A genuine fascist demagogue.

Cruz, Rubio, Ryan, McConnell, Rauner, Scott, Rahm Emanuel (D), Dannel Malloy (D) and many other elected officials are in complete agreement with Trump's issues and platform. Burns is simply playing the part of a patriot who believes that America would be fine with a little tweak or two - or even a vote for Hillary or the Wall St. billionaire who will step in to take Trump's place prior to the election.<br />What is the real issue? Corporatism.<br />"Our corporate masters know what is coming. They know that as the ecosystem breaks down, as financial dislocations create new global financial meltdowns, as natural resources are poisoned or exhausted, despair will give way to panic and rage."<br />"Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, of course, will do nothing to halt the corporate assault. There will be no reform. Totalitarian systems are not rational. There will only be harsher forms of repression and more pervasive systems of indoctrination and propaganda. The voices of dissenters, now marginalized, will be silenced.<br />It is time to step outside of the establishment. This means organizing groups, including political parties, that are independent of the corporate political machines that control the Republicans and Democrats."<br />Chris Hedges, who knows that Trump is a mere bogeyman, puts it all together as he looks at historical patterns. <br />http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/we_must_understand_corporate_power_to_fight_it_20160612Ken Previtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513924091013990654noreply@blogger.com
