Hitler did much on the same, though there's no 1-to-1 comparison. At least Hitler's regime brought the population up from staggering poverty to plenty. American fascist policies are failing to show such an upturn. ATM, they're bringing slightly cheaper gasoline at the pump.
Kind of a big deal! People notice those prices and petro-economies (basically all of them) run on gasoline. American voters are simple, cheap gas good. Sounds OK so far.
That's it. And most other economic factors are worse. (Don't look up the "Buffett Index", for your own sanity.) The GOP has pulled all the supports that were to keep us from Great Depression 2.0.
See how the Trump regime loses support? In any case, he's clearly suffering dementia, which only gets worse, and god knows what other health ailments. Once the cult leader is dead, anyone taking his place catches ALL the blame for ALL the things. But by then, too late.
Interesting times indeed.
