RE: a dictator's playbook

I don't know if they have. Almost everyone on the left, including most academics, have been calling out exactly what has been going on for awhile. Many traditional conservatives are also starting to speak out against him. To me what is worrying is corporation. They know exactly what is going on, but they choose to bend the knee and give bribes in the hope that they can deflect his attention. As John Oliver said recently in his rant against Disney for the Kimmel suspension, "You feed the bully and he doesn't go away, he just comes back hungrier."

They have been waiting for someone like this, for a regime like this, for more than 100 years, ever since the Progressive Era. They want to turn the clock back to the 19th century when there were no controls on corporate growth. When there were no labor regulations, no environmental restrictions.

The Golden Age for them was the age of the Robber Barons.

The corporations are propping up this government.
