Dictatorship in America will be bad for all

Most modern Americans have no idea what living under a dictator is really like. All they know is abstract soundbites and "Saddam was a bad man that killed many people.."

They don't know what it's like to be taken to an open mass grave, with a gun to their head about to be the next body to fill that grave.

They don't know what it's like to have neighbors, or even their own kids to be watchibg them, ready to snitch them out for some real or imagined "crime against patriotism to the State", knowing that they could end up in a secret prison because little Chuckums was coerced into ratting out mommy and daddy for extra ice cream for lunch.

They don't know what it's like to live in a society that is 40 or more years behind the rest of the world, forced to buy vastly inferior and bland products, goods such as a car or a television might have a multi-year waiting list and be absolute shit, making Walmart crap look like shining examples of craftmanshio.

They don't know what it's like to have guards with machine guns on every corner; omnipresent and never going away because the State is hyper paranoid and xenophobic about enemies within and beyound the State's borders.

They don't know what it's like to be locked INSIDE their own country, and shot by their own government for trying tp escape over the border.

They never smelled the smokestacks spewing out almost nonstop the smoke of cremated human bodies; the people the State declared the "enemy" and then murdered by the thousands and ultimately millions.

They never seen the horrific and mad-scientist human experimentation done on people deemed "inferior" or "unfit". Actually this one was routine in America up until a few decades ago.

There are of course,many more horrific examples of what goes on under a dictatorship, because this is what Trump wants to set in motion.


Ultimately, no one is safe under a dictatorship, not even the 'desirables'. Everyone holds a knife behind their back while wearing a forced, shit eating grin, ready to advance and look the most "patriotic" by throwing their chums under the bus.
