Donald Trump will lead to a US decline under American Fascism (It is game over)

American fascism would spring from its capacity for global violence, a vision of exceptionalism, a belief in an inevitable and final war between good and evil, the cult of a strong state leading that battle, and a cult of the “strong leader.”

Galtung said all of those elements presented themselves during the Bush era, but he fears fascist tendencies could sharpen under Trump as those cultists lash out in disbelief at the loss of American power.

The sociologist identified unsustainable economic, social, military and political contradictions that would eventually topple the U.S. as a world power.

Overproduction relative to demand, unemployment and the increasing costs of climate change would weaken the U.S. economy, according to his model.

of school boards. They destroy education and don't teach reality and allow illiterates to graduate. And I ain't talking about those 'damn illegals' or the 'blacks' I mean the dumb ass white kids in the suberbs.

... he can't, even Clinton would have a hard time making Obama's econ stats better.

Dems hurt themselves by allowing the inside and outside message of America's economic progress under Obama to be underplayed.
