You literally described my experience of the past decade. I’m an undereducated nitwit who happened to have grown up in one of the old nazi occupied countries and remembers the stories my grandparents used to tell.
I also had an unfortunate amount of exposure to narcissists (yay generational trauma) and the narcissist’s playbook is nearly identical to the fascist’s playbook.
In Trump’s case, they’re one and the same. They’re laughably easy to predict.
Sadly, us Americans and our Exceptionalism taught us that ‘it couldn’t happen here’, and we are so arrogant as to truly believe we are somehow immune to the forces of history that broadly apply everywhere and at all times.
Fucking oh well I guess, at least I can sleep soundly knowing that I tried my damndest.
