Which is why I said Trump was a deep cover agent, or Melania was for Russia in a tongue in cheek manner when he ran for office the first time. My family accused me of reading too many spy books, which might be true. I was devouring everything on the Stasi that I could get after visiting my relatives in the Former East Germany who were talking about nothing but Stasi right after the wall came down. Germany has had several movies and series depicting those times, from many perspectives, with different prototype characters, but never is a Stasi portrayed sympathetically. That is why I cannot for the life of me understand how so many Americans can just sleepwalk into a totalitarian state like they seem to be.
I hope enough of us wake the fuck up and vote blue. If we don’t by the time the Maga cult realizes what’s happening it will be too late for all of us—- especially those in Red states. They are the “clueless “………
This film, 2007 Oscar winning "The Lives of Others", was absolutely an eye-opener for me about the Stasi. I was in college when all this was happening - just over the border from Germany where I was downing beers at Munich's annual Oktoberfest. And of course I remember when the wall came down. Merciless, petty, and cruel. No one wins when human beings are in a state of control and paranoia 24x7. With TODAY'S technology, we have to imagine what Trump would do/approve/demand of the technologists to obtain total domination of the people against the people.
Eileen I totally agree with everything you are saying. I would love to see a series of targeted ads that depict the world that Trump wants to create so each thing gets spelled out. Unfortunately a lot of Americans seem to have too limited an experience to imagine what life will be like. I have a good idea, and it is nothing I want to have. I was discussing that with my brother-in-law here in Germany tonight at dinner. We see all of our children needing to get military training in Europe, which my 19-year old daughter is not eager to do. I feel that even at my age I should try to get training even though I am not in great shape, because if Trump wins, life as we know it will end in a bad way. I see WWIII happening, with US military being commanded to aid Russia and train Russians as they and our military and Putins few allies lay devastation to Europe again. In the USA women will be living in total submission to men, and everyone who is not a straight, White, Fake-Christian-Odin-Worshipping-Male is likely to find themselves working a slave labor. No Social security. My Democrats Abroad Webinar discussed the Republican plans for Social Security, led by Donny Trump himself, and it is basically to decimate it. I could go on, because I have a picture in each area that I read about, but there is probably so much more I do not have the experience to fathom because the corruption and evil probably make books like Orson Well's 1984 seem like a fun time.

A sociopath like Trump has no bottom. Since he is 77, then there is the hope he won't be around much longer.
