How Trumps Regime is Becoming Totalitarian

In the USA right now the Trump regime is in the process of actually seizing the state. While the remnants of the old regime based on the constitution remains in place, a kind of ghost of its former self, the legislative as well as the executive branches of the government are in the process of being eliminated and replaced by racist, sexist and xenophobic laws that are isolating the US from its former friends and allying it with the most brutal totalitarian regimes world wide. The Trump administration is in the process of amassing its own private army and paying for it through the taxpayers purse. The regime itself is in its very essence protean. It has no actual form that you can say ‘aha!’ Rather it hides beneath legitimate offices and existing structures. It operates on a kind of anxiety and terror inducing shift from one policy to another, a kind of legerdemain where one crisis after another is introduced in the form of horrendous headlines while at the same time in the background Trump and his thugs are consolidating power. This is all happening of course in the name of freedom and keeping America great and dealing with enemies of the people and the thousand other cliches and obfuscatory tactics that any totalitarian regime deploys to dull the sensibilities of its people and quell unrest and blind people to what is really happening. If the next election turns out that Trump loses, well its election fraud. If a journalist writes a negative article about the regime, its fake news. If you speak out against the regime, you go on an enemies list and you are either fired, or you are disgraced or are investigated by his increasingly corrupt justice department or intimidated by obedient law enforcement officials or locked away in some horrific camp. Accusations of corruption are lies. Loyalty is rewarded so long as its blind loyalty. People are being installed to follow the unthinking, and when I say the word unthinking I mean absolutely unthinking obedience. The brain drain from the USA is shocking. Europe is certainly benefiting from it. Its important to never think, to shift the thinking and therefore the responsibility for these illegal immoral corrupt orders to ones superiors, the gods of the Trump regime. to take an apposite historical example, Hannah Arendt for instance, was shocked when she met Eichmann in Jerusalem, the bureaucrat who prepared the minutes of the Wannasee Conference, one of the functionaries of the Holocaust. He was an ordinary guy, loved his wife and kids, not an angry ideologue. He was pronounced sane by six psychiatrists, declared well balanced, untroubled. His chief quality was he didn’t think, didn’t reflect. incapable of self reflection. He believed in the Hitler Cult as so many believe blindly now in the Cult of Trump. He followed orders. He thought in cliches. Make America Great? Fake News? Trump Derangement Syndrome? These cliches are there to stop people seeing the wood for the trees, and the ‘wood’ is thoroughly rotten, corrupt and destroying a once great nation that had many flaws but stood for something. There is little or no thinking involved now in the USA. Its all so shocking from one day to the next that its impossible to take a breath, stand back, and see what’s going on. And what is going on is dreadful. What is involved in the Trump Regime the installation of a new law, that being the will of the leader himself. History doesn’t repeat itself. It rhymes. A lot of what’s going on in the USA rhymes with many other totalitarian take overs. We have lost our leader in the West. We are in deep trouble.
