Trump following a familiar pattern

Want to know what a second Trump presidency would be like? Well, history tells us if we care. Trump is following the game plan of Benito Mussolini as he stomped out democracy in Italy in the 1920s. Once he took on the role of Prime Minister, Mussolini began a campaign to remove his political rivals, control the media and undermine the rights of workers.

He and his political cohorts then consolidated governmental power through a series of laws that transformed the nation into a one-party dictatorship. By 1925, he had dismantled Italy's democratic government and declared himself Il Duce ("The Leader"). If you recall, Trump has already anointed himself, "The Chosen One."

Please listen and understand the actions this wannabe autocrat wants to initiate if he becomes president. He has the same blueprint for America as Mussolini had for Italy.

Recall the famous adage, if we don't learn from history, we are condemned to repeat it.

I am hoping and praying enough correct thinking Americans will go to the polls and stop Trump from the Big Steal of our democracy.
