one generation away

"freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction" - ronald reagan | i long for the days when a tv star could lead a country. and i think for some this is the idea they had in their head when they elected mr. trump president. but our current reality tv star is an egomaniacal wannabe dic(k)tator who only cares about his ratings. he does not care about the health, wealth, and well-being of the citizens. he only cares about his friends' deep pockets and setting his cronies up for success. but i feel I've seen this all before. no, no. not that guy in russia. but in a different part of the world. a different time. i mean: his base - as they call it - has a demographic look about it and they have a well-known set of beliefs about minorities. sounds a bit like wwwii germany, no? in fact our dude has already locked minorities up in prison camps just for just being minorities. so this is a warning. if you don't pay attention you just might miss all the signs right in front of you. | "if you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed." - adolf hitler
