Video & Podcast: Memphis Task Force Busts Over 850 Violent Criminals / Hamilton County Arrests Over 350 Illegal Aliens / Over 30 “No Kings” Protests Happening This Weekend In TN…

A couple of months ago I was watching C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal.” It’s a great, live political discussion program that takes calls from viewers all across the political spectrum. On that particular morning one Trump supporter called in and said (paraphrasing here), “People keep calling Trump a king. I actually don’t have a problem with that. I think he would make a GREAT king!” And I thought to myself, if ONE caller feels that way, there’s got to be more. It would seem that there are PLENTY of people who relish Trump’s brand of authoritarianism. I do not. It reeks of fascism. Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe. Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. This is a perfect description of the Trump Administration. If you object to the title “King Trump,” perhaps “Generalisimo Trump” is more accurate.
