I think the likes of Stalin and Hitler had the intelligence, cunning, and control to actually lead their misguided followers. What worries me about someone like Trump is how an immoral and unethical grifter can keep fooling roughly half the population, while the puppet masters behind him push their agenda. I'm worried we're moving into an era where presidential candidates will merely be a personality, incapable of any significant train of thought, and unseen controllers will actually be calling all the shots. At least Mile Bruner came to his senses and has decided to do the right thing.


As a luddite, is this basically what became of British royalty?

If he could keep fooling roughly half the population, his support would be near constant, which isn’t what the actual evidence shows.
