@emersunn@beige.party @tartley@fosstodon.org I, for one, stand corrected, Paul. Thank YOU for taking the time to elaborate. I'm currently watching Mr Tom Hanks's series on the Second World War and I recently watched a documentary, Mr Nobody vs Putin, that both lay out how totalitarian regimes brainwash and manipulate their people. If there is a difference between what was done in totalitarian regimes elsewhere and what is (and has been) happening in the US, the difference is only in the minor details, not in the broad substance. #Authoritarianism #Totalitarianism #Trumpism
