The Dictator’s Playbook (Episode 3)

Of course, I knew about Benito Mussolini’s Fascists, but I’d never analyzed how he came to power.

MIGA: Make Italy Great Again! Oh-oh. While I am suspicious of the MAGA echo, I think that this ‘proves’ that Donald J Trump is inspired by his admiration of Italy’s “strong man”. He also seems to take ideas from the Fascist’s playbook.

This list forgot the one that Trump uses best: the Cult of Personality. He has created followers who would follow him to the gates of Hell, if he asked them to: see January 6, 2021. But he’s done ‘nothing wrong’. Just remember how most dictators end up: dead and disgraced. No one is above spiritual law.
