Televised Sadism

Spectator USA: Why is the party of Trump comfortable with televised sadism? The President isn’t Hitler. But the banality of his populist nationalism is eerily familiar by Rick Wilson

They loved his Reality show because it was essentially a gladiator bout without swords. He's a bully and bullies love to pit their victims against each other and sit back and watch the mayhem. His Presidency is the BULLY Presidency where everything is about viciousness , cruelty and violence. Cooperation, Comity, Community are hated. He wants Obedience, loyalty and subservience instead. He sees America as a feudal State with him as King /Emperor and the wealthy as the new Aristocracy. The rest of us are peasants to be used and abused and discarded.

He better enjoy it while it lasts because history has not tolerated his ilk well. However, the tools available for the aristocracy to maintain control right now are far superior to anything history has dealt with.
