How do you recognize dictatorship? They usually do not have ridiculous small mustaches, they do not march in joint. Almost never call themselves fascists. But one thing is clear already in the first stage and that is the total unwillingness of dialogue: they demand to keep hoofs – without counter -questions or criticism. Their power should be perfect.
They detest transparency and accountability, therefore handles the press that something the cat has dragged in. They try to threaten silence, physically if they can. And the civilians, quite ordinary citizens who hold against them, they crush without blinking.
It is in the light that one should consider the events of recent days in California, and where the United States is going under Donald Trump and Republicans.
