This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read in a major publication. We are turning into an Idiocracy
washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinio…
Up to eight million people died during the socialist-induced famine of 1932–33 alone. But yes, WaPo columnist, Trump is just like Stalin because 7 percent of the government work force has been temporarily furloughed.
Around 10 millions people were sent to Gulags under Soviet rule -- many of them for political crimes. So yes, just like the firing of James Comey!
In the Soviet Union every story and report was written by the state-controlled media. Those who brought in non-sanctioned news faced the prospects of prison or worse. So yeah, just like FOX News!
Watching a liberal who advocates for state involvement in basically every area of the economy comparing higher tariffs (which liberals candidates widely supported before-Trump) to Soviet-era central planning ... well, man, is it dumb.
If you think this sounds anything like the US, maybe you've lost your way intellectually.
And watching people I once respected retweet a piece comparing 2019 US to the Soviet Union is even more evidence that Trump has broken them.
