Very dangerous escalation toward totalitarian control.
To escape criticism for his role in the Iran escalation of regional tensions, Trump & his cabal created a disinformation meme linking criticism of him to outright support for the Iranian regime & endangering American lives.

This is the type of action a totalitarian dictator takes. The type of dictator that uses thought reform. The kind of dictator that has total control of what some citizens believe. Because they’ve surrendered their autonomy and allow the dictator to redefine truth.
Criticism of Trump’s escalation of the tensions in Iran are not synonymous with support for the Iranian regime.
An analogy: criticizing a neighbour for kicking a wasp nest isn’t support for the wasps, it’s criticism for putting all at risk of being stung by infuriated wasps.

Well 176 innocent people were “stung” (i.e. by the missile that brought down a civilian aircraft). Precisely because US provocation of killing Iran’s second in command in a 3rd nation’s domain.
Trump and his corrupt administration killed Soleimani (kicked a wasp nest) and are now equating criticism of that action as support for the Iranian regime. That’s absurd.
So why did Trump order Soleimani’s death? Why now?
There are several theories.

Dictators use the absurd to manipulate truth and perception of reality.
The bigger the lie the better.
Hitler used the “Big Lie” to manipulate the German people to control truth and perception of reality. He had developed the concept and included it in “Mein Kampf.”

Dictators use a multitude of tactics to control truth and perception.
Trump uses dictator methods to retain power. He’s quite adept at it as well.

The tactics that dictators use come from a deviant, corrupt mind. Dictators manipulate truth & reality. The unthinkable is then possible. Read the rationale used by Magda Goebbels to murder her 6 children & commit suicide with her husband. Disturbing!

Recognize the level of radicalization and extremism that permeates the minds of those that fall victim to this method.
This is thought reform. Brainwashing, persuasive coercion.
Autocrats (on the left & right) are using this method to gain and retain control globally.

Identification of people who have become victim to this method: They stop using reasoning, rational thought, critical thinking and voluntarily reject anything but the leader’s “Big Lie.”
This can only be done if a dictator controls the narrative victims are exposed to.

The “Big Lie” is a tactic developed and documented by Hitler in his book “Mein Kampf.” Hitler states the more egregious the better. A lie so big, it’s believed because no one believes anyone would tell such a tale and expect it to be believed.
This tactic is used often by Trump. But it’s not just Trump. Republicans, Canadian cons, Canadian NDP, UK cons; they are all using the big lie.
Because they do, and repeat it ad nauseam, your time debunking myths, presenting evidence, refuting lies, etc. is a waste of time.

Progressives can present evidence until they are blue in the face. It won’t budge the belief system of a thought reformed victim. It’s cult behaviour. Loyal supporters would sooner abandon their loved ones than question the “dear leader.”
The fact I don’t have to check that information or provide evidence because I’m confident every progressive reading this is connected to at least one person who has “drank the Koolaid” is testament to its effectiveness. It works. A little too well.
So back to Trump...
Trump is an extreme example of this tactic because he is a real mobster. He’s now demonstrably public & overt in his mobster threats. He no longer hides his despotism. Threatening to target cultural sites is intense torment.
Trump knew he’d get pushback.

This is how he conducts himself on the world stage. Overt Intimidation & provocation.
And that is precisely what he is doing by tweeting out doctored images of Democrats. He’s putting a target on their heads.
The US is no longer a democracy.

That also leave much to ponder about all Canadian cons and radicalized far left NDP who are using demagoguery & similar tactics.
It says that we are on a trajectory to despotism. It says this isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s real and really happening.

Canadian politicians are using the same tactics Hitler used to control most of Germany and occupied Europe during WW2. If you don’t drink the koolaid, you’ll be intimidated and threatened.
Yes it really is this bad!

Far right henchmen were out during both provincial and federal elections defacing political signs, keying cars. Cultural communities are at risk because immigrants often have limited family in Canada. A threat against family in nation of origin would be almost imperceptible.
Trump is consolidating power. Meaning his henchmen and proxy politicos will be as well. And Cons are definitely Trump supporters.
Buckle up. It’s about to get uncomfortably bumpy. Impeachment trial in senate starts next week.
