I keep saying it because people need to know.

Trump is an authoritarian. Authoritarians are inherently incompetent and their incompetence creates crises.

Those crises are blamed on conspiracies and minorities.

When anger builds, authoritarian seize power.

This is black and white. It always happens. This Chinese scapegoating will grow to include minorities and supposed traitors who are just political rivals. Watch this unfold. I’ve been screaming about this before and as it happens. There is a proven, concrete cycle.

Here’s a more in-depth piece on the authoritarian cycle. We need to educate ourselves so we can see the signs as they happen and prepare for the inevitable movements. We’re to the scapegoating/conspiracy stage. It’ll lead to anger and violence.
