Dr. Andrew Bacevich (Wikipedia
link) is a brilliant observer, student, and authority
with much relevant experience. Below the line are links to videos
and articles by him and related to him that I have sent you in the
past. For one thing, finding them served to bring back some history
that I want to remember. You can, and I hope you will, review them
to judge for yourself this great man's accuracy. Please read this
article, either first or last or in between. Thank you. "What
Trumpism means for democracy," by Prof. Andrew Bacevich,
The Guardian, March 2, 2016
Andrew Bacevich (Wikipedia link) writes in significant part:
Now is not the time to be antisocial. Please do everything you can to help ensure that Donald Trump (Drumpf) does not become president. Yes there is much at which to laugh, but he is not funny, really, not the least bit. Yes we have some things about which to be angry. The biggest one is the unlimited interventionist foreign policy dreams that the PNAC, Richard Cheney, and George Bush and their henchmen got us going on and that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have continued, giving credit to Barack Obama for having espoused some conservatism. While those people try not to talk about the cost, you and I know that the cost has done great harm to our lives, personally and as a culture. [Donald Drumpf] promises to be worse than anybody. So please engage to do what you can to stop him. And yes there are things that you can do. You can start by being rude and talking to people on the topic of "politics" and by accepting fully that what those people do can and will continue affect your life and the lives of those for whom you care! Thank you! LAS

One way or another, raise yourself up I say; get over fear. If you are not doing it you can do it. Other people are doing it. We can learn from them, I find.
Andrew Bacevich (Wikipedia link) writes in significant part:
"Should Trump or a Trump mini-me ultimately succeed in capturing the presidency, a possibility that can no longer be dismissed out of hand, the effects will be even more profound. In all but name, the United States will cease to be a constitutional republic. Once President Trump inevitably declares that he alone expresses the popular will, Americans will find that they have traded the rule of law for a version of caudillismo. Trump’s Washington could come to resemble Buenos Aires in the days of Juan Perón, with Melania a suitably glamorous stand-in for Evita, and plebiscites suitably glamorous stand-ins for elections."from http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/mar/02/donald-trump-means-for-democracy-trumpism-super-tuesday
