I wrote this to an American friend today. For my non-Swedish-reading readers.
I wrote in 2016 that what I saw happening when the Trump/Bannon-mob took over
had similarities with what happened in the German 1930:s. Trump has not only
made the US a place most nations look away from, but he is, because of your
nation´s power, wrecking much of the old democratic world order.
The Hitler-gang did the same thing. A small trivial and insignificant Austrian
sergeant did not look like much of a threat - and you could say that of the
hot-dog-stand-vendor in the White House too... But after a couple of years with
yes-saying German ordinary citizens Hitler more or less wrecked the entire planet,
and when I listen to the trumpy mob I can see similarities. It is so frustrating
and inexplicable that the American public just stands there, going on mowing
the lawns and hoping for better weather and more antiabortionists and other
devout idiots to call the shots.
The US scares me for the first time since that other idiot (Kennedy) was
running the show. I remember our discussions in 1962-1963 - I did my military
service then, when the threat that many thought came from Castro (it sounds
so ridiculous to even say that today) actually came from the WH.
