A MUST READ BEFORE THE 2024
US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
IRREVERENT, FACTUAL, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING
Part II – Second Edition
Part II puts in evidence a tendency in which America is not leading but following a trend of countries where autocratic leaders use the democratic process to reach their personal goals of wealth and power. Any leader with enough political savvy, communication skills, and charisma can capitalize on anti-establishment, nationalist identity, and economic prosperity, with promises to make the country great again and fix all the wrongs that ill it. The genius of Donald Trump has been to recognize and capitalize on all those latent populist sentiments by unifying many people towards a messianic goal of saving America from ethnical racial replacement, religious irrelevancy, middle-class social marginalization, diminished global influence, and a perceived economic decline. 
 
To fulfill those promises, millions of Americans are quite content to accept Donald Trump’s politics of chaos, outrageous, unfounded claims, and even the prospect of America losing its experiment with democracy and becoming a banana republic, albeit one with nuclear nukes.
