I prefer the model of Twain's "history doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes"...
It appears that the great poem of life has lapsed into a riff of
thug-rap (taking names and popping caps)... which could go on for quite
a while... apparently there are a lot of folks who want/need that kind
of angry/negative me-first energy?
And a slap-happy new year to you too!
Dear Pollyanna,
It will end and we’ll all learn an important lesson?
Whew, I was worried there for a minute!
Thanks,
Marcus

*Subject: *[FRIAM] 2019 - The end of Trumpism
Merry christmas and a happy new year 2019! I hope Mueller will finish
his report in 2019 and I assume president Trump will either resign or
be impeached like Nixon, since the House belongs now to the democrats
(Did you know "Mueller" is the German version of "Miller" btw? As you
know a miller is someone who creates the flour we need for life) Then
Donald will spend the rest of his life in prison or seek asylum in
Russia. This would be the end of "Trumpism". But who knows, it's a
complex world. In hindsight we will learn more about "Trumpism" as
well. At the moment it seems to be a mixture of the original Italian
fascism and post-soviet authoritarianism, i.e. the rule of an
authoritarian leader who demands absolute loyalty and trusts only his
family. I believe we can only decode social systems if we really
understand the various forms of *-isms like fascism, nazism or
communism, and how they are related.
