Trump hits new low in approval poll

Haven't I seen this line before? In a police state people are responsible to the political bosses and the bosses offer practically nothing in return other than a relaxation of brutality that should not already exist.


Quote:In a police state, you don't need to pay your debts. Food, housing,
Obamaphones, and medical care are free.

It depends upon who runs the police state and for whom. Nazi Germany was a police state and an extreme plutocracy. In the Third Reich, people were responsible to employers who could set whatever norms of production they wanted. Anyone who fell short or grumbled about conditions got to go to a concentration camp where one was obliged to work harder for starvation rations under conditions that would eventually kill one if one did not get sent back to the exploitative peonage of German agriculture or industry. Nazi Germany had a 'modern' version of medieval serfdom in that one could not change employers without the consent of the current employer.  


Quote:You can kill kids if the Gestapo tells you to.


The Gestapo was bad -- but not quite that bad. It did send families to death camps to be annihilated. 


Quote:There are no morals because there are no churches.

The churches have called out our President for defiling a church by using it for a photo op without consent -- and worse yet, using force to make that blasphemous photo op possible. 

Quote:If you have a problem, you can just blame Trump, Russia, or the UN.

Non sequitur.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
