Fascism. Communism. Totalitarianism. Trumpism.

The cult members don’t believe in anything except Trump.
That makes it a cult, but the word “cult” almost seems like a club or a badge of honor to those who are proud to be in it.

Trumpism is an ideology that involves aligning your political beliefs with the stated positions of Trump, whatever they happen to be at that particular hour. Trumpism is hollow, obviously not intellectual.

Trumpism is a phenomenon of the early 21st century in which the corpse of the Republican Party allied with the flesh and blood of a segment of disenchanted and disgruntled citizenry, creating a Frankenstein which the majority struggled to rein in.

Trumpism is a virus or a cancer that is threatening to take the life out of American democracy.

Ask 50 senators, what ideology do you profess? Trumpism. What did trump say today, that’s what I believe.

Capitalism created this. Its filthy rich created and placed Traitor Trump in a position of power.

The filthy rich are happy. They are stealing more and more of our national wealth. They are hoarding the wealth of America.

So don't blame Communism. Communism is gone. Yeah, China calls itself Communist but they aren't.

This is ALL due to Capitalism.

Mainstream America isn’t very precise on the meaning of “capitalism”. There are a whole lot of people that equate it with mom and apple pie.

All enabled by populism.

Populism is toxic and is the antithesis of liberalism.

Resist!
