Trump's DINO STATE [1]

Donald Trump and his minions are attempting to convert the USA into a DINO STATE (Democracy In Name Only). The USA would then become the most powerful of the existing DINO STATES like Russia, Turkey, Hungary and of other aspirants like Israel.

DINO STATES are characterized by a strong-man rule, the neutering of the courts and legislatures and holding elections as window-dressing with pre-arranged results. Elections are still held to make the DINO STATES seem more stable than like outright dictatorships.

DINO STATES transform their courts, legislatures, military, and police to do their bidding to control their population and for use against the neighboring states. All previous checks and balances used by their former states are eliminated by the DINO STATES.

The alternate relities generated by the DINO STATE’S propoganda machines, as well confusing their populations, make them incapable of dealing with the natural disasters caused by Global Warming.

DINO STATES generate strife with neighboring states resulting in trade wars, embargos, deficits, and annexation of territory from their neighbors. DINO STATES discriminate against their own lower and middle classes and minorities while enriching their wealthy supporters.

DINO STATES generate popular internal support by stressing popular and jingoistic stands on political and social issues like emphasizing hatred for immigrants and promising to make their states great again.

DINO STATES are very unstable-their rhetoric does not match reality and they lower the living standards of their populations and because they create conflicts with surrounding states. Due to this instability DINO STATES require the need for expanded police and military force to keep the population in line and to expand their borders.

Donald Trump has not yet completed his attempt to make the USA into a DINO STATE. Ignoring almost 250 years of democratic has caused powerful groups in our country to protest Trump’s attempted transition to an authoritarian DINO STATE. There is still time for our citiens and institutions to protest and stop the rise of Trump’s DINO STATE.

Hopefully we can cause the DINO STATES to suffer the same fate as the DINOSAURS.
