And the reason I say that is because Hitler and the Nazis hid their true agenda from the public until they had control. But what I'm seeing at the moment is that GOP candidates are unashamed to be extremist conservatives, with awful and extreme hateful polices. It will make USA easily the most oppressive western government in current times, if it isn't already.
Now we know what the problem is let's talk about the solution. The solution, according to USA when this happens in other places, is that you go in and overthrow the democratically elected government by force. Well first you say that you don't recognise the authority of the current government, and that gives you justification to go in and overthrow it because it's run amuk. This is similar to the sins of colonialism only more extreme.
The USA has set the precedent that they believe it's OK to overthrow democratically elected governments such as Guatemala in 1954 if it serves their own purposes. But this plan of theirs never, ever has a happy ending for the sovereign State they've overthrown. It pushes the State into depression, it stunts their economic growth, it destroys employment, etc.
Meaningful change must come from within. The USA's repeated destabilisation activities undertaken in the Middle East have facilitated the creation, rise, and expansion of Al Qaeda, DAESH, and other militant rebel groups in the area. It's funny actually to then see them blame Islam for a problem that they are wholly responsible for creating. The point is that after more than a century of this shit we know what to expect.
Personally, I'd like to see the USA overthrown by military force. It would be terrible for their State, but it would be a much needed reprieve for others facing oppression under the constant threat of military action from USA. It would finally give those countries the chance to grow from within, a chance they don't have at present.
Oh, we aren't all that bad in 'Murrica - during WWII, we fought the Nazis and a worldwide expansionist Japanese Emperor while we already had our own concentration camps for those who shared race and only that in common with Japan, we had Jim Crow laws, segregated schools, "Coloreds" were forced to ride in the back of the bus, and interracial marriages were illegal. We still have racial violence, but we aren't about to go back anywhere close to the evil practices which prevailed when the world regarded Uncle Sam as a friend. We haven't moved backward, we've just been slow as usual at making forward progress, and the idiots such as Trump and worse who you see are the sideshow of the losers who are actually allowed to speak their minds and make fools of themselves. Maybe this alone is what offends those in other "Western" countries the most, where anti-blasphemy and anti-libel laws can actually get people put in jail.
