Suggestion for Democrats: Putin is a gangster, oligarchs are gangsters, Trump is a wannabe gangster

[BeyondGeography]

Let’s stop talking about autocracy and authoritarians and oligarchs and start talking about gangsters.

Since civilization hangs in the balance, we need to simplify things for people.

If they still want to vote for gangsters, so be it. At least give it our best shot.

1. Yes, they are the Gangsters Old Party and

they are PROUD of it!

2. Don

That’s his name, right?

4. Yes. Hadn't thought of it but it is

Appropriately so!

3. I'm using Twitter to push the idea that Trump is no longer the

spiritual leader of the GOP. It's now Putin.

5. Kleptocracy is the goal

Self-dealing, unlimited wealth, no government intrusion, the freedom to kill or imprison anyone who gets in the way.

What’s not to love?

10. Gee, that sounds like Pooty and his oligarchs

as well as his loser stooge at Merde a Loco

6. TFG got thousands killed by calling it a hoax.

He killed 1000's more than any gangster. And all for the money he made from the white house.

7. Truth!

We must deal with kleptocracy.

8. Good Point.

In another post, I said:

I believe that this four-line message cannot be refuted by the RW's and will sway the swayable.

Fraud
Fear
Fascism, and
"Every accusation is a confession."

Now, if you want to analyze in a bit more detail (I really try to keep things short in these posts)

Maga is a cult, and cults trap you in ways similar to ways that addiction does.
in response to "Maga is the meth of politics"

One observation I left out is that gangster behavior is very similar.
So, the analogy to gangsterism is very apt. Maybe MORE SO than to cult and addictive behavior.


And sometimes, you can be both.

For a more detailed account of gangsters, read "The Way of the Wiseguy" by "Donnie Brasco" Joe Pistone.
Specifically chapter 34 of the same name.

9. Trump is also a gangster, not just wannabe. Remember Comey's impression at their first meeting?

The Mafia Don vibe was very strong.

11. Ummm.. the DEMOCRATS knew this way back in 2016.

We're not the ones who need to be reminded.
Democrats warned, spoke out, & warned some more.
Who ignored the warnings, again?
It's not the Democrats who need to be 'reminded'.


"I'm the Last Thing Standing Between You and The Apocalypse" - Hillary Clinton, October 11, 2016

She warned of Vladimer Putin long ago.
She encouraged the Russian people to rise up against his regime. That he was corrupt.

As Sec of State she knew Putin was a student of the KGB & the most dangerous mobster in the world, Semion Mogolevich & his corrupt global criminal organization.

She & her Democrats warned of the dangers Trump would bring America & the world.
No one cared to hear it. Media was silent.
Opponants drove her name & platform into the dirt.

The Democrats aren't the ones who need to be reminded.
