The Unusual Timing of Trump's Ascendancy
The abominable nature of Donald Trump's cult is evident, as is the embarrassment of how one of the political parties in a two-party system has been essentially obliterated, disproving the pretension that the United States is the leader of the free world.
What about the time of this country's disintegration, though? Why is this blatantly anti-American demagoguery, which aims to undermine American institutions and elevate a gravely ill, would-be tyrant, taking place at the start of the twenty-first century?
There are certain similarities between Trump and other instances of inhumanity in the GOP, such as the 1964 Barry Goldwater campaign and Richard Nixon's paranoia, as well as Ronald Reagan's continuation of the Cold War and Newt Gingrich's careless sabotage, as I've shown elsewhere.
