The book, On Tyranny

On Tyranny, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0804190119/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi all, I have been gone for a very long time. Life and our current situation in America has knocked the wind out of me. I wondered what would ever be important enough to make me post here again and I found it. The book, On Tyranny, recommended by Michael Stipe, saw him reading a chapter from this book on YouTube, and I love him so much and knew it had to be important. This book is scary as hell because it is describing what Trump and his swamp people are trying to do to our Country. It advises us on how to properly resist. Check it out if you haven't already.

the tools change with advances in media communications, but the playbook is essentially the same, because it works all too often.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to ALL anti-tRump Americans!! (I would recommend it to PRO-tRumpers if I thought they could read and comprehend it.)

WARNING: You will find it very chilling as you think about how past tyrants behaved and the correlation to our current nemesis. --- --- I know I did.
