A vote for a dictatorship

Trump is saying he will jail Hillary if he becomes president.Now LePage feels those who oppose him should be in prison. The sad part is the conservatives agree because they are incapable of seeing where this could lead. How do the leaders of most dictatorships keep in office? They simply imprison or execute people who oppose their views. The statements of Trump and LePage say what they would do if they ever gained enough power. A vote for them is like supporting a government like Russia, China or north Korea.

It is what the Republican Party has become and a sizable number of Americans support. They will lose this time but will be back with maybe new actors. Wealth inequality and marginalization is here to stay worldwide.

from some of Trump's extreme, well-armed, hostile and angry base that will need to reckoned with.
