<div dir="ltr">I wish I could be as positive about the end of "Trumpism", but I too well understand the people who support him, and their support is the manifestation of a very ugly streak that runs through the American psyche. I think Trump will survive Mueller and get re-elected in 2020. Happy new year to you, too :-)</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 9:53 AM Jochen Fromm <<a href="mailto:jofr@cas-group.net">jofr@cas-group.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div>Merry christmas and a happy new year 2019! I hope Mueller will finish his report in 2019 and I assume president Trump will either resign or be impeached like Nixon, since the House belongs now to the democrats (Did you know "Mueller" is the German version of "Miller" btw? As you know a miller is someone who creates the flour we need for life) Then Donald will spend the rest of his life in prison or seek asylum in Russia. This would be the end of "Trumpism". But who knows, it's a complex world. In hindsight we will learn more about "Trumpism" as well. At the moment it seems to be a mixture of the original Italian fascism and post-soviet authoritarianism, i.e. the rule of an authoritarian leader who demands absolute loyalty and trusts only his family. I believe we can only decode social systems if we really understand the various forms of *-isms like fascism, nazism or communism, and how they are related. </div><div><br></div><div>-Jochen</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>============================================================<br>
