European history includes how the Nazis exacted retribution for a fallen Nazi by executing hundreds of Italians. Slavic country citizens were executed by the thousands. Eventually, it became millions of industrial executions. At an astronomical financial cost, Trump is just beginning to murder or jail people outside the US to life in prison.

Words are the mechanism of control, but so is retribution.
Orwell demonstrated how to assign villain and hero status. Dictators practice it.

Trump wants to provoke violence by putting troops on the streets, hoping something will happen to justify military 'justice'.

You might say I'm being too harsh, and Trump is being reserved, fair, and balanced since his executions are mostly in international waters.

For total dictatorship, the right is moving faster than they should for sustainability. This is a weakness for fascist strategy.
