In "The Plot Against America," the novelist Philip Roth imagines an alternative history at the dawn of World War II. Charles A. Lindbergh, aviator hero and crypto-fascist, defeats Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940. Rather than go to war against Nazi Germany, he foments an atmosphere of hatred directed at Jews in the United States.....
But over the last three months, in listening to plans of the Republican presidential front-runner and the views of his increasingly thuggish followers, I'm starting to have some dark fears should Donald Trump become president.
Take him at his word - albeit, a worthless thing given his propensity for telling outright lies and not backing down when called on them - Donald Trump's reign would be a police state....

Oh, I see what he did, he has them confused with
Blacklivesmatter and leftist polithugs.
Got it.
The Hillary supporters sure get wound up when they think someone is being less than honest, huh?
These hit pieces against Trump remind me of the fear mongering during Reagan’s 1980 campaign.
Yep.
Concern Troll is concerned......
They said Reagan was going to start WW3
And Goldwater in 1964.
I think a Trump “police state” would be a hell of a lot more “kinder and gentler” than Obama’s police state has been. Obama’s pounding white Americans 24 hours a day, 365 days a years has become very old and tiresome. I’m sick of hearing it. I don’t need a Kenyan buttboy telling me “that’s not who we are” all the time.
When Trump's President AND the House and Senate are controlled by Republicans all the New York Times 'so-called sources' will become worthless. Who cares what the party 'outside the loop' knows?
No one!
Trump's people won't deal with the New York Times or any of the feminized hysterical 'news' outlets... This means people like Timothy Egan (extreme liberal members of the press) will be downsized out of their jobs... and replaced by some of the moderate members of the press who lost their jobs years ago.
The days of left wing hysteria are over.
So I’m thuggish, eh ?
And he is scared what would happen to this country if we had a President who ignores the Constitution. Can he really be that delusional?
groupthink is ugly
Donald Trumpâs Police State
And just do we have now? Police every where because we have to live under constant threat form that Muslim mutts’ buddies threatening every day.
Police state hell yeah. Registration, electronic surveillance and removing mosques that talk violence. We do not need muzzies here. send them back to their sandbox.
NEWSFLASH: We already live in a police state. Between the NSA, CIA, FBI, DoJ, DHS, IRS and the militarization of municipal police departments it should be crystal clear.
OMG..... if trump is elected president, what if Rudy is reelected mayor?
what will we do? what willlll we do?
As soon I saw Philip Roth mentioned, I thought “Aw...is Portnoy complaining again?”
That “author” is a perverted freak and *nothing* he has to say is worth hearing.
