So your essential point is that Trump is going to usher in Soviet style communism?

The symptomatic behavior observable in the historical record of "National Populism", and human nature, is the essential point.

De Tocqueville called it the "Tyranny of the Majority" when he saw it in the French Revolution.

That was the flaw in Jefferson's "CODE FOR MORALITY", which was rooted in the delusion of enlightenment thinking.

Evidently Jefferson didn't pay enough attention to Romans 1:22 --

Rom 1:22
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
NIV

And here we are again...

For another perspective - see C.S. Lewis’ essay:

“The poison of Subjectivism”

Donald Trump’s “Populism” is symptomatic of that.
