observer from afar

Why not? Trump did. He compared it to a cold, denied it was anything serious and that a swig of bleach would sort it out?

As an observer from afar I've been able to witness just how despots get into power, control large numbers of people into believing any guff they spout and blind them to the consequences of those beliefs. I've been able to do so just by watching trump, the weakest excuse for a human being in my lifetime. Wake up you Muppets, the 'man' is using you for his own corrupt ends, he doesn't give a monkey's about a single one of you, he'd struggle to spell 'decency' and he will destroy your democracy, or what is left of it since he came on the political scene. Remember Nuremburg, following the orders of a lunatic is no defence.
