Trumpy wants Americans to live in the Stone Age before the invention of modern medicine, before electric vehicles

Trumpy wants Americans to live in the Stone Age before the invention of modern medicine, before electric vehicles, and before indoor plumbing. He is serious about putting black and brown peoples in their place. He would like to reinvent gas guzzlers, and revive coal mines. He supports White Supremacists in their efforts to reinstitute segregation (South African farmers). He dreams of an America that was little and backwards.

Ushering in the modern era.

Trump is taking us way back before the 19th century.

that authoritarians love so much. 99% struggling with meager resources to survive day to day. And 1% with every possible luxury given to them "because they deserve it".
