Trump, Mao have a lot in common

| August 20, 2024 1:00 AM

There is very little difference between Mao's Chinese Communist Cultural Revolution (1966 to 1976) and Trump's MAGA movement. In fact, the MAGA crowd would have fit nicely into Mao's Cultural Revolution.

Both were/are driven by hate. Both had/have a fear of science and education. Both ban(ned) books. Both were/are cults of personality (Mao/Trump), and against: multiculturalism, diversity and outsiders/immigrants. Both encouraged/incite(d) violence against those who don’t believe and do as they do. Both are homophobic, sexist and racist.

Yes indeed, Mao and Trump would have had an epic bromance.
