When the Soviets took over Russia in the early 1900s, people who were once elegant were now discussing agriculture products in bulk, commodities, forced to adopt peasant values; today the smartest people are yammering about diesel and urea and soybean crops, where we once had loftier ideas. I've always felt that what Trump is doing is much more like Joseph Stalin than anyone else in history, but I think Trump studied many dictators to get to this place. The intimidation I feel reminds me of stories about the Soviet Union, especially at its beginning.
