Ruth Ben-Ghiat: Trump Has Been ‘Extremely Successful in Marketing Dictatorship to People’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BEN-GHIAT: "It tells us that he has been extremely successful in marketing dictatorship to people, marketing violence as something positive but marketing people who fought in January 6th as heroes. They even have their own sacred ham. He has also marketed foreign dictators to us as movie stars like Xi Jinping and this is going on hundreds of times and so his conditioning Americans. He is a marketer and a propagandist. He has conditioned Americans to see authoritarian leaders as superior and also democracy is failing, democracy is anarchic, corrupt, elections as corrupt as they happen in a democracy. So, all of this is a great work of emotional and psychological conditioning of Americans and it is paying off right now."
