Putin foe Garry Kasparov warns Americans are letting Trump turn the US into a Russia-like dictatorship
"Russian chess champion Garry Kasparov warned that the United States is dangerously allowing President Donald Trump turn the country into Russia. He should know — he lived through it. In a long Twitterstorm, Kasparov explained that he sees many of the same tactics Russia used being deployed by Trump. One example was Trump’s knack for “lying constantly while attacking targets for lying.” Another, he noted, is the “escalation of rhetoric to dictatorial extremes.” At the same time, Trump has pointed his fury toward American institutions like the electoral system, free press, separation of powers and even law enforcement. “If someone is attacking those institutions instead of strengthening them, it’s time to pick a side. Rule of law or by strongman?” he asked. “Rule of institutions or of tribe? The history of making the wrong choice here is clear"."
