  2. It wasn't even that long ago that El Salvador was in a dictatorship. Still, hoping the Salvadorians will get out on the streets of San Salvador and overthrow him like the South Koreans did Yoon.

  3. He did rescue El Salvador (with some innocent people being caught up, that's another discussion) but let's not forget that this is a dictatorship. The problem with dictatorship is always the human part of having too much power and no one to stop it from going off rails. Trump has been eyeballing ->

  4. Trump in 3....2...1..... and don't say it can't galen here. America isn't "taking" it has fallen and will stay down because people can't even not eat at chick fil a or not buy from Amazon and Wal Mart. They damn sure aren't stopping fascism.

  5. His party approved the changes, not the people of El Salvador. Could it happen here? Yes. Unconstitutional no longer means anything in this country.

  6. This is precisely what we can expect from Republicans in the United States. Their allegiance is to a man rather than their country. #FuckTheseIdiots

  7. I used to believe the same couldn’t happen here, grateful to live in a country where so many past generations proudly fought for freedom. Everyday something happens in D.C. to chip away at our democracy.
