Weird Wednesday: You Can’t Make this S#!t Up…
The truth may be stranger than fiction.
A dictator seizes power by convincing the populous he will look out for the downtrodden and middle class. He then stacks his political deck with rich powerful friends, releases criminals from prisons, manipulates the stock market, fires anyone he doesn’t like, nominates a wrestler’s wife to control an education system he prepares to dismantle, declares economic war with long trusted allies, shuts off the humanitarian aid to countries that rely on it for survival, sets out to take control of sovereign nations, and then proposes to relocate refugees from their war torn homes, paving the way to rebuild their land to create a tourist destination.
Sounds like a good dystopian novel.
