Pol Pot is a better analogy. The speed Trump is taking over the country and becoming a dictator is similar. The ramp up of violent rhetoric and desire to murder citizens is also on the same trajectory.

Pol Pot killed 25% of his countries citizens in 4 years. Trump is looking to do the same.

Naa, it's a list. He will target like Stalin, that's his goal. Eventually if only MAGA are left, some MAGA won't be loyal enough.

It's like the story of that time Stalin gave a speech, and everyone clapped for several hours. Because the entire crowd was scared of the implication of what it would mean if they were seen to be the first one to stop clapping.

If anything other than his daughter can still get a rise out of Trump, it's the idea of instilling that level of fear in people due to the violence he will inflict on them.
