Mussolini Dictatorship

Once they removed political opposition thanks to his secret police and the outlawing of labor strikes, Mussolini and his followers solidified their power through laws that was able to transform the nation into a one-party dictatorship. Within the time of five years, Mussolini had established his dictatorship by both legal and by extraordinary means. The United States have rules and regulations in place that wouldn’t allow this but they can be overturned by the will of the people vested in the hands of their representatives and ratified by the courts. As far as the representatives, they can be intimidated, just a few days ago one of Donald Trump’s former employees, suggested that a senator who had insulted president Trump should resign. And the judges on the courts are appointed by the presidents so the question remains, how independent can they be and are they too influenced by a powerful president.
Mussolini, as a former journalist, proved adept to exploiting all forms of media, including the new forms at that time: motion pictures and radio. Donald Trump has used his years as a reality television star to manage the media, get them to focus on what he wants them to focus on and shape his coverage. When he gets coverage that he does not like, it is fake news and the press is criticized. The strange this is that a sizable portion of the American public will believe anything he says, in fact he suggested before the election that he could shoot someone and not lose support, that is scary because that is the sort of influence that dictators thrive
