The stories about the recent deaths of child laborers brought everything into focus. Seeing the blades on floating barriers that killed immigrants in the last few weeks reinforced the lesson. Since 2015, the Republican Party has committed fully to becoming the deepest perversion of its origins – it has become the New Slavocracy.

Rudolph Giuliani celebrated the 2016 election by describing Donald Trump as a modern day Andrew Jackson. In his transformation of American politics and the world, Trump is much more the summation of several leaders, including John Calhoun, James Hammond, and George Fitzhugh. Calhoun championed the systems of enslavement as a ‘positive good.’ Hammond created sprawling plantations that defined the illusory luxury of ‘King Cotton.’ Fitzhugh damned Africans as ‘cannibals all.’

Trump and his family corrupted the Republican Party built by Abraham Lincoln’s life and memory. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan started the process based on their frustrations with the success of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. Instead, they turned to Jerry Falwell, Rush Limbaugh, Trent Lott, and Mitch McConnell, dismissing Dwight Eisenhower, George Romney, Sandra Day O’Connor, and Colin Powell. Today, Trump and his cronies throughout society have enslaved conservatives nationwide – accomplishing dreams that Jefferson Davis never dared to imagine.

He tells them what to think.

He tells them what to say.

He takes every dollar they have saved.

Trump has enslaved American conservatives.

No slavocrat has ever enjoyed greater control over his human property.

When the book “American Economy” came out in 2015, it taught that the structures of the slavocracy shaped the private and public sector institutions of the emerging industrial world. Dozens of new projects have confirmed the details of this premise. As the global society adapts to artificial intelligence and confronts the remnants of Russian and Chinese autocracy, this new slavocracy works to shatter Lincoln’s view of the American Constitution. It hopes to use billionaires’ algorithms to enslave billions of people in this century.

They have already seen its success with nearly 200 million conservatives in the United States and Europe.
