Stalin, Hitler and Trump walked into a country ...

#Stalin: Article 58 of the #Soviet penal code defined anyone who #criticized the government as "counter-revolutionary" and allowed them to be #imprisoned or #executed.

#Hitler: The #Malicious Practices Act of 1933 made it #illegal to #criticize the administration and to put #dissenters into internment (concentration) camps. Later they would be #executed.

#Trump: Presidential Order #NSPM-7 redefines #dissent as #terrorism and authorizes the state to treat opponents as enemies.

See the similarities?
