Two-thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, and nearly 70 percent rate the economy as “not good” or “poor.” Public trust in government has fallen by half, from 40 percent in 2000 to just 20 percent today.

I use the term cautiously, aware of its historical weight, but the hallmarks are too striking to ignore. First hallmark: Cult-like worship of Xi Jinping The first hallmark is the cult-like worship of Xi Jinping. State propaganda portrays Xi as the culmination of a holy trinity in Chinese history.
