Trump Is an Ideological Authoritarian

[SpaceCoastVol]

Lying is the new norm for Trump supporters and the GOP in general. It's unfortunate that you would sell your dignity and self-respect so easily.

"If you like your doctor....."

Some of us have been posting about this since Trump was elected, and have been laughed at for pointing it out. Check the Trump and Authoritarianism thread. Trump is far more dangerous than people think. And it isn't just Trump. "He isn't hurting the right people" comes to mind.

Anyone in power is dangerous, that’s why we have a system of checks and balances. The framers were brilliant men.

As brilliant as they were, I don't think they were able to anticipate this **** storm we are in currently.

We’re not in a “**** storm”.

I like your optimism hog. If you think this isn't a shitstorm then I don't know what to call it.

Anything the Left says is exactly the opposite, but thanks for trying jerk!

Unfortunately, Trump is the only thing protecting America from the socialist left and destruction of the rule of law and the Constitution.
Demons must be destroyed and sent back to where they came from, no other way!

You didn't call me a filthy bastard this time. I was looking forward to that part.

It's called a hissy fit, and you folks have been pitching one for 2-1/2 years. That is what I call it.

I'm still waiting on the end of the Hillary and Obama hissy fit to stop. You guys are pushing over 20 years on one, ten years on the other.

The Civil War was a **** storm, this is just heightened political discourse.

Well, hard to argue with that. We aren't at Civil War level yet, obviously. Still a cf. Getting to that point, some might say.

As long as there is television, cold beer and food at the grocery store there will not be another civil war.

Lying is has always been the new norm for Trump supporters and the GOP politicians in general. It's unfortunate that you would sell your dignity and self-respect so easily.

FIFY

A lot of anti-Trumpers choose, I think intentionally, to feign naivete about how politicians behave. They act like Trump is the only politician who has ever lied, and so every time he lies it's this gigantic deal that's never happened before.

You underestimate the far, theocratic right. As long as they are running around, nothing is safe.

You really do suck at this.

Right! Actor Jeffrey Wright, who played Bernard Lowe on Westworld, was just quoted as saying "it's all about power, and we get the power back from the Republicans, everybody else better f*****g duck." Typical of the tolerant left. We can't underestimate how violent and full of rage and revenge that they will be. Arm yourselves.

Yeah, I think in their eyes an Obama presidency could never have existed and really accelerated this sh!tstorm. They never met the wimpy but fascist liberals either. Today would be a big education for them ... a lot to be proud of because freedom had a good run, but a lot of real doubt over the likelihood that it will continue.

You forgot the supply of drugs to keep libs mellowed out or hyped up and generally killing each other.

Your post is the very definition of naivete. I'm amused when the best defense by supporters of President Snowflake is "everybody does it" so it's OK. Talk about abandoning your principles, dignity, and self-respect -you are Exhibit A. In fact, no politician has ever lied as much or as frequently as Trump - he's now well over 12,000 since he took office. He is a serial liar and an embarrassment to the office and a laughingstock to the rest of the world. When it's all said and done, he will be a punch line in the annals of US history.
