    So you believe living under the thumb of a corrupt dictator is better than continuing to be a flawed but still stable democracy with a democratic president with moderate policies with the check and balance of a GOP House, GOP Senate, and right wing judiciary??

    Tell me why that is better for me?? Make an actual case for corrupt autocracy instead of just telling me that Kamala is “bad” and only having things like her cackle or former sex life. Even if Kamala was in a coma and literally did nothing for 4 years I personally would prefer that over choosing a corrupt criminal dictator.

    So tell me why corrupt dictatorships are better than a balanced democratic government with GOP checks on that power???

    If people wonder what the term people use called gaslighting is all they have to do is read this post and they’ll catch the drift.

    You sure are one hell of a dedicated Trump activist I’ll give you that much…. But this one is pretty sloppy and lazy. And the effect of constantly telling people that they are silly for caring about something so obviously important to everyone who isn’t in the Trump cult is going to wear thin fast. If you were on your game a little better that you’d learn some skill in displaying some initial empathy to first bring people to another spot, then make a case for the point you are trying to make to better move people. Instead constantly gaslighting and pointing the finger back so quick is only going to hurt your position as an activist trying to manipulate people to an anti democratic position to help Trump.

    But maybe you are just getting old and sloppy. I dunno. But you used to be better at this game so maybe it’s time to hang up the jersey.

    Os would be like “you have to be impressed” and “unconventional style but effective” and “relatively similar to that of their predecessors” :D

    I forgot the Senate Parliamentarian disaster. uggh I think the Dems included the sainted Obama always have always been too concerned with pleasing the donor class who generally like low wages for the majority.

    The sooner you find out people's values, the sooner you can change their mind. Right now, people worship Trump like he is their god, and its really quite sad.

    Its hard to talk to someone who doesnt listen to facts.

    They are alike in the same way a psycho chops up people with a chainsaw and a surgeon cuts people using a scalpel.

    14 flags? Hard to see that as a coincidence. I can't believe we're being run into the ground by a bunch of Nazis.

    For those of you don't speak Nazi and White Supremacist, the number 14 is often referenced by these groups and refers to this 14 word mantra:

    "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

    14 is often combined with or used alongside 88. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet and 88 stands for Heil Hitler.

    Well yes in the beginning - but in most cases (different degrees of tyrants) the charade is dropped, the mask falls and it becomes “Because I want to - because I can.”

    Tyrants love destroying boundaries - social and geo politically.

    When a cult of personality and small group of people come into power and decide they will completely change the culture - it is bad news. Lenin, Hitler, Napolean, Pol Pot, Chairman Mao …… discredit and destroy the intellectuals, redefine what are facts and history ….. and off-we-go….

    Hearing someone strategizing and scheming on how to change my mind would put me off, make me defensive and untrusting.

    Gamification and competitiveness in politics strips the authenticity/genuineness of it

    Base your points on how you feel, not how you feel you can change my mind.

    maybe that’s loser talk, though, idk.

    Trump is VASTLY more organized, far better at propaganda and making alliances than the Democrats or the wrecked remains of true Republicans… Trump has won the cultural war. His support will ONLY falter if the economy really crashes over a period of time.

    At that point enough people would turn against him for him and his party to lose influence.

    Ever since Clinton, the Democrats have believed they need to be very concerned about the wealthy donors. They saw how successful it was for the Republicans under Reagan and the Bush Sr. Clinton and Obama both had strong ties and were popular and won.

    The problem is that NOTHING is static and Reagan was elected President nearly 50 years ago.

    The Democrat leadership hasn’t adapted at all. They replaced Clinton with Obama…. The Republicans would be the same, except Donald Trump has taken over the party and that has caused the Republicans to change.

    The Democrat leadership has such ironclad control over the nomination that anyone outside the box has no chance. Carter 50 years ago was the last one… and after McGovern and Carter and Humphrey- the Democrats exerted more control on the primaries believing it would help them win elections.
