I like to think most Republicans in congress and the senate would realize they'd risk being lynched in the street if they supported Trump's heartless plan to end social security. Then again, maybe I'm seeing too much common sense and humanity in the American right.

republicans act totally invulnerable because they feel they have all the cops on their side, they are drunk with power now.

I am scared of the situation we are in and he is an important part of that.

i have fears of a malevolent right-wing minority of the population totally disenfranchising the majority who are not wealthy, gifted and well-connected like they are. i don't want to be homeless again. i don't want to be totally priced-out of any health care. i don't want to be enslaved or press-ganged by wealthy megalomaniacs.

But heaven forbid we get in the way of our true saviors, the dear ole' criminal neoconservative gangs!

Like Hillary and Obama? You need to check the defintions of both word, and their policies, to know I'm correct.

Neoliberalism and Neoconservatism are not polar opposites of each other, in fact they are both more "conservative" than not. I usually see Neconservatism used as a epithet to describe Democratic politicians for whom Third-Party leftists refuse to vote. Neoliberalism is basically free-market capitalism but the term is used to belittle self-proclaimed liberals when accusing them of not understanding the "real" i.e. archaic meaning of the term "Liberalism".

The difference between neoliberalism and neoconservatism is the hyper-miltarism that the latter embraces.

In the late 90s, there was a document that was composed by a conservative think-tank entitled, The Project For The New American Century. It laid out the plans for expanding our hegemony in the Middle East with continual regime-change wars. That has certainly come to pass, and Obama was the most ardent supporter of this doctrine, taking us from two to seven wars. The creepiest part of that document was how we could use a major attack on U.S soil to further that goal.

Only Obama's enemies (on both Left and Right) try to label him as a Neocon. Don't forget the Libya thing had a lot of popular support at the time, not unlike the Gulf War (which I believe was the first big mistake of the post-Cold War era). But don't forget Obama took a lot of criticism for NOT sending troops into Syria and don't forget Zero Dark Thirty in which Obama is seen dragging his feet with regard to the Bin Laden assassination. If he was a Neocon then he was a piss-poor excuse for one.

I find him beneath contempt, like something I would scrape off the heal of my shoe.

Before or after he has been chewed up and digested by the dog?

When I think of it, I'm much more scared of various society phenomenons that put him in the place he's now.

No, I like him . He is no threat to me. He doesn't have a lot of tact, but I find it funny. We agree on most political issues.

^^^I’ll bet that went down a treat! :lol: The “Rootin’ Tootin’ Putin” isn’t half bad either!

Trump did write some beautiful poetry (my family are into joke gifts ... )

“Everybody Loves Me” (One of his 2016 tweets)

Tom Brady Loves Me
The people of New York, they love me
Upstate New York, I’m like the most popular person that’s ever lived
The bikers love me
You know who loves me? The Tea Party, the evangelicals
My children could not love me more if I spent fifteen times more time with them
The vets love me
The African Americans love me
The Asians love me
Many Hispanics love me
Most conservatives love me
Society loves me
You are going to love me
Or I will spill the beans on your wife!

And some of his classic poetry ...

“My two favorite words”

You’re fired
You’re fired
You are hereby terminated
