I’m talking about authoritarianism in general. It doesn’t have to be specifically of a Nazi stripe.

I used the German 1933 election as an example of an instance where millions of people failed to use their critical thinking skills.

I’m not equating Trumpism with Nazism— though some of his supporters are neo-Nazis.

And don’t assume I’m a leftist—because I am not one. I’m a registered Independent.

Elizabeth Cheney is too conservative for me—but at least she has critical thinking skills. She realizes the fulsome character of the moral decay of Trumpism.

I have nothing against some conservatives. I wouldn’t have batted an eye if McCain became President. Trump was a total as*hole when he called him a coward. That’s one of many reasons why the military thinks he’s a douchebag.

Mmmhm

I prefer to read neutral news sources. Reuters is one of my favorites. I also read Fox News sometimes. I don't rely on CNN/MSNBC. In NYC, the Post is the conservative paper, and the Daily News is the liberal paper.

I wish we would come back to the times when journalism was relatively objective.

Then where are you getting all these horror story scenarios that never took place from?

Yeah yeah yeah.....people have been rolling their eyes at me since I was 6 years old.

I don't expect approbation at every turn. I expect that some people won't agree with me. It's the Nature of the Beast.

I just believe, if one would use one's common sense, that Trump shouldn't rule our nation. I didn't feel all that passionate about other conservatives who were President. At least they sought to rule within the Constitution, even if some of their ideas didn't jibe with mine.

Maybe Trump can go back to firing people on Apprentice, looking like a stupid a**hole.

I happen to believe in most aspects of "stand your ground."

I believe in defending one's home from burglars, say. But then suppose you shoot the wrong person?

I'm talking more about the potential for disaster should Trump do something like----get rid of SSI. If Trump had a choice, he would get rid of most "entitlement programs." Leaving people on "benefits" totally in the lurch. People who are on "benefits" for a good reason, most of the time. Sure, you have some slackers----but most, if they had their druthers, would not be on "benefits."

I've been doing all right for a long time. I was smart enough to get a civil service job when I was 19.

Trump is only for people who he feels are high up on the totem pole. And only people who say "yes" to him at every turn.

He's put some very faithful people (to him) under the bus.

What did he actually do to put us at risk? There's a dividing line between scary bedtime stories told by left-wing media, and the reality of what actually did and did not take place during the Trump presidency.

What Trump would do is cut off SSI/SSDI and welfare to scamers and illegal aliens.

You should’ve been here in 2016, months BEFORE the election. It was a butthurt extravaganza over Trump.

It sounds like you along with many have been taught to hate him without any specific reason. I don't think I've ever heard a hater mention any actual atrocities. Other than separating children from incarcerated adults.

I witnessed that elsewhere. Made me want to vote for him.

It’s been talked about ad nauseam. Maybe consider reading through older posts. It gets redundant saying the same thing over and over again and for people to refuse to listen or even deny over and over again.

It’s a waste of time, just like this thread at this point.

I wish one of you Trump admirers would actually work for him.

See how much you love him after working for him for a few months----if he allows you to stay working for him for that long.

He's a "what have you done for me lately?" type. If you're not useful to him, even if you agree with him 100%, out you go.

There you go again with programmed rhetoric. Just because I know he didn't commit any evil monster atrocities, and don't hate him with a passion, doesn't mean I admire him. If I worked security for Trump Co, I doubt I'd be any more affected by him than my current CEO. Which is zero.

Trump is not a person I would trust near the Nuclear Button....that's the bottom line.

I wouldn't really care if some moderate conservative became President. Not that Trump is a conservative----but you know what I mean...

I worry more about Biden when it comes to initiating a nuclear holocaust, since he's been a war monger his entire career. Trump didn't start a new war during his four years, but of course didn't live up to his campaign promise of ending them either.

Biden is more even-tempered, more the type to listen to common sense.

I'm not exactly a great fan of his---I didn't like him 30 years ago during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. But he would have had enough sense to guard the Capitol enough so that protestors wouldn't be able to get within a block of it.

Trump wanted to be with his buddies protesting near, and then in, the Capitol Building. He got furious with the Secret Service people who wanted to drive him back to the White House.

It was the marauders in the Capitol Building whom he "loved," and whom he thought were "special." What sane human being would think people ransacking the Capitol Building, the seat of our Government, should be "loved" and considered "special"? Most Presidents would have wanted to throw the lot in prison, and throw away the key.

Inside informant tipped off investigators about more documents at Mar-a-Lago.

The FBI search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence on Monday was prompted by a tip to investigators about the possibility of additional classified documents at the Palm Beach club.

Read the Full Story HERE , HERE , and HERE .

It looks like Mar-A-Lago has a mole infestation.
