Trump Tells GOP To Defend Him More Strongly

Post Reply New Topic

Have you ever stopped and thought about whether the trajectory your life took and the steps you took have anything to do with small government? you seem to link GOP fantasies about no taxes and small government with your struggles and I honestly don't see a connection?

Human beings need self-motivation to feel they are part of a bigger social movement where they feel they can contribute, one of the aspects that attracted me to marxist philosophy as a teenager was the idea that you could cognitively transcend the idea of parochialism based on class, race or creed and think of humanity as one social movement. The rise of this movement was timed to coincide with the historic rise in class and racial equality.

The spirit of socialism has never faded despite attempts by conservative/capitalist right to equate social/civil rights with authoritarian communism (something your leaders successfully managed to hoodwink the American public in the 1950s...the US population are a little brainwashed so take a bit longer than everyone else).

More importantly this global social movement is what will help the autistic community and their families. The time when stigma and ignorance over mental illness will start to vanish.

Trump could very likely be the permanent downfall of the GOP. Even W would never have done a hundredth of the things Trump has done.

I would like the U.S. to be a true multiparty democracy, but I worry that we are instead heading for a one-party system.

I would say we are headed towered a country defined by many socialist and SJW elements. Trumpism is a backlash against it that might be speeding this up but the main drivers are generational and technological. Even a lot of diehard Trumpists deep down realize this with their belief in an of all powerful “deep state”. “Owning the libs” is not optimistic or a platform, it is schadenfreude, a lesser version of a defeated army burning and destroying everything before they go down.

TRUMP is amazing because he gets stuff done.

Trump is like every other aspiring dictator who took advantage of his people's contempt for the same ol' phoney bologna politicians.

It's happened in countries just like Cuba, Chile, and El Salvador from what I understand.

So yeah, be careful what you wish for in a leader. It might just get you.

Why does TRUMP bother you so much?

Reductio ad Hitlerum is representative of a deeper reason.

I think the concern is that a big all powerful government will not be as benevolent as you are envisioning. That many aspects of life will fall under government regulation all in the guise of it being in the best interest and welfare of its citizens. That equality will end up meaning that most everyone is equally subordinate.
