I'll give you a couple of those points but his foreign policy was beyond reproach. Yes, he pissed off Germany by warning them that getting its energy from Russia was dumb and doomed. But in hindsight, do you disagree? |
I love how the left can talk about widespread criminal justice reforms but when the right does it, it's authoritarian. Waiting for it to also become racist. |
Maybe because the right's idea of criminal justice reform is actually authoritarian? |
The right is concerned that politicians are using law enforcement illegitimately to take political prisoners. In other words, most Republicans think that the Biden Administration is currently doing exactly what the left says Trump will *potentially* do. You can't do the thing, and also claim the thing is authoritarian if other people do it. In any case, it appears that what Trump is actually saying is that he will prosecute people who do illegal things. That isn't authoritarian. |
No, he saying he is out to get anyone who isn't kneeling and bowing before him. You are such a hack. |
Those Republicans are not living in reality. Full stop. |
What you don’t think vowing to “exterminate the vermin,” and I forget what verbiage he used around his old military leaders who wouldn’t let him bomb everything and everyone he wanted to, are in line with democracy? Me neither. |
No, that poor soul isn’t informed on anything. Nothing in dossier has been disproven and Trump was just talking about golden showers again. Russian collusion was proven and Biden hasn’t laundered anything. Project 2025 is authoritarian and it’s the whole entire GOP. Time for sad people like the confused pp to wake up but they slam their garbage up and leave. They can’t talk about this stuff because it’s a series of beliefs they have to protect carefully. |
Oh they’re planning on rounding their opponents up if they win alright.
“Much of the planning for a second term has been unofficially outsourced to a partnership of right-wing think tanks in Washington. Dubbed “Project 2025,” the group is developing a plan, to include draft executive orders, that would deploy the military domestically under the Insurrection Act, according to a person involved in those conversations and internal communications reviewed by The Washington Post. The law, last updated in 1871, authorizes the president to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement.” And making sure the DOJ is appropriately weaponized against anyone who doesn’t support the GOP: “But Trump allies such as Russ Vought, his former budget director who now leads the Center for Renewing America, are actively repudiating the modern tradition of a measure of independence for the Department of Justice, arguing that such independence is not based in law or the Constitution. Vought is in regular contact with Trump and would be expected to hold a major position in a second term.” And they’re happy to lie about it to assuage voters’ fears: “After online publication of this story, Rob Bluey, a Heritage spokesman, said: “There are no plans within Project 2025 related to the Insurrection Act or targeting political enemies.”” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/05/trump-revenge-second-term/ Meanwhile on another thread we have someone acting new about the GOP’s intention to lock people up. I mean the media isn’t giving this issue nearly the coverage it deserves. These Project 2025 quotes were buried deep in an article about Trump’s plans, rather than the GOP’s blueprint for literally any body they can get elected. The time to speak plainly about the GOP is here. |
The first people to be locked up will be Pence, Milley and all of the GOP who testified against Trump. |
And what do think public reaction will be if they do this? It's one thing to be a sociopath like Stephen (Goebbels) Miller or Jeffrey Craig, and another to be a member of Congress only interested in reelection. |
Yep. |
Have you read the outline of what all fifty GOP think tanks have planned for the country in Project 2025? You’re excused from reading the whole several hundred pages, but at least read the outlines. They’re planning on an executive order making almost all the non partisan government positions into partisan positions and firing everyone, then replacing them with extremist GOP (who have already signed up!). Tuberville’s refusal to approve military promotions is a two fold benefit for Republicans: they’re hoping that a weaker military will get attacked, giving the GOP a way to attack the Democrats as “weak on security” and that they can then fill all those leadership roles with party faithful who will put their allegiance to the party over their allegiance to their country. They are planning on using the Insurrection Act, emboldened by a military who will take orders on a partisan basis. So it doesn’t really matter what “public reaction” would be. Have your reaction now. Take the threat as seriously as it should be. |
If those members of Congress are signed up to run under the banner, they support it. |
This. Public reaction would be controlled by force. Read some history. |
