I would say it’s tiresome, but really, it’s mostly just funny to watch the same hysterics every few years.

Reagan, the Bushs, Romney and McCain all had integrity. Trump has shown the world that he has zero integrity. The hysteria surrounding Trump's 2nd term may be overdone but hysteria is what you get when the leader of the free world has zero integrity.

Then maybe the “Free World” needs a new leader. Who said it had to be the U.S.? Who said that Congress was the only way to check people?

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But [b]when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security[/b

We've owned the title "leader of the free world" since we sacrificed thousands of 17 to 20 year old brave souls along with many others to storm beaches in France and islands in the Pacific to rescue the world from tyranny and destruction. Never forget. You're spitting on graves of those brave souls when you disrespect out standing in the world.

Never forget.

PP is not the one spitting. DJT is.

PP questioned our role as leader of the free world. That role wasn't assigned; it was earned during a brutal world conflict and our sorry, selfish and spoiled arses continue to take the sacrifices of that generation for granted.

We don’t get to stand on the 60-year achievements of grandfathers in perpetuity. We must continue to earn the role.

So please, please, please try using other historical analogies now and then. Its really tedious.

Oh, are you bored by fascism references?

The problem with that is MAGA doesn’t recognize any of those names. And there’s nothing inaccurate about the parallels to Hitler in the 1930s. Of course, MAGA doesn’t know about that either which is why they still don’t get it. And also, many of them are fine with fascism.

You’re insufferable to complain about this. And you’ve bought into the propaganda of holding liberals to a ridiculous standard of perfection.

DP. I think it depends what your goal is. If you want people to appreciate the point you are making, then you have to meet their understanding where it is and also recognize that throwing Hitler/Nazi makes some people stop listening. So many people on this board claim to be lawyers, litigators no less, surely those folks know that there are ways to be persuasion but loaded analogies aren’t one of them.

And, you an idiot because Trump is about as close to Hitler as this country has ever seen. He wants to murder everyone who doesn't worship him.

What?!? He wants to murder people who don't agree with him?
This is by far the most unhinged shIt I have ever read on this site. You are literally hysterical.

What do you think Trump intends by pulling Bolton and now Fauci’s security?

Omg his “speech” in NC is terrible. He reads like a child. I cannot believe people like this charlatan.

I don’t think it will get that crazy, but I do think there is genuine concern for democratic back sliding due to the attacks on the press and low checks and balances. Trump is mostly on money making revenge tour. Even if we were losing democracy, we are already kind of at the point where it’s too late.

It's been 3 1/2 days. It is already crazy.

My guess is 30 days.
He’s trying to accomplish a Nazi state faster than Hitler did it.

I don't think anyone in this thread is saying that Trump wants to kill masses. But Hitler started with dismantling democracy, and Trump has made it very clear that he wants to do that. For Trump it's to make money, but he will die soon and who will seize power next? What will their goals be?

And that guy is under FBI investigation for fraud. This is him greasing Trump’s palm to drop the case.

People, stop voting for criminals.

Do you know about people and businesses being "debanked" by Bank Of America and other banks because the Biden administration didn't like what they did?

Look it up. Please tell us about dismantling democracy!

Everything you democrats accuse Trump of doing is what democrats actually did in the past four years.

You give them far too much credit. Most of us have spelled out the stages of fascism and even suggested books and documentaries. They. Don’t. Want. To. Learn. They think they know everything. And….some of them ARE fascists. Also, some of them are trolling.

I mean this kindly and with good intention. You are down a rabbit hole of bad sources and garbage information. Get off X and You Tube. Free yourself from the cult like MAGA Granny did.

I reinforce the sentence above, Trump is the modern Hitler version. He is the devil in person, terrorizing millions of people right now.

For anyone who doesn’t understand the Hitler reference because they think he’s “only” about gas chambers, please read How Fascism Works and How Democracies Die.
