      You posted it, yes it was parody, but apparently you took it seriously when you posted. What other ridiculous reason would you have as a devoted groupie of Trump?

              No the performance, honesty, honor and integrity makes the President legit. Nixon was dully elected, but not legit.

What is preventing a Hitler from rising on your grievances in these circumstances is our system of checks and balances, perhaps Trump not having the same goals or nature of Hitler. But as far as what it would take to stop a Hitler in terms of the population refusing to go along with immoral activity or abusive or racist behavior even if they are promised some short term gain, you all are behaving exactly as would be required. You simply will not stand against Trump when he does bad things for fear you will give the Dems or MSM some ground. He knows that because of that, he can do almost anything and he will not lose you. You prove it day after day. Your hatred of the Dems and the MSM are allowing him to be whatever he wants to be, to take this country wherever he wants to take it, no matter how low he goes, you are all right there with him.

                I just hope that there is a limit to how far you will follow him.

                Do you have any idea how many posts you've made in this thread alone telling us how horrible we are? If you don't like it being done to you, STOP DOING IT TO OTHERS.

                People of good conscience can disagree about important matters. Show me where I'm wrong and I'll consider it. Tell me I'm immoral for merely disagreeing with you and I'm not going to bother.

                This is not rocket science. We get you hate Trump - but that does NOT morally obligate anyone else to regard the President the same way you do.

                  Yes, biased far right conservative Judges loyal to Trump, not the Constitution, is what you want, and is what you are getting. But be careful what you wish for. Trump is appointing loyalist sycophants, like Atty Gen Barr in the top positions throughout government and literally destroying democratic institutions along the way. That's the road to a dictatorship which is exactly Trumps planned goal. You might like scoring points, but if he pulls it off, wins his game, you ain't gonna like it so much anymore. Open your eyes, don't be a dupe!

                    Id suggest you go back and reread my posts teal. You do not know what you are talking about.

                    As for showing you where you are wrong, given that pointing out things Trump did were wrong has resulted in oage after page of fury, i wouldnt dare actually accuse YOU of doing sonething wrong.


                    BTW, can you even point to something specific I said to YOU about YOU doing something wrong?

                    Youve pontificated a good bit here using broad generalities. Care to be specific?

                    My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                    If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                    This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

ThatÂ’s why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80 percent, and thatÂ’s why weÂ’re going to keep focusing on threats to our security."

                      They declared it racist because Trump.
                      Yeah, except immigration policy alone is not why Trump is seen by many as a racist. You're citing of cherry picked links is simply doing what is called "confirmation bias". Trump has a history of racism. He refused to rent his properties to black people, he took out a full page ad advocating for the death penalty of 5 black kids who turned out to be innocent of the crime, never apologised, led the birtherism campaign against Obama, demeaned a Judge because of his mexican heritage, refused to condemn David Duke, the white supremecists in Charletsville, banned all Muslims from coming here, and of course he labels the immigrants coming here as the bad ones, "they send us their criminals, their felons and drug dealers etc etc. His actual immigration policy on the southern border isn't necessarily racist in and of itself, it's just inhumane.

                      But the current racism charge is about his history, and his attack on the 4 Congresswomen of color, not his immigration policy. Love it or leave it to Trump means 'don't question or criticize my policy because if you don't like it then just shut up and get out. You don't belong here anyway. Classic dictatorial mindset. It's actually Trump who doesn't love this country, or democracy in general, and he is going to do whatever he can to destroy it. He's gone a long way thus far in doing just that, and you are aiding and abetting him in the attempt.

                        Say what now?

                        I'd say mild disagreement at worst... unless "page after page of fury" is referring to your own contributions to the thread (and Tass, Jimmy, and shiny).

                        Seriously, Jim, your paranoid delusions are not reality.

                            Except that there are term limits. Trump is just another parenthesis in American history. Eventually that parenthesis closes. That'll be by next election, or more like five years from now.

                              I rather think Trump's presidency is going to remembered as a giant exclamation mark.

                                He's not gone to a major war in his presidency. I'll count that as a big plus.

                                And hey even Nixon's presidency doesn't look as bad now that a generation of historians can look back on it dispassionately.
