Fascism is throwing out illegal immigrants who are hardened gang members, killers, rapists, and child traffickers. Got it.
Michael Savage: "Liberalism is a very serious mental disorder."
My whole extended family were 1960s liberals. Help the blind, help the widow with 4 children, care for the mentally ill. Not free handouts for lazy stoners, would never condon allowing hard dangerous drugs like fentanyl and heroine into the country, let alone on a mass scale.
We have a rule of law in this country.
Trump and those who support him think that's inconvenient.
He doesn't decide who gets the death penalty or not.
This is all very disturbing rhetoric that is absolutely the same kind that Hitler used to demonize the Jews before killing them.
Trump is an authoritarian because as a CEO that got things done. That isn't, and shouldn't, be how the POTUS conducts himself.
It's terrifying that half of the country laps this up present company included.
We do have laws in this country. The "rule" part of it is pretty weakly enforced at the current time.
I am still undecided on Trump, but probably will vote for him, to slow down the other party's steady push to move our country farther and farther to the left, which will destroy our country. Think about it. The average length of the great empires in history is maybe 300 years, so we may have just precious years left. In any case, entering the country is against the law. Trump wants the law enforced. He wants those who broke the law removed from our country, until they can apply for legal entry. I don't think he thinks that law is inconvenient. Do you?
I don't think our rule of law is inconvenient. There are some laws which are archaic or otherwise unsuitable in modern times, and we need have our elected representatives go to their legislatures and have those laws changed or ended, if they can get the votes.
You are right. Trump does not get to decide who gets the death penalty (except in cases where POTUS uses executive pardon, I believe). Trump CALLED FOR THE DEATH PENALTY in the case of illegal immigrants committing murder. Trump knows he can not decide who gets the death penalty, and so do you. That would take an act of Congress to give a President that power. Trump did not ask for that authority. He merely called for the death penalty, and that means he wants Congress or States to decide on it.
Your statement that Trump's rhetoric is "ABSOLUTELY the same kind of rhetoric that Hitler used to demonize the Jews before killing them", is outrageous. Go ahead, give me some examples. I don't listen to all his speeches, so go ahead and cite this rhetoric you found. I think it is despicable to make such a statement as yours. Very ad hominem. That is more like something from CNN or MSNBC, or the alphabet channels, rather than from you.
Trump as a CEO of a big development company got things done. That is what developing is: construction. I've met dozens of contractors, and that is what they do. They get investors and banks, and designers, and government bureaucrats, and subcontractors, workers, and labor unions, to work together to build something, get things done. That is not an authoritarian in your sense of the word, painting him as some kind of Hitler wanting to obliterate a race of people.
A President is not supposed to conduct himself in a certain way. Where did you read that or hear it?
Campaign rhetoric, that is where. We elect a President to get things done. Or we should be doing that. We elected Biden and Harris, because they sounded good, and the media made Trump sound like a bad guy. Biden and Harris damn near destroyed the whole country, with all the things they got done. Inflation. Decriminalizing many felonies and misdemeanors. Defunding and discouraging police. Getting us involved in 2 wars, and pushing us to the brink of WWIII with Russia, Iran and China, and maybe more, all the while defunding our own military, so it can't fight all those wars. Eliminating our southern border was the worst thing so far. What country do you know of that has been able to survive without having borders? And we invited all the world to come on in, and we will pay for you to come. Especially the hundreds of devils on the known terrorist watch list. Thank you, Joe and Kamala.
Potus is not hired to be nice, or make nice. I don't give a damn how he conducts himself, whatever that means. He has to be a diplomat, and Trump did a fair job at that the last time we elected him. He kept Xi, Putin, the Rocket Man, and Iran all at bay for 4 years with NO WARS AT ALL. We hire him to get things done. But we need to pay attention to what the things are that he is proposing during the campaign to get elected. That is where we made a big mistake by hiring Biden. I hope we don't make another one. I'm not sure we can survive it.
And I'm surprised that half the country listens to our way left of center mainstream media, laps up their pablum, and regurgitates it for all to swoon over. There is a reason the Left took over the schools, and now they have full control of how we learn to think, from preschool to PhD level. Our freedoms are disappearing, and half of us don't even care, like lambs to the slaughter.
