America's Hitler.

Hitler is a personal comparison and is arguably apt. Fascist and dictator are both words used to describe a particular political paradigm. "Not having to vote next time" are fairly unequivocal words. We all know what that means. "Only dictator for a day" is slightly less unequivocal because coming from a man who has lied countless times a day for his entire political career we could just drop for a day as meaningless. That leaves dictator. I'm not getting why it's not fine. And I'll tell you why. Notice that there's no physical threat implied by those words? Yeah, me too.

Take what your enemy says (and now all conservatives, especially Trump supporters and Trump himself are the "enemies of 'our' democracy"), edit it out of context, publish it on a main-stream news source, and then have "Fact Checker" refer to the out of context statement as "Fact Checked" because they come from a "Trusted News Source" and then feed it to the Associated Press and other main-stream news aggregators. 

This read better than fiction.  You can't make this stuff up. 

 

What you say is the truth .   Read how many commenters can not even figure that out and you basically have a good idea of the intellect (lack of) lurking in this group.

The problem is that the far right can't ever just come out and elucidate what they mean in clear, concise (explained!) terms. They have to use weasel words and obfuscate the message to the maximum extent possible. Trump has it down to a fine art. Often he can't finish a thought or a sentence. He rarely makes a point. Yet his sycophants cover for him, calling this word salad "weaving a message". I guess it gels with the evangelicals.  Republicans communicate by innuendo and dog whistles. When their target digests this whatever you want to call it, they break it down to logical parts and reassemble it into English so they can understand it. When they do this, republicans call it taking the words out of context. Getting caught saying the secret part out loud is their greatest fear. 

 

If, perchance, a manifesto gets leaked somehow (think project 2025) they run and duck for cover and deny they have ever seen it.

Yet he did indeed complete his thought, something strangely overlooked by those following a narrative.  The second sentence can be pointed out to them multiple times, but they continue to peddle their quote mined jewels.

 

"You know they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying 'oh gee, let's send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy."

I'm not talking about the Liz Cheney quote, but rather the consequences.

 

In the late stages of a political campaign, if you are explaining, you are losing. And Trump has spent 2 days explaining.

 

It's so bad that Trump had to pull a stunt that will change the subject, but cost him votes on Tuesday.

If what you believe is true... then explain why Biden is not behind bars right now for telling people at his rally to put the crosshairs on Trump and then 2 days later he is almost assasinated. Surely, that should have laid charges for inciting someone to shoot Trump. And then someone did try... twice.

The left does not give a rat’s about Liz Cheney. 

 

She’s under the bus the moment the polls close.

And yet another hoax is born. 

 

The genuine American left regard the Cheney family as rancid scum, the Devil incarnate. 

 

They are not falling for this drivel. They agree with Trump, how fast would Cheney be to declare war if she was on the front line? And this was the received wisdom on the Left for decades. 

 

Liz Cheney is a neocon, she is her father in drag. The neocons detest Trump as they love nothing better than forever wars. They feel they can impose America's will on the world and fear anyone growing strong enough to challenge.

 

That's the primary reason why the US military budget is wild compared to other countries, and the primary reason why its regarded as virtually traitorous to suggest reducing the budget. 

 

In this, I also blame Trump, as he also fell for the "boast about increasing military spending" blunder. 

 

The USA does not need a near Trillion dollars per year military spend. The country effectively cannot be invaded, and there's no appetite for overseas intervention after the Iraq War etc. More to the point, drone warfare is the next frontier. Soldiers will be replaced by targeted AI flying thousands of small impact explosive drones onto grid targets.

They're going to have to cut the head off the snake to unite the country again. I'm not referring to Trump, he's just the useful idiot. Uniting the country will involve putting the white supremacist bogeyman back in the bag and removing the religious activists from the SC. Also knock the nat-C attempted takeover of government on the head. It's gonna take time. If I could do one thing it would be to overturn the citizens united decision.

Cut the head off, sounds like you’re advocating violence. 

 

So you only want leftist activists on the court? That makes sense. 

 

I think it hilarious that all the leftists like Harris pretend to be Christians to get elected, don’t you?

1. I'm not a politician.

 

2, I didn't name or imply any person.

 

3. It's an allusion to a mythological multi headed snake.

 

4. I want anybody on the court who is not part of a a corrupt organized cabal installed to advance c-nat policies and protect the oligarchs from the great unwashed.

 

5. I have no clue how religious Harris is but I can tell you how religious Trump is.

Well, you're pretty safe. There aren't any genuinely marxist countries in the world these days. Never will be again either. Dems are capitalists despite what you'd like to believe. I think socialism is the word you are groping for. If it really is marxist it's time to put the pitchfork back in the barn.
