Not just American.

 

I still blame newt Gingrich and the politicization of the Evangelistic movement of the 90s and 2000s in the us and Canada for the erosion of and the open acceptance of social policy over common sense in the conservative brand.

 

Really, it goes back to The Moral Majority in the 70's and 80's

The victimhood complex is real. 

 

I also like how he can ignore all the hateful crap trump has spewed.

 

This must make Putin very happy, when people are this polarized.


I wonder if Canadians were allowed to vote in the U.S elections, what percentage of people would vote for him.

You’d prefer socialism over democracy?

 

Never heard of social democracy?  Strange because you almost surely live in one.  Socialism is almost always democratic

 

We're you referring to my post about the National Socialist Party?

You post intrigued me so I looked it up.   You exaggerate.   He was not called Hitler, or a Nazi, or a fascist.   They pointed out some similarities in terms used in speeches by both Trump and Hitler.

 

How Trump’s rhetoric compares with Hitler’s

Where is it written with EI, Welfare, Healthcare we give up our right to vote? Many democracies have subsidized Healthcare.

Don't paint socialism as communism. We also still have a free market economy. Funny people attack policies like Healthcare, but don't say a thing when governments help bail out banks, and big business, which is a form of corporate welfare.

Please post anything close to this that trump has said. A bullseye, claiming someone is hitler….. fucken hitler !! Wow. I bet if they had ever heard of Joseph Stalin he’d be portrayed as him also. Disgusting.

From calling all prisoners or war and dead soliders "losers and suckers" to " there are good people on both sides " to literally every comment he makes about everything he hates ..... 

 

Trump isn't Jesus I'm sorry to be the one to tell you 

 

Anyone believing he isn't saying worse is not living in reality 

 

When people jumped on his comments they absolutely attack them as being woke

 

It's fair game to compare political styles but never to Hitler ...... 

 

But seriously ..... Trump did NOT deserve to be shot ... Full stop 

 

But this holier than thou nonsense over Trump is ridiculous..... Trumps go to is attacking 

 

Jan 6 called .....

Who's advocating for full socialism?  And what does that have to do with the topic?

There wont be a civil war.

 

I asked last night what it might look like and nobody could tell me. 

 

People just like to say civil war but imo the truth is that most in the USA have it too comfy. They arn't going to put their life on the line. They would rather battle on the internet, eat some fast food, and watch WWE. Life is still far too good for the idea of a real civil war happening.

 

At most I think a few skirmishes at protests and a few more shootings. Sorta par for the course but with a bit more spice for a while. 

 

But Trump has this in the bag now, no doubt. Best thing that could happen for him. 

In a lot of ways the 'skirmishes at the rallies' are exactly a Live Action Role Play of the off topic forums here: folks will scream at each other and push a bit, but at the end of the day, it is just a few outliers taking things way too far with far too much free time on their hands.

IMO; If Canadians were allowed to vote in the US election, Biden would win in a landslide.

You could justify this. Just the mention of said monster  relating speeches inaccurately will draw pictures in people’s minds of both hitler and trump in like minds. Did you see the imagery? Not unintentional.

Still smells fishy to me.

 

Like you’re telling me that they wouldn’t have police/secret service guarding buildings with clear sight lines to where Trump was speaking?

 

With security measures taken today I just don’t believe this was an oversight unless it was allowed to happen.

 

All you have to do is look back to the JFK assassination to see the measures that country will go to in order to make sure certain people aren’t in power. Only this time they didn’t have a second shooter to make sure they hit him.

 

I agree, hence my Reichstag fire comment earlier.  That said, it's sounding mord and more like it was a young, disgruntled kid with an ar-15 looking for posthumous fame in his suicide by cop scenario

Oh no

 

Sadly they're already claiming this is his trial.  His walk on water moment.  His resurrection.

 

Good moved that bullet because he's here as salvation personified.

 

Wish I was kidding but.

 

You know
