Wait....here I go again, trying to explain why the sky is blue. Just eat your cookies, goosey.
Some communists on that list. And threatening private institutions with targeted government action is not very capitalist. Trump shares the unique pattern of behavior as those on your list that preceded their autocratic rule. I think American institutions are stronger and provide a better check, but it still relies on the better judgment of the governed, and our wannabe tyrant has tapped into the American shadow.Quote:

Don't forget about Chavez and Maduro, with a lapdog audience of Hollywood geniuses (Moore, Penn, Oliver Stone). You don't have to go back very far to see what the left is up to.Quote:

NBC and others were threatened with scrutiny by the FCC. The NFL was threatened about their “tax breaks.”Quote:

Not only was Hitler not a socialist himself, nor a communist, but he actually hated these ideologies and did his utmost to eradicate them. At first this involved organizing bands of thugs to attack socialists in the street, but grew into invading Russia, in part to enslave the population and earn ‘living ‘ room for Germans, and in part to wipe out communism and ‘Bolshevism’.
The key element here is what Hitler did, believed and tried to create. Nazism, confused as it was, was fundamentally an ideology built around race, while socialism was entirely different: built around class. Hitler aimed to unite the right and left, including workers and their bosses, into a new German nation based on the racial identity of those in it.”

A somewhat reasonable response.Quote:

Trump shouldn't have done/said that....oh wait! Trump didn't. That was your boy obummer who did that! Funny you weren't concerned about the POTUS becoming a tyrant then.
President Trump has used executive orders to undo obummer's and had turned issues like HC back over to Congress, a duly elected body that is supposed to represent the people. That doesn't sound like the actions of a would-be tyrant. Sounds like an anti-tyrant, actually.
Ball's in your court....

Doomsday clock moved to 2 minutes till midnight with the inauguration of Trump. Haven’t been that close to midnight since 1953. Surely we are inside 1 minute if the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists were to meet today.
You completely ignore the fact that he has competent military advisors who have our nation's best interest at heart. That's a 180 from the past 8 years. Do you believe, like Obama, that the US owes more to countries like North Korea and Iran?Quote:
