Serious question about Trumps presidency

Serious question about Trumps presidency

Debates


You all have heard him say he wants to kill parts of the constitution, he says he will be a dictator on day one, wants to pull out of NATO, incarcerate 15 million people here legally, put even more children in cages and do a 20% tariff..
My serious question is this:
Do all you right wingers think it is time for a real dictator, that you actually want the end of democracy here, that our system of government is so screwed it needs to be destroyed from within and Trump says he will pull the broadcast license of CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, put media journalists in jail because they criticize Trump, which is one of the founding fathers idea that media people should be able to hold government accountable but Trump wants to quell all critics.
Is this a case of right wingers just not believing anything like that will happen, that Trump won't follow through with the things he said where we ALL heard what he has said.
So is it the right wing consensus that democracy is a failed experiment and needs to be replaced by an authoritarian? That is exactly what will happen if Trump is reelected.
Is that what you all want? The time of democracy is over?

@sonhouse
Hello. I would suggest that you confirm as fact the first few sentences of your posting. For instance you seem to have considered the dictator comment he made as a matter of fact, and want us to treat it as such?
The thread would peter out if based on non factual statements

So you can't take ANYTHING at face value. Would that be because you don't watch TV or do you just ignore what Trump actually says in his own words?

The sad thing is some of them really do. Many of them are so weak, frightened, and indecisive, they feel only a dictator can bring safety and order to their lives.

Weaponize the government? Like you all have done against him? Is that the retribution? Is he supposed to forget the hell of weaponization? I am sorry too, that you take everything he utters as a gospel, you take it all literally and go outside and ring a chickens neck! How bout the law breakers be dealt with.
I hope he gives NATO hell. They need us, we do not need them. He will whip them into shape. Make them pay their fair share. Fair share is such a puszy phrase don’t you think?
So it is unfortunate that you do not get the proper use of tariffs. You know, to intimidate competitors, etc.… Trump eats this stuff for breakfast. I can’t help you there, the library has books on that.
As to immigrants, there is no way he is perfect, and no way he can get rid of all of them, let us chalk it up to wishful thinking. It is his way of giving us all his position. I want them all gone, and take in 2 million a year to pick cabbage, start their own cabbage company, and get rich, and make me and you, rich. So he is blustering to let us all know that he means business, and maybe he will indeed find a way to send them the hell back. I have heard of an investment in a trucking company gearing up to take them back! Do you like the border to be open, millions of us do not. The wheel turns..
As an aside, if tomorrow my daughter is faced with a man in a swim meet, or if an illegal immigrant, assaults my daughter, my present position on the swim meet and on illegals would not change. However, you would have to change your position on those two events. Would you not? So, here we have to read a new thread from a wishy-washy poster. Downer.

I have read that Sonhouse never suggests restricting 150 country citizens flowing in illegally. I have seen him not respond to a man swimming against he daughter in a swim meet.
When Trump takes over, Sonhouse will be impacted, thus his fanaticism

Who wants us ruled by dictator
Do a thread, SHouse owns this one
While you are at it, get us info on Trump stating he will put children in cages. Sonhouse says that a lot, but I don’t know that he has that on his to-do list.

In other words you don't believe the words coming out of Trumps mouth,
just admit it and get it over with.
Just don't come sniveling to me if Trump is elected and all those things happen and more.
You haven't the slightest clue just how dangerous Trump really is, he has gotten extreme radicalization since he got booted out of office the last time and now instead of talking policy, he tells us how big Arnold Palmer's dick is.
How can you ever imagine Trump would be a good POTUS, when the world leaders for instance, thinks he is an idiot.
The only ones who 'like' Trump are Putin, Erdogan, Kim Jon Un and the like BECAUSE they know he is easily manipulated.

Like Trump will 'solve' the Ukrainian war all right, just force them to accept a loss of 30% of their sovereign territory.

He SAID, Russia, you can do whatever the HELL you want.

During the Helsinki debacle, did you ever even THINK to ask just why Trump confiscated all the notes written down by the clerks?

Well, , I don’t believe he really means to be a dictator, even though yes, the words out of his mouth are that he would be a dictator. No I do not believe that. That he would be a dictator or that he means she wants to be a dictator. Are you gonna write about this like you do about cages all the time.?
I don’t care what world leaders think of him as long as he shows them which country is the greatest. Has Biden?
You will have to define ‘like’. Respect is the operative term.


@ have a one-on-one meeting with Putin like I do with every other leader. I have many one-on-one, nobody ever says anything about it," Trump told Pirro. "But with Putin, they say, 'Oh, what did they talk about?'"

"I meet with Putin, and they make a big deal. Anybody could have listened to that meeting. that meeting is up for grabs," Trump said, adding that he and Putin spoke about Israel and "lots of other things."


@TheListener
So you think that our 340 million citizens should be privy to all of the private discussions of which you speak

Tell me, what will you think if Trump IS reelected and then goes and does all he said he would? Deport millions, add 20% tariff, pull the broadcast license of those TV stations, put journalists in prison, if all that happens and it turns out the US longer has the freedoms it used have because of Trump, are you prepared for a US that looks like that?

I don't think you understand how close we are to literally losing our democracy.
Democracies are fragile as has been shown in countries around the world and if you think it can't happen here you are sadly mistaken.

We lost democracy when a coup pulled Biden and appointed, Not ELECTED, Harris to the position of presidential candidate. My daughter wanted to vote Newsome for the candidate, but you and Pelosi denied her choice, you violated my daughter’s freedom to select a candidate. Trump should jail you while he is at it. (Put handcuff emoji here)
You preach about freedom and yet do not give it.
Yes to deporting people here illegally. Law breakers. Jail journalists and pull licenses of TV, who are also lawbreakers, Mr Sonhouse.
So I am in favor of these things that you are not in favor of.
