Trump and modern tyranny

When I see Trump sit in his gold chair and talk about changing the Constitution, refusing transparency, limiting the media, outlawing beliefs, nationalizing the police, breaking treaties, and embracing the nuclear option.

 

Outlawing beliefs? Nationalizing police?

 

I am sick of Trump's gloom, doom and despair narrative. He's either trashing Hillary or talking about American being like a friend dying of cancer. Sometimes old people get like that.

 

Well, the jobs leave. and the economy dies. I don't know where you work, but many skilled manufacturers are out of a job, way more than there should be. Can you imagine the economy, if all the computer parts and machines we use over here in the service industry were also made here! The economy would be unstoppable.

 

This is stupid. The economy would suck because no one would be able to afford a damn computer. Wake up! Trumps ill conceived trade policy would bring back jobs. To the detriment of everyone.

 

Trump wants to ban Islam and nationalize local police to impose his stop and frisk program.

He is the kind of tyrant that the colonies fought against 250 year ago.

 

1. The US already produces high tech equipment as a major part of the economy, along with foodstuffs.
2. Comparative advantage says we don't need to everything, just the things we're good at (like high tech and agriculture).

 

The OP has it all wrong. We have much more to fear from the left when it comes to tyranny. The left advocates a strong, cradle-to-grave federal government. The right wants a relatively weak government that is incapable of micromanaging our lives.

 

That's not how the political spectrum works.

 

Yes. Trump will do all of this

 

Yes it does.

The left is all about control. For example, Obama favors a much more active (and menacing) government than Reagan advocated.

I'm sure you remember Reagan saying, "government isn't the solution, government is the problem", or something like that. Conservatives want small government.

The past 100 years of American history has simply been the left going full steam ahead with expanding the government and the Republicans trying to apply the brakes whenever possible.

 

Stinging retort. wow...

 

Thank you

 

You don't know politics very well. I suggest you take a few years off from political websites. Go take some college classes, get some real world experience, and come back when you can discuss things intelligently.

 

LOL, unbelievable. Hillary sets up a private server to circumvent the freedom of information and prevent any transparency, she wipes out subpoenaed evidence, she is in bed with the MSM, the libs are beating the cr*p out of peaceful pro-Trump hard working americans, vandalize their property, assault minorities and the poor who dare to support Trump, the libs are destroying free speech with their PC and with their violence.... and you here are bleating about transparency, limiting the media and outlawing beliefs? Duh

 

The US population has also more than doubled in the past 100 years.

 

He doesn't know much right now. But I believe in him. He can learn.

Non sequitar.

 

Trump is already the most divisive candidate in history, has the lowest morals imaginable, and he wants to rule like a dictator. But Hillary uses email, so now I'm conflicted.

 

Did you see that thread about libs beating the cr*p out of a homeless black lady who supports Trump? Who is outlawing beliefs again?

 

And yet you don't complain about obama actually bypassing the Constitution, refusing the transparency he promised in 2008, outlawing beliefs, actively nationalizing the police, breaking treaties, stabbing our allies in the back, destabilizing the world.

 

Hillary is not "using email". She is using a private server to circumvent and avoid the freedom of information act, to hide the information from the American people and law enforcement agencies... That she is breaking a bunch of laws, that she is jeopardizing confidential information is of no concern to her, she is above the law. That her only loyalty is to the ruling elites, donors, lobbyists and special interests is of no concern to you, obviously

 

Oh please. Why did she set up her own server? How in fvck could it possibly be more convenient to have to maintain your own server? No, the only logical reason is that there were emails she wanted to keep from oversight which implies hiding damaging if not illegal correspondence.

 

< bypassing the Constitution>

You have and example?

<outlawing beliefs,>

What beliefs did he outlaw?

<actively nationalizing the police,>

He nationalized the police? You have proof of this? Links?

 

Faithful execution isn't bypassing. It's called an "executive order" and Obama has issued far less than his modern predecessors.

If you think it's Obama that's destabilized the world then I guess you can't remember anything before 2008 when a few wars were going on.
