Election 2025

Wow. The dishonesty in your rhetoric has reached an all-time high. I will be back to destroy your argument tomorrow.

But the fact that you can say this...

 this is yet another attempt by you to muddy the waters so that nothing Trump could ever do would be a problem for you. Under this framing, what’s “wise” is whatever the dear leader says it is, because he’s the one we elected to tell us so.

and not even think twice about it is absurd.

I have critiqued Trump multiple times in this thread. You've seen those times, and you ignore them. You're so hell bent on proving I am a Trump cultist that you intentionally lie about me. Shame on you.

make it clear he is trying to steer the US government in the direction where he has total say.

You yourself steer in that direction by asking for a larger and more intrusive government. If you don't want him to have total say, then stop allowing the laws that increase his power over every area of your life. That growth started long before now and with people like you, won't end anytime soon. If you’re scared one “drunk captain” is gonna slam the Valdez into a reef, the answer isn’t to build an even bigger tanker and pray the next guy shows up sober. The answer is to stop making ships so huge that one bad turn ruins the whole coastline.

So you'd rather have unelected appointed people decide? So much for no kings....

Mamdani crushed it, after 911 only Trump could get a Muslim elected mayor.

How do you feel about them being best buddies on camera?

Amazed by it.

If a month ago, you told me Trump and Mamdami would be buddies while Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene would not be, I'd have thought you were nuts.

In the OP I said, "Between now and the midterms it's gonna be fun watching Republicans scramble to put distance between them and Trump, stay loyal and the voters destroy you, don't stay loyal and Trump will destroy you, they earned it."

But I sure never imagined it would be MTG leading the exodus...I guess Trump sees it coming too, so he needs to reach out to democratic socialists for allies now.

For months they said Tariffs don't raise prices, now they are saying they are reducing tariffs to bring prices down.

Trump's approval ratings are in the toilet, and he has tanked the economy yet AGAIN, but his solution is to just claim his approval ratings are the highest ever (He said, “I have my highest poll numbers that I’ve ever had.” And he said, “I have the best numbers for any president in many years – any president.”, and he keeps saying that this is the best economy in the history of the world LOL, the core MAGA folks are dumb enough to buy it too.

First term, Trump lost 41 house seats in the 218 midterms, republicans wish they could do that well in the 2026 midterms.

The fat lady is singing for MAGA.

The Americans are tired of paying $66 for a Trump Bible or having all the rich take away the virgins like in Epsteins circle of billionaires. Mamdami being a Muslim will pray 5 times a day for answers and see that virgins are not exploited and go to paradise where they will meet their heroes and martyrs.

I don't think the Fat lady would ever sing with Hitler. Until now.

She joined the chorus line.

I don't think the Fat lady would ever sing with Hitler. Until now.

Trump will call her piggie.

That’s Trump’s way of inviting her to his pig pen.

And Mamdani will call Hitler Kermit.

Weak.

That was what Mamdami was seeing in the White House. That is why Trump had to sit during the interview.

I have critiqued Trump multiple times in this thread.

The most damming criticism of Trump you’ve offered in this thread is to say his stimulus spending was retarded, not exactly a full throated condemnation and wasn’t even made to me. If you’re going to argue that I’m being dishonest then consider what you’ve said to me, because I’m not going back and reading every post you’ve made.

Regardless, my comments to you were specific to what we’re discussing. I don’t care if you condemn Trump in some areas, we’re talking specifically about his authoritarianism/fascism, and with regards to that topic, your arguments are indistinguishable from any other Trump cultist I’ve argued with. You’ve given all the classics;

1. We voted for him, so that makes his actions ok
2. You set the standard where only complete catastrophe justifies outrage “our democratic-republic is not going to die because of Trump.”
3. You pretend that him hiring a weekend Fox News host to be secretary of defense, a couple of podcasters to run the FBI, a vaccine conspiracist with no medical expertise to run HHS, among many others I could name, is just him making hiring decisions like any other president
4. You invoked the we’re not mind reader’s defense to avoid inferring his intent

None of these are serious arguments, and when taken in totality the only through line here is unfalsifiability. If you want to show that to be wrong, perhaps you could tell us what Trump would have to do for you to accept that he is an authoritarian on a level very different from any other president we’ve seen.

No doubt, also imagine thinking a politician is going to improve your lot in life.

Politicians never improved anything in my life. Politicians just care for your vote, not for you. And this shows in all politicians after elections.

Setting aside your habit of grabbing one tiny aspect you do not like from someone and craftily molding that into a hollow, full-blown monster,

I really want to know what or who you intend to use to replace your elected president?

Since Trump is an autocratic dictator, it will be one of his children who will replace him.

"one of his children who will replace him" One can only hope. I shutter to think of the alternatives.

A poll revealed Trump Jr. has strong support in the 18-to-29 and 30-to-44-year-old demographic ranges. Over a quarter of Republicans and right-leaning independents under 30 years old pegged Trump Jr. as their "ideal" choice to lead the GOP ticket in 2028.

Sure, he'd like it to be Larry, Curley, or Moe, but he's not even going to last for his full term, no way he gets to pick which one succeeds him.

If he did get to pick, my guess, is he'd go with Moe, since he thinks she's so hot, "If Ivanka wasn't my daughter, I'd be dating her"

I bet he will let Mamdani follow him, just to prove how insane the left is with fake words.

Not my fault if you look at a mouse and an elephant and can’t tell which one is bigger

Read the constitution, it explains this.

Trumpism will die a painful death once the Donald is not leading the way any more. His cult like base will not transfer over to anyone else, not even his children, and his ability to win nationally has been contingent on middle of the road voters looking at him an and believing that because he was some genius real estate investor, would bring that to the Oval Office. The kids do not have that propaganda created aura either, swing voters would see that for what it is plainly and clearly.

Read the constitution, it explains this.

How about a committal answer instead.

What crypto does the Trump family own?

Trump promoted his own cryptocurrency meme coin, $Trump, and maintained significant investments in crypto with his family company World Liberty Financial, all of which raised significant conflict of interest concerns.

How about you read the constitution? It’s right there.

Why ask me a question that is not relevant to anything I’ve said and for which you already know the answer?

What is. Say it. Commit to an answer. You complain in every post about "unserious people"...

this is you being unserious. Again.

What is unserious is being asked something that is spelled out clearly in the constitution, then when responding with the instruction to read the constitution being told I’m the unserious one.
