About the dire warnings of a second Trump presidency.

The problem has various component parts. The alternative reality created by RWM being a central element. But at its core the problem is Trump. He is its driving force.

The driving force is the false reality that the echo chamber of the Democrat Media bubble has created and maintained for multiple generations.
You take a failed education system, reinforce it over and over and over -
You have a country that functions at a much less than optimal level.
 
Yup. We could see something abnormal was going on when he so easily dispensed with the other primary candidates in 2016 as members of the former GOP were attracted to him like flies on shit. That was the first sign of what would be the development of the cult of personality.

It was his policies.
I know it will literally kill you to accept that.
The leaders of your echo chamber will never let you accept it, so you are safe, but -

Any other professional Republican Candidate on that stage could have coopted candidate Trumps' policy positions and would have won the Primary and presidency easily.

None were willing to do that.
 
Even assuming that is true, which it isn't, Trump bears no relationship with traditional conservatism.

Most people do live conservative lives in this country which (outside of LA County and NYC) is a Center-right Country.

Most people, prior to Obama, lived comfortable lives but allowed the media to make them believe that their neighbors were 1 Republican Victory away from destruction.

President Trump governed as a Conservative, to the best of a President's ability - Presidents are not Kings.

Project 2025 is all about creating one. After all, we already know Trump believes as prez he is above the law, just like a king.
 
They are out there and they are out there in droves. The people who are making them come from all quarters, including former members of his first administration.

Former Trump officials are among the most vocal opponents of returning him to the White House


NEW YORK (AP) — Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper has called him a “threat to democracy.” Former national security adviser John Bolton has declared him “unfit to be president.” And former Vice President Mike Pence has declined to endorse him, citing “profound differences.”

As Donald Trump seeks the presidency for a third time, he is being vigorously opposed by a vocal contingent of former officials who are stridently warning against his return to power and offering dire predictions for the country and the rule of law if his campaign succeeds.

It’s a striking chorus of detractors, one without precedent in the modern era, coming from those who witnessed first-hand his conduct in office and the turmoil that followed.

Sarah Matthews, a former Trump aide who testified before the House Jan. 6 committee and is among those warning about the threat he poses, said it’s “mind-boggling” how many members of his senior staff have denounced him.


The reasons for the warnings are as varied as the people making them. Some point to Project 2025, an authoritarian playbook centering on tearing down what is widely referred to as the "administrative state." Replacing it with those who pass a test of loyalty to the person who would head up an unitary executive with newly, expansive power. Some point to his immorality, some to witnessing first hand his incompetence and impetuous behavior, some to the virtually incomprehensible times he has run afoul of the law and basic decency. They all boil down to the same thing. They fear he will break us.

My answer to those concerns is, we are already broken.

We, the people, can not agree on who the legitimate leader of the country is. We can not agree on how to view the events that transpired on Jan. 6 nor who is responsible for them. We no longer agree adherence to a basic moral code is a prerequisite for holding high office. We do not agree on whether both threats and acts of violence in someone's name should be condemned by that person. We are at virtual polar opposite sides when it comes to environmental, immigration, gun control, and abortion policies. We can't agree on elemental facts, making constructive discourse and effective governance impossible. We do not agree as to the reasons for historic congressional inaction while there is a pressing need for action on many fronts. We can not agree on the best way to move forward. That is not sustainable.

Can we be fixed? I believe we can. We are on the cusp of deciding whether to begin that process this coming November.
Translation: Since after being found guilty on 34 counts in a kangaroo court, Trump is doing even better in the polls and you are scared shitless so much that you have to make this thread. In fact, a recent poll of six swing states shows that their voters are more worried about Biden taking democracy away than Trump.
 
I know you folks hate to see the 1/6 committee's work brought up but that was an excellent example of the unanimity of the experiences recounted by former members of the admin. I was especially interested to hear the testimony of former DoJ officials talk about Trump's efforts to corrupt it to his advantage.

You understand that it was simply a poor produced infomercial, yes?
They were all acting as the script required them to.
No one that had evidence that didn't follow the script made the final cut.
There was no fact finding involved, at all.
They were simply looking to sell a product, the product was the fact that President Trump shouldn't be President again,

When is the last time you saw an infomercial were one of the actors said, hey this product doesn't actually work.
 
Sorry, I have to stop you there. The idea his trial(s) were kangaroo courts is a construct of the alternative reality media machine created for Trump's benefit and at his direction.

Literally every legal expert not connected directly to the Democrat Party said that. (in some form)
Even some that were.

You keep typing words that have no credibility and have been overwhelmingly refuted in prior exchanges.

Why did you make the thread? Maybe because you're terrified that Trump is pulling ahead. Did you see that voters in six swing states believe Biden is more of a threat to democracy than Trump is? You guys are shooting yourselves in the foot and you're too indoctrinized to feel the pain.

Is Trump someone you admire?
