Is the GOP now the party of authoritarianism?

[Valerie]

About 40 Senate Democrats have lined up behind Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Not one has come forward for Mr. Sanders.





every single one of them, elected by the people for the people ^

No, you're just about as fucking stupid as you can possibly be. After this country has dismembered itself nations like China and Russia will walk all over what's left.

Then maybe this nation is so far down the rabbit hole that it no longer deserves to exist. Maybe our stubborn refusal to set any sort of standards for society and to separate Right from Wrong in a clear manner has doomed us.

GOP and the thugs who are still defending trump are getting totally punked.

25 quotes capturing Donald Trump’s final pitch to South Carolina

 

[Valerie]

It is unpopular to say in the year of the “outsider,” but it is not a recommendation that Trump has never held public office. Since 1984, when Jesse Jackson ran for president with no credential other than a great flow of words, both parties have been infested by candidates who have treated the presidency as an entry-level position. They are the excrescences of instant-hit media culture. The burdens and intricacies of leadership are special; experience in other fields is not transferable. That is why all American presidents have been politicians, or generals.

Any candidate can promise the moon. But politicians have records of success, failure, or plain backsliding by which their promises may be judged. Trump can try to make his blankness a virtue by calling it a kind of innocence. But he is like a man with no credit history applying for a mortgage — or, in this case, applying to manage a $3.8 trillion budget and the most fearsome military on earth.

Perhaps they have been all along, but electing Trump is certainly sending a message that the GOP is anti-constitution and American values.

Can you imagine what the founders would have to say about Trump?

It takes a special kind of stupid to claim Republicans are "authoritarian" when Obama and the Dims have saddled this country with more regulations and more government than has ever been seen in the history of the planet.

Do you turds all sit around in a room and discuss which fantasies you're going to be spewing this week?

With Trump encouraging assaulting protesters, saying he wants to be able to bring charges to journalists, disallow ALL Muslims from entering the U.S., and his authoritarian nature, YES the GOP is now the party of anti-American and anti-constitution.

Yo just proved the Democrat party is the party of imbeciles and douche bags.

What's autoritarianism?

LOL! I tried to fix it but couldn't.

Authoritarianism: Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms.

That sounds just like the Obama regime.

Fortunately we have your sense of morality to determine that for us.

Hillary has a record of failure, so I presume you will be voting for Trump, right?

 

[paulitician]

Both Parties are the 'Party of Authoritarianism.' Obamabots have no idea how much their guy has increased NSA/FBI spying on American Citizens. He's even now proposing disturbing unprecedented cell phone access for law enforcement. The Sheeple have been duped again.

 

[Anathema]

Fortunately we have your sense of morality to determine that for us.

The fact that it takes anything more than good old Common Sense to see it speaks volumes about how far our society has fallen.

Trump nevertheless offers a valuable warning for the Republican party. If responsible men irresponsibly ignore an issue as important as immigration, it will be taken up by the reckless. If they cannot explain their Beltway maneuvers — worse, if their maneuvering is indefensible — they will be rejected by their own voters. If they cannot advance a compelling working-class agenda, the legitimate anxieties and discontents of blue-collar voters will be exploited by demagogues. We sympathize with many of the complaints of Trump supporters about the GOP, but that doesn’t make the mogul any less flawed a vessel for them.

Some conservatives have made it their business to make excuses for Trump and duly get pats on the head from him. Count us out. Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as the Donald himself.

Shockingly, Trump told Yahoo News that he would consider requiring Muslim-Americans to register with a government database, or worse, mandating that they carry special identification cards that note their faith.

The reaction to this idea, fairly or unfairly, by many on social media, was to accuse Trump of wanting to mimic laws that Nazis had imposed on Jews, including requiring them to wear a gold Star of David on their clothes.

After Trump confirmed that he would set up a database for Muslim-Americans, an NBC reporter asked him point blank: "Is there a difference between requiring Muslims to register and Jews in Nazi Germany?" A clearly annoyed Trump at first refused to respond, but then told the reporter, "You tell me," and walked away.
