The only thing to fear is fear itself

[regent]

The greatest political use of fear was the use of communism. Marx linked one type of socialism, (Scientific) to communism and the Republicans had their fear for the next fifty years. I thought it was being replaced by Hillary's many diseases but not so. Republicans just haven't found a replacement for communism and now with Trump and Putin being pals they may need a new one? Any suggestions?
My suggestion to the Democrats is that Trump is nuts.

Those words have never been more true than today.
Donald Trump was elected by exploiting and inflaming fear

Frightened, fearful usually lose.

We are a better nation than to let those that are most fearful dictate who we are.

We are a country of the brave not the fearful

Of course, those words from FDR were never true and if you had even half a functioning brain you would know that. FDR was trying to bolster the courage of the people precisely because there was so much to fear. When you quote them it sounds more like Neville Chamberlain saying he had achieved "peace in our time" after signing the infamous Munich Pact and shortly before Britain was forced to declare war on Germany.

you speak as one who is fearful, grow a couple

You speak as one who is too stupid to understand the discussion.

I understand the discussion, and I know you need to grow a couple.
That double speak you came up about FDR and Neville Chamberlain was an excuse to be fearful.

Again you show your ignorance of both US history and our present situation is so broad in scope and so profound that you are incapable of posting anything but simple minded taunts like, grow a pair.

Few people realize that it is the JCS (Joint Chiefs Of Staff) that are the main preservers of American Liberty more than anybody else.

It is no longer possible for a major riot of peoples to oppose the US military.

In the case of an imminent tyranny, I foresee them conferring together then speaking with one of the alternate successors to the President, or several of them, and then the SCOTUS chief justice, Speaker Of The House, and Leaders of the Senate.

Then with their concurrence Marines would take the POTUS prisoner at The White House.

This could have happened with Nixon as well, but he stepped down voluntarily instead.

DJT may or may not be the type to step down, but it does not matter.

If he crosses the line the JCS's would force him.

There is nothing to fear.

The people will force him out, it has already begun

They didn't force out Big Ears and he was much worse.

You do not think like mainstream America.
Obama's approval rating when he left office was almost 20% higher than Trump's current approval rating.

Why do you do the bidding of the establishment and the 1%?. Can't you think for yourself?

You think Obama's approval rating was made up of the top 1% and the establishment. Think again.

The top 1% have never held more positions in our Federal Government than they do under Trump.

No. His rating merely reflects the ease in which the establishment and MSM can dupe Americans like you.

You are quite an articulate wordsmith or you think you are.
I agree that asking you to grow a couple is very simplistic, do you want me to expand on what I think you should do.

I agree. I thought he was just a very smart con-man but his narcissism has made him nuts.

Dem's have all but destroyed their party. No longer able to deny the devastation, in shock over losing to Trump fear mongering is all they have left. Dem's cling to it in desperation.

Here's the good news...Obama has announced his intention to control the Democratic party, they will remain split between Obama's faction and the DNC fighting over the same donors. How sweet is that

You think all Americans are either Democrats or Republicans. A large portion of the American electorate are independent.
The democrats (not Obama) are doing a bad job and are one of the reasons Trump was elected. The republicans are doing worse. Both parties are horrible.
The party that earns the support of the younger generations wins the future.
As bad as the democrats are doing, they are the favorites to be the party of the younger generations.

A large portion "are" also illiterate.

Portion is singular not plural.

Use "is" not "are" with portion.

The plural of portion is portions.

THAT's when you would use "are".

The USA has been a running plutocracy for a long time.

BHO and the Clintons were brief exceptions (at first).

Fear in general is paralyzing.

One must first overcome fear in order to be able to fight.

FDR was quite right.

It is often amazing to me how such a rich man as FDR gained such great insights? However he was right.

I do not agree with FDR's decision to move the Pacific Fleet from San Diego to Hawaii however. That decision by him alone was a massive blunder and it cost 2,403 American lives. That's almost as bad as what "W" Bush lost on 9-11 (2,996+).

The theory is that FDR's long bout with polio changed much of his feelings about life and people.

You cannot get away from the fact that the majority of Trump supporters were driven by fear. Trump took advantage of the fear and used alternate facts to increase the fear. Decisions driven by fear are usually not good.
At the end of the day, the only thing to fear is fear itself. We have too many USA citizens driven by fear.

It's funny how conservatives are scared shitless of anyone who is different than them, and then they turn around and act all tough and puff out their chests and wave their guns around.

Give a weak, fearful person an AK-47 and they feel strong.
Strong, confident, non-fearful people are the safe gun owners.
Weak, fearful, paranoid gun owners are DANGEROUS. Those who think the more and bigger guns they have, the safer they are.

I Know You Are But What Am I?

ILLEGAL ALIENS: Sí, Se Puede
SNOWFLAKES: Sissy Putty

You are a person who today's world has passed by. Your skills do not fit a new global economy. You are scared people who do not look like you might take opportunity from you.
Instead of growing a couple and going out and competing you are asking Mr. Trump to take away your competition. Roll the world back where you fit in better.

There's Nothing Wrong With Turning Back the Clock If It's Connected to a Suicide Bomb
