I just spent a whole bunch of time listening to how Trump's refusal to work with the media is very Orwellian. That he is a racist nationalist and is moving toward a dictatorship.
I pointed out I didn't think the people who voted for him would allow for an overthrow of the government by a dictator. As the point of keeping Hillary out of office was to prevent the further expansion of government. Somehow those on the left are now thinking Trump is making moves towards what has historically been a liberal agenda. So, that's been my morning. Also, thinks the CNN stuff where they keep getting caught in lies is nothing compared to the lies Trump says and we're all doomed because racist white America is going after minorities now. |

For someone with such alleged aspirations, he sure is failing to act like one.
I vigorously point to his deference to the court system repeatedly issuing injunctions upon his EOs. A competent dictator would've made a horrific example of the first judge to put the fear of his wrath into the entire court system. Also his repeated prodding of the congressional GOP on healthcare and other signature agenda items. A competent dictator would've exorted and blackmailed key political figures such as the whip to keep the party compliant. |

You never thought you'd hear that Trump would be likened to a dictator?
Where the hell have you been for the past half a year? |

Well, the left will throw as many turds as it can against any walls that it can to hope something sticks..... The dictator charge is laughable after the previous 8 years of a unilateral "white house occupant"

Wait...you are just now hearing this? Were you in the coma during the last election?
Ever hear of the Antifa movement? |

View Quote It is called Making Counter Accusations aka "gaslighting" a favorite tactic of sociopaths. Always accuse your enemy of the crimes you are committing before he can accuse you of them Since "They" own the media this is easy peasy for natural born liars and other luciferians to pile on with their fake news and news actors to advance their counter accusations. |

Some of them are deliberately using Orwellian Newspeak.
Most of them are ignorant tools who are parroting what they hear. The MSM is helping to create dissent. They can't stand the thought of socialists losing ground. |

If you wanted to make America great again as it was back in the day of our founders....it would take dictator and what would today be characterized as brutality...and it would be a bloodbath...mainly because of those who would resist against their largess being taken away and given to those who earned it in the first place.
Instead we have a nation of a million little dictators stealing,lying,cheating their way to prosperity...using the poor to jimmy open the treasury...and then there are the cheating suppliers and politicians of government and foreign intrigues. We want to drain "the swamp" but Washington DC was built in a swamp... imo |

People have been saying that crap since before the election. It's best to just not talk to anyone who believes that.

View Quote ...which is a narrative put forward by a media that is rather put out that they aren't the dictator. Trump refuses to play by their rules. Republicans are supposed to be meek and obsequious and play nicely according to media rules while the media portrays them as evil racists who want to kill poor people. Refusing to go along with that is simply not cricket, and it's a sure sign that Trump is half a step away from Hitler. The people yakking about dictator shit didn't talk any of that when Obama was doing things by executive order and the press felated him daily. Which means that they don't actually mean any of it...they're just mad their candidate didn't win. Show me someone who was screeching when the Obama administration was massively overstepping boundaries (some principled liberals did actually speak up) and I'll actually be willing to listen to them. Most are just latching on to whatever narrative makes them feel the most righteous so they can brow-beat people who disagree with them. Nothing more. |

It was perfectly fine when Obama constantly made negative comments about Fox News.

Every President, probably forever, has been likened to a dictator (and every other insult as well). It's part of the job.

I meant in a conversation with a human.....face to face. View Quote When someone hates traditional America deep down, they will ALWAYS look at someone who loves traditional America as a tyrannical person. Don't waste your time with them............make fun of them and ridicule them incessantly is the only avenue that will allow you to keep your sanity in a sea of insane whackjobs who HATE America. |

I just spent a whole bunch of time listening to how Trump's refusal to work with the media is very Orwellian. View Quote Refusing to work with the media is literally the opposite of Orwellian. I don't mean literally like "I literally died," I mean literally the actual definition of literally. To be Orwellian you have to work with and control the media |

saw a shirt the other day that had an American flag and said "you dont have to like it, but you dont have to live here either."

Well, we called Obama that and worse here so tit for tat. View Quote F&F Weaponizing IRS against his political enemies Using NSA against his political enemies Colluding with Clinton's to coverup Hillary's server investigation Etc That is what dictators do. Trump hasn't done anything similar of which I am aware. |

meh,
I said the same thing about Obama. We LOVE when OUR dictator is in office. HATE it when it is the other side in office. |

Now that their Russia hysteria is pretty much fizzling out, they are throwing all kinds of shit out there looking for the next big thing to go batshit crazy about.

Quite the opposite. What he's doing is drawing the public out of its shell, so that they may insist that action be taken on issues the Republicans have been mumbling lip service to for years.

"He's a Russian puppet and will start WWIII with Russia."
Communists are desperate like they havent been for a generation. |

LOL
He was being likened to a dictator before he took office. |

Orwellian? Did those dumbassses even read the book?
Donald J. Freaking Trump is the antithesis of Orwellian. |
|
|
Dictator? 0 was ruling by executive order. That's as close as a dictatorship we have come in living memory. Hitlery would have exacerbated it.

So he likes keymod...so what.
besides it takes a dictator to take a village |
