Trump is a blowhard, and claims to have superhuman powers. Rational people understand this is BS, and ignore the boasts and hubris. Irrational and gullible people eat it up. My democrat friends laugh at Trump's wild claims.
They are only wild claims as long as he remains out of power. Instead of becoming less influential in the Republican Party, his power has been growing while out of office. Witness his ability to shut down the bi-partisan border deal with a word.
They are being stupid. Trump does not possess the power OR the authority to shut down the press. He never has, and never will. Be rational. Think.
I do think. None of the litany of authoritarian despots in world history had the power either - until they did.
LEARN!
Trump brags and boasts that he has special powers. He does not. Numbskulls on the left only enable him, and they are too ignorant to realize this. Trump feeds off of your (collective) irrational fears. He uses you.
No. Nothing the
left does enables him. The left may provoke him, but the left does not enable him. Only the
right enables him. See the example above. Quite the contrary, the left makes efforts to disable him, and for very good reasons. Because they would rather he not be empowered - because he shouldn't be!
Yes. Much like Henny Penny running around the barnyard clucking about the sky falling. Their fears aren't based in reality - they are based on emotions, misinformation and hype.
No. They're based on what Trump DOES, and on what Trump SAYS. That's what fears are based on, and that fear is quite rational. Emotions may become involved, but if he is the source of the information, and he most certainly is, then it isn't misinformation.
You're free to believe whomever you want.
Oh .... thank you?
The bottom line is that democracy is a fixture in America, and is NOT under some mysterious threat by Trump. - contrary to what the looney-toon lefties claim. There is NOT going to be any dictatorship - contrary to what the looney-toon lefties claim.
I might have met one or two "looney-toon lefties" in my life, but I've encountered dozens of looney-toon righties in person, and hundreds on line, who believe every word Trump says, including his LIES about a stolen election, and they're looking forward to him regaining power. Moreover, they'll be tickled when he does because it is they, the looney-toon righties who have fallen hook, line, sinker, rod and reel for his bullshit.
The "dictator" nonsense has gotten out of hand. You people need to drop it - - seriously.
Tell the wannabe dictator that.
Seriously!
I don't defend Trump or make excuses for him. Don't need to. There's no rational reason to believe that his second term would be any different from his first. (without the COVID, hopefully)
No - there's every reason to believe it - and, even unto itself, it is a perfectly reasonable justification to oppose his candidacy at every turn, and in every possible way. But it certainly isn't the only one. There are plenty of others, some even more important.
For example, far above and beyond any of Trump's delusions of grandeur, he is a known unrepentant recidivist
criminal FRAUD who simply has no business in the Oval Office. So if the efforts to oppose him are augmented by people who are afraid he will overthrow our democracy, that should be a more than welcome element to contribute to finally putting the era of Trump behind us - once and for all.
If your post is really meant to address things for which there is no rational reason to believe in, then there is no rational reason to believe he will be allowed a second term. Trump himself - not the "looney-toon left" - is his own worst enemy, and he alone will be his undoing. Believe it.
