The 20%

It starts with attempts to delegitimize the media and to quell opposition. You know like "Alternate Facts" and "Fake News"

Mainstream media delegitimizes itself. You are already aware of that.

That's most likely because Dems. have shown themselves to be willing to use the information they have gotten when in those kind of positions for partisan reasons.

You mean they are holding trump accountable and partisans like you don't care if trump does anything illegal. Trumpbots can go to hell.

This refers to the 20% who are known die-hard followers. If Trump attempts to become a dictator, will this 20% follow him with their lives?

Remember it is jobs, jobs, jobs.

If he became dictator he would need the support of the US military, rolling in tanks onto Congress. So, what logically follows from your question is will most the men and women in the US armed forces, follow orders to police and silence Congress and the Supreme Court?

I think it is unlikely. Though, it may be needed if Congress and the deep state become more intent on causing a nuclear war and killing most life on earth.

Trump has lost a lot of favor with me. I don't like that he has followed the exact opposite path on Russia and Syria he said he would. He may be doing behind the scenes diplomacy to bring some of the tension with Russia down. But even assuming he is doing that he still has taken aggressive approach to them.

Yes, they will. Every last Trump voter you see out there will support this man even if he's in their living room killing their own child with a steak knife. They'll say the kid deserved it. I am not joking about that. This is how a cult of personality functions.

Are you kidding me? 2/3rds of them voted for Trump. They saw Trump disrespect McCain specifically for being a POW. They knew this, they saw it, and they voted for him anyway. These people are Republicans even though the GOP has scored 0 with veterans groups when it comes to health care and benefits. They know all this and they don't care how they get screwed over, 2/3 of them are still Republicans. That's not telling people anything about how insane our military personnel are?

At least 2/3 of the military will follow his orders no matter what, because they despise civilians and they see us as undisciplined rabble. Half these people will join the right wing militia when they get out anyway. You people have no idea how much these soldiers are chomping at the bit, especially to put down those "liberal pansies". If Trump gives the word the only thing on 2/3 of those troops' minds is to put down anyone who isn't TRUMP UBER ALLES.

You think I'm exaggerating here. People who accuse me of scare-mongering are not stopping to think what level of crazy it takes to vote for a GOP that ****s on your benefits and laughs (with their actions, not their words) at homeless vets, what level of crazy it takes to support a Presidential candidate that mocks POWs in a way that most anti-war protesters only dreamed of doing. 2/3 of America's military is bat**** insane. They have mental issues and they're armed. Think about that.

That's why most of the populace will be caught by surprise if Trump ever, say, declares martial law over some Reichstag Fire false flag bull****. 2/3 of those soldiers will not think twice about massacres. Because their minds are completely gone and they're programmed to obey orders. Trump says shoot they say "who?" Count on that.

You should have said that when Trump made fun of McCain for being a POW and he won the nomination anyway.

That right there should have told everyone that we have a psycho pandemic. Full stop.

The only thing I can agree on with your post here is there is most certainly a psycho pandemic taking place. Some reveal themselves by authoring threads like this.

I don't think most officers and enlisted would go along with instating a dictator for too long. I'll grant you when officers start handing down that private with a rifle in his hand is going to follow instructions, his orders. But eventually most people in the US military once they would figure what was going on would begin disobeying orders.

So you disagree that 2/3 of the military voted for Trump?
So you disagree that they voted for Trump despite knowing he mocked POWs?

Let's start with that part, do you disagree with those facts? Are you brave enough to give a yes or no answer to that?

One would hope. But the ego is a powerful thing, once you've bought in, it's hard to say you went wrong and bow out. If Trump were to declare martial law - over Muslims, no less - I would not, in the name of self-preservation could not bet my life on the military putting the skids on a balls to the walls crackdown. Raw animal instinct is telling me to run to another country and stay gone if that breaks out.

Brave enough? Do you think a threat is a proper way to get someone to respond to your post?

I don't disagree about the military vote.

President Trump did not mock POW's.

You should probably restrict your alt-left memes to those who would never doubt them.

"President Trump did not mock POW's."


So, considering that you have openly denied an event that did happen, your opinion about who is crazy is hereby stripped of all credibility.

Trump did mock POWs. Caught on video doing so. The soldiers who voted for him despite this are clearly, unambiguously deranged. Your rants about alt-left this and crazy liberals that are hereby invalidated on the basis that you yourself stand here and deny reality.
