I wasn't referring to this thread specifically. I mean in general based on personal experience.
A lot of people in posts above named much that I agreed with but here's more:
The endless and almost peristaltic drive to privatize all areas of the public sector, public goods and services, including Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and VA.
My wife is a 100% service connected disabled Navy veteran who depends upon the excellent care she gets from the VA Health Care System and if that is privatized, overwhelming evidence from every single veterans group in existence points to a catastrophe in the making, as private medicine cannot begin to meet the specialized needs of millions of disabled military veterans who currently receive good care now in the present system.
The ONLY group that feels differently is the Koch Brothers funded "Concerned Veterans for America" which primarily represents private hedge fund managers and private medical insurers despite their claims of being "a veterans group" and who stand to profit in the hundreds of billions from doing away with the VA system.
The current Trump position is to privatize every aspect of modern life to the maximum extent possible.
This is a death move for all but the wealthiest at the topmost elite segments of society.
Roads, highways, postal, infrastructure, education, all of the above and more will become unaffordable luxuries rather than accessible public goods used by the largest number of Americans.
Transferring Social Security to a Wall Street investment cartel almost guarantees that funds will no longer be available in short order, as a certain economic downturn will cause that money to evaporate in an instant with no recourse or guarantee to those who have invested a lifetime's contributions.
Women, minorities, immigrants, (even legal ones) and non-religious are slated to become second class citizens at risk of having their rights stripped altogether.
Sorry but I did not sign up for an America that resembles a cross between The Hunger Games and The Handmaid's Tale.
That leads me to The Dominionists, the hardcore radicalized evangelical fundamentalists who worship Trump as a deity.
1. In order for them to succeed in implementing right wing authoritarian fascist theocracy and rule by wealthy oligarchy, SECULAR DEMOCRACY MUST BE DESTROYED, and it must be destroyed with the consent of the governed.
2. Once that happens, civil society, civil order and the rule of law will collapse.
3. The people will BEG for a strongman to restore order from the chaos.
4. This is THE DOMINIONIST movement's MOMENT, when they march in on white steeds like SAVIORS, and promise to restore order IF the people will ACCEPT their rule.
5. According to Dominionists:
The poor ARE poor because, according to THEIR interpretation of scripture, they are WICKED.
The poor are poor because they are wicked. Get that THROUGH your HEADS, it is repeated every Sunday in their sermons all over the country.
The righteous shall rule over the wicked, the wicked shall have their wealth transferred to the righteous.
Anyone, ANYBODY, who opposes their theology, rich OR poor, are THE WICKED.
6. The weapon they are using to destroy democracy IS DONALD TRUMP.
The holy roller Dominionists don't embrace Donald Trump for his FAITH, they embrace him for his POWER, his power to help them achieve their agenda. He is their VIRUS, their weapon of mass destruction. The Trump Chaos Tornado is meant to destroy democracy. That is its purpose.
The billionaires are perfectly fine with this because they share common cause with the holy rollers. They are even more insulated from the law in a theocracy than they are in a democracy, and so as long as the authoritarians aren't Marxist, they're perfectly fine with the idea.
