His threats against the press. Given their already-high levels of cravenness, it'd be chilling, and the first step toward autocracy. Yeah, those same people that have called Obama a dictator, which he isn't, are rising up in joy to support Trump, who'd love to be. Dictators and suppression are fine, as long as the suppression is against those you hate. It's worked before, over and over again.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-63460209485519116652016-05-21T06:15:23.917-07:002016-05-21T06:15:23.917-07:00Gotta love irony.

They simply grab one of the worst periods of history and cut and paste.<br /> Nothing EXACTLY like Nazis, Stalin, Pol Pot, et al will occur. The recipe however is familiar. A charismatic leader who changes his mind, forgetting and remembering at his whim which rather than concerning followers actually ENERGIZES them. <br />Perhaps The Donald can moderate himself but when his followers demand action, maybe Muslims should be in a place where they can be watched . Maybe we should pull out of Japan and let them build their own nuclear arsenal.<br /> Ick.<br />I need to renew my passport.danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120881361934507591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-423708414982822082016-05-19T20:46:44.714-07:002016-05-19T20:46:44.714-07:00Damn the Republican leaders who are falling in lin...Damn the Republican leaders who are falling in line behind Trump! Evidently their love for country, Constitution and citizenry pales in comparison to their addiction to power and money. They must think that they'll be able to control Trump because he'll need them to negotiate an environment and responsibilities of which he is completely ignorant. Or, at at the very least, that they will individually survive even if their party does not. What price are they willing to pay? Whatever it costs us.Dr Strangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14603758423399991937noreply@blogger.com
