In other threads, I have raised my concerns about AOC and 'the squad'. I am as concerned about them as I am Trump - except that they are NOT Potus. They are freshman and simply don't (yet?) have the power or influence Trump does as POTUS.
The Democrats really need to be careful though, because AOC and the squad will NEVER defeat Trump. They are far to far left and if they let them drive the party and party policy then the Dems have lost to fanatics just as the Republicans have and it will be yet another rock and hard-place election where we can go with either hard socialism or white nationalism/facism. And the ideals of the Republic as it was formed will be far to close to annihilation than they should ever have come.

You need to start with different premises:
1) Trump is not the devil.
2) Christians can, in good conscience, support him without compromising their core values.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

1) Trump is personally a moral reprobate and we do not support his personal failures
2) Trump's current policies are mostly in line with conservative thought so we can support them.

No - but you are duped. Why would any of you support someone that would in a rally encourage and bask in getting the entire crowd to express vocal and frenzied hatred of congresswomen he happens to disagree with?
Think about the kind of person that can do that - think about how much hatred you would have to have to purposefully get people that riled up against fellow human beings.
Do you guys not understand how dangerous that is? Do you not understand what a mob mentality is, and how much destruction and death tends to come from it?

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostJim, those are some rather vile accusations you're leveling against ME. Do you see that?
All that is required for Evil to succeed is for good men to remain silent.
And I see most Trump supporters that say they don't like Trump himself as fitting that description. They will not speak against the bad things Trump is doing.
How about condemning Trumps actions when they are vile rather than supporting those actions because you like some of his policies?
Don't you realize that if you (Trump supporters) refuse to accept Trumps hateful acts you can change this? Here's a question: Will Trump still fight for the policies you want if Trump supporters stop supporting his vile actions?
What does it mean if he wont?
It is possible you (Trump supporters) won't challenge his hateful acts because you are afraid he will stop being for those things if you don't?

You are so readily programmed to use the Hitler designation about Trump when there has been nothing like that in the Trump presidency. It seems to me (and my true concern is) that you, and so many other people, are convinced that there is similarity to Nazism/Fascism. Don't you know that it is Communists that had the complaint against the Nazi socialism? It is this gullibility to MSM propaganda that makes me nervous about your view. Such gullibility is what would allow some dictator-minded successor to Trump to gain power. You (and the MSM) having been crying wolf. Wait until the real wolf comes in ...to see how we fare as a nation.Last edited by mikewhitney; 07-18-2019, 12:28 PM.
