Here, Crane Op, is why no one should take you and your ilk seriously.
How on earth can you not know that Trump is Judge Smails in any plausible Caddyshack scenario.
Simply delusional.

When you are dealing with a cult (make no mistake, a cult is exactly what Trump has created), the followers can see nothing wrong with the leader. The leader of a cult establishes themself as the ultimate, infallible authority and can do no wrong in the eyes of the followers. Even an order, such as drinking poison, will be seen as correct and will be followed.

In time, some of these followers may see things as they truly are, but most will not. Short of some kind of full-scale deprogramming, it is literally pointless to make any attempts to reason with a cult member because they simply lack any ability for reasoning while they are in the grips of the cult mentality.

Speaking of presidential cults, I remember well the cult of Obama.

"Yes we can! Yes we can!"

And my favorite line from the cult leader:

"We are the ones we've been waiting for."

Hate to break it to ya. If that's a belief of a cult leader. So was George Washington, a Freemason

And perhaps any other secret society leader ?

A cult leader, lmao. I'll give ya the fact that dump is narcissist. Which is a good trait having to put up with all the bullies. So many people can not see past the vail. Having to put up with there own subconscious bull shit is almost laughable, but your really a cry.

Fascism (/��f�¦���ªz��m/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

fascist politics would focus on the dominant cultural group. The goal is to make them feel like victims, to make them feel like they�ve lost something and that the thing they�ve lost has been taken from them by a specific enemy, usually some minority out-group or some opposing nation.

fascists are never content to merely lie; they must transform their lie into a new reality, and they must persuade people to believe in the unreality they�ve created. And if you get people to do that, you can convince them to do anything.

 Part of what fascist politics does is get people to disassociate from reality. You get them to sign on to this fantasy version of reality, usually a nationalist narrative about the decline of the country and the need for a strong leader to return it to greatness, and from then on their anchor isn�t the world around them � it�s the leader.

Yes, be very wary of presidential candidates who want to take away your private health insurance and your firearms. Just two more ways for government to increase its control over the populace.

It blows my mind to have to worry about fascism. Watching people turn against eachother because the dick head in the whitehouse is filling their empty heads with hate, and fear. Trump pounds it into them over and over. All whipped up into frenzy like a lynch mob. As trump looks out at his followers. With that smug expression looking like mussolini.

By the way. You know why Republicans think trump is a better president then Lincoln.?
Because Lincoln freed the slaves.

Democrats don't like facts. They spew a bunch of bullshit out their mouths thinking they can change peoples minds. The fact of the matter is is that half of that party doesn't even work much less pay taxes and their only goal in life is to have someone else pay for their miserable existence.

No im not going to let you trump worshipers ruin our country. When find yourself repeating what trump says. When you are ok with trump extorting the Ukrainian president to fake an investigation into Biden, his son, Hillary, and this mystery server you've become a tool. Im pretty sure you trump lovers would be ok if trump started arresting Democrats and journalists. You thugs wouldnt give a shit if trump takes away private property to build that fucking wall. You wouldnt lift a finger for anyone here you consider a liberal. You guys would never say trump has gone too far. You enjoy this kaos. You enjoy seeing the people you despise upset over the things trump says and does.

Libs hate it now that republicans are fighting back. Especially now that Trump is revealing the corruption of the Dems.

The IG report is coming, Durham's investigation is on-going and has been for longer than you think.

Its all about the foreign aid.

Don't for a minute believe we are fooled by the dem's trying to fake out the people by claiming Trump was going after a 'Political opponent' Biden wasn't a political opponent when he got the Ukrainians to stop investigating Burisma he was the Vice President at the time. THAT is what Trump is trying to find out.

I’m always amazed at how irrational people become when things aren’t the way they want or think they should be. They resort to belittling those they disagree with.

The only explanation for people who like Trump’s leadership is they are weak minded, deceived cult followers?

And a cut and paste of a portion of an article on fascism? Again a weak argument made by a HXer who really doesn’t understand fascism.

I guess people need to eliminate nuance so they can feel secure in their own bias.

There are a lot of people like me who do not agree with everything about Trump... but we agree with enough to believe he is better than any of the alternatives being offered.

If you notice my opinion did not single out anyone. I make a conscious effort not to. Yes, im emotional because like all of us i care about the country i live in. My political awareness started during the Clinton administration. I saw how Republicans play politics. From the religious right, newt Gingrich's rise and fall, the tea party, up to now. What ive noticed about Republicans is, truth is what you make it to be. You know the greatest hits over the years. Hillary killed vince foster, weapons of mass destruction, to obama is Kenyan. David brock confirmed the right wing conspiracy. The Arkansas project made to smear the Clintons. See, at the beginning of these conspiracies was a Republican knowingly fabricating lies. But today Republicans are getting help from russian troll farms. The party of morals, god and country has been duped AGAIN. There's problem when a US senator is repeating russian propaganda. It seems Republicans and Putin's interest have come together. Because of Republicans win at any cost mentality one resource to bash dems over the head with is shit generated by Russians. Of course being a liberal im all about fairness. Its my naivete to assume people would never knowingly lie or use false information to win an argument.  But the way truth is becoming relative. And this deep state fantasy erodes our trust in government institutions. The way the FBI is being portrayed as political and corrupt. The state department being full of nerds.The labeling of news as fake media. Which drives Republicans to sources that reinforce trumps view of the world. I know im the last person you would listen to. But im begging everyone to realize there is a Russian operation to divide us. To destabilize our way of life. We are sliding toward fascism.

Yes. We should not throw around terms like fascism too casually. There is a difference between a right wing government and a fascist government. But I do agree however that fascism historically has come in a somewhat incremental fashion. That why certain specific policies and ideologies (ie white supremacy) must be opposed.

Granite, no I did not originate the idea that Trump has established a cult, but I certainly agree that what we are witnessing is consistent with the behavior of cults. For the originator, see the link below. I have no doubt you will see anything of merit in it. Not even sure you would read it. Doesn’t comport with your existing beliefs.

“Trump is revealing the corruption of the Dems.”

Seriously? Six close associates of Trump, including his personal lawyer and his National Security Advisor, have been convicted. Not charged. Not indicted. Convicted.

And I’m not even getting into paying off porn stars and Playboy models to avoid hurting his election campaign. Or paying a $2 million fine for operating a bullshit “charitable” foundation. Or having to pay out $25 million for bilking unsuspecting dupes who attended the bogus Trump “University.”

The above facts are not wild, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. They are actual, documented examples of malfeasance and corruption.

The corruption of the dems? Get the fuck out of here. You cannot be fucking serious.

I put the definition of fascism and parts of an article that shows how fascism can take hold.
It fucking scared the shit out of me. Whether its the Russians planting propaganda, or some convergence of random factors. Trump is not helping. He kicked open the door by playing politics the only way he knows. Create his own reality, and pummel his enemies. Unfortunately his persona, playing the victim, using fear, racism and attacking the media is effective. He already has people chanting lock her up. As impeachment progresses im worried how trump will react. The last 3 years trump has taken every opportunity to make things worse.

Howard stern used to have trump on all the time. That was when he liked the clintons back then there were rumors of doing business with the mob. Bankrupting casinos, labor law violations, and now usung his charity to buy paintings of himself. Trump has never missed a chance to do the wrong thing.

Ive never said shit like that. This is all about revenge.? This is a Republican reaction. Gloating, taunting, shoving it in our face. This is the kind of shit i never do. That kind of reaction is destructive. Im frustrated, pissed off and trying not to lose it. Ordinarily, i dont let that kind of shit get to me. We're fucked. Turning me into the enemy. How the fuck am i supposed to react to that kind of shit.? The way truth, facts, even science are being replaced with lies. Its this kind of shit that blows my mind. How can you change the truth, or facts to fit your politics. The lie that Obama is Kenyan. A third of the country still believes that. I've realized that ideas or beliefs spread like a virus.

^^ I doubt it! I hate to be pessimistic but Some of you republicans have your head so far up Trumps ass that no matter what facts are given you reply with "but what about" or call us Snowflakes, libitards, etc! No room for dialogue...

Trump lies all day every day and some of you just turn a blind eye...It is literally mind boggling!

And it is not just democrats...Several Republicans (not in the house or senate) have come out against this president. Republicans for the Rule of Law and Checks and Balances are 2 groups I have heard of.

"One Republican senator told me if it was a secret vote, 30 Republican senators would vote to impeach Trump," he claimed, suggesting that the GOP lawmakers are concerned that voting against the president could harm them politically" Mike Murphy Gop political consultant

Being afraid Trump will tweet about them or lose their seat sounds kind of like a snowflake/pussy to me!
