With all due respect: Why did 72 million Americans vote to reMAGA? (A thread for healing.)

Sorry your mom is a fascist bro.

Norton is Joseph McCarthy though so it all works out in the end.

He's more Noam Chomsky: prolific opinionator.

4.5 years ago, yall laughed at me for saying that it shouldn't be discounted that the russians hacked the DNC and that the Trump Campaign had too many ties to russia.

3 years ago, yall dismissed me for calling trump a fascist and an authoritarian.

Now we got a sitting president trying to use his office to overturn 3-4 elections where he clearly and convincingly lost..... and Lithy wants to call me a McCarthy.

Authoritarianism is first and foremost a personality type.
Fascism is first and foremost a political-economic-social system.

People shouldn't be so offended with me for implying or expressing that they support or enable Authoritarianism or Fascism.

Instead of passively writing me off, they should confront (OR EVEN EMBRACE) their inner self .

I am pretty sure that you're a reason that Lithy comes here.

Me? not so much.

I'm gonna need some citations here.

I guess it is true that we've never really clicked as adversaries.

Can you get poppy to come back?

I’m seriously beginning to wonder if Trump really does believe he won the election and is the victim of some kind of statist conspiracy.

I doubt it. I think it's just that his life experience so far has consistently reinforced the idea that cheating rather than losing works.

 

[GohanX]

I'm not sure. His narcissism may not allow him to believe that he possibly could have legitimately lost.

The pre-election Frontline bio on him was really good, he has used the courts throughout his life and career. It's just his MO.
