He's already said he's basically going to be 10 times worse if he gets reelected. I'm not sure why the people who support him think that's a good thing. For a party that claims to love "freedom" they sure seem desperate to elect a fascist dictator
Freedom for me, chains for you. They don't actually care about real freedom.
They are sure the Leopard will never eat their face.
Yup. They think Daddy Trump is going lock up all the liberals and create a ~~facist~~ conservative paradise.
They love the freedom to own slaves and stuff like that
You'd think after he didn't pardon the people in person that stormed the Capitol they'd smarten up. If that didn't open their eyes, nothing will.
Why didn't he pardon everyone who committed crimes for him? Is there a good reason?
Because he doesn't care about anyone but himself. If you gave that dude an organ he'd ghost you.
Right, but if he wants people to break the law for him, pardoning everyone who does makes sense
Why? They did it without the pardoning, and he walked away with his hands "clean" by not acknowledging what they did.
Personally I think it's funny seeing these people get time in prison, screaming for Trump to acknowledge them and pardon them lol.
He didn't want the folks who would pay him to suddenly believe they didn't have to pay, or be ticked off that they were having to pay (remember, rich folks can get snippy). I can't remember the number that was floated, but it wasn't cheap.
He believes they are supposed to go to jail for him to prove their loyalty. He really thinks he's a mob boss or something
Hey, as long as they can stick it to the libs
There are several different groups supporting him for different reasons. The biggest, I'd argue, is the slightly right very populist. They're not into fascism per se, they just want a wrecking ball like Trump to go in and break apart the elite institutions they blame for all the problems and see no other way of influencing. There certainly are supporters who are encroaching on fascism territory. Then there's long time Republicans who have flipped on a bunch of issues to try to get support from these people Trump activated.
Fascism is a president trying to take away constitutional rights like genocide Joe is with the second amendment and limiting gun rights. Trump has already said he won't get involved in any foreign conflicts, which is far better than funding Israels genocide.
Just ask yourself who you're going to have more rights under Trump or Biden, then you'll see who the fascist dictator is.
It's Trump. He's essentially already said he wants to be a dictator. He's started calling his opponents "vermin", he's stated on the record that he's going to deploy the army on day 1 of his reelection to suppress any dissenters.
It's not subtle
He's going to destroy America so he can keep being the center of attention and make it illegal to disagree with him
He's going to exchange love letters with Kim Jong Un again, isn't he?
Better than the warhawk us establishment continuing the forever war
There's a certain document called the constitution that gives Americans the right to assemble and to free speech that not even the president can fuck with.
Are you more scared of a fascist president who's intent on limiting your natural rights or trump because he said a scary word like vermin.
You're honestly following too much left wing media, a more balanced approach to how you consume news will open your eyes up to what factors you need to consider before voting next year.
I'm referring to things that Donald Trump has actually said openly on camera. It's literally all he talks about. It has nothing to do with who's reporting it, these are the actual words Trump has said.
I'm not particularly a leftist, I consider myself to be a centrist. I don't particularly love Joe Biden. That doesn't mean I'm going to go out and vote for a cartoon super villain though
For funsies, in the same statement (iirc), trump said their "sad, miserable existence will be crushed." But you're right, nothing to worry about /s
My balanced sources say Biden has so far been significantly better than Trump ever was
Wait... so the Constitution will stop Trump from enacting his fascist agenda but it won't stop Biden from taking away The Precious?
Haha, you think presidents can't change constitutional laws.
The great constitutional rights of living in a country where schools have to debate whether to run active shooter drills.
Man, even disregarding the whole gun control debate Trump isn't pro-gun, the suckers just believe what they want to about him.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376097-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second/
But sure, Biden is the anti-second amendment guy. People like the person above are just fools.
"Noo that's different he means black people!" - that guy, probably
That was Reagan as CA governor when he cracked down with gun laws due to Black Panthers protesting while armed.
Trump hasn't said the truth about one thing his entire life.
Ok. I will. This is Biden's plan, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
Weird, because that article talks a lot about Trump.
In fairness, it's not Trump's plan, either, it's Heritage's. They're doing it for Trump, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Trump has never even heard of it. Lol
He's had meetings with Heritage on how to implement the plan. They are already in the process of lining up his appointees so that they can hit the ground running. You are badly misinformed as to how far this has already gone.
With Trump him sitting in meetings still doesn't mean he's heard of it. Lol.
Anyway, I'm just saying Heritage is the mastermind, not Trump.
Trivia question: Which politician has proposed "suspending the constitution" in recent years?
Hint: It's the same politician that said "take the guns first, go through due process second.”
Another hint: Trump said both those things.
I will have more rights under Biden. There's more to rights than guns. Like as a gay man if I lose my right to exist, that's a bit harsher than my right to own something.
