And brainwashing the elderly. Such a slimeball. He peddles fear based on his sponsors and his "books".

Well yeah. That’s what fascists do. Are we surprised?

[–] Treczoks 8 points 1 year ago

Just like the Nazis did. Anymore questions about where Trump and the GOP are heading?

Of course it's horrible and fascistic to declare you're planning to use your power to lock up political opponents, as opposed to letting the justice system play out.

...but if appropriate decision makers can prove actual wrongdoing in a court of law, I have no inherent qualms with Donald Trumps political enemies being prosecuted.

I don't think many people are pro-corruption so that's fair, but Trump is insane. He isn't pursuing justice he wants revenge.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 7 points 1 year ago

He's a freak of nature.
