If he can be something other than a regional candidate, then I could see him exploiting economic or international distress to get the needed edge. He is not objectionable so far except for ideology... but he might be the perfect vehicle for American fascism. He reminds me of characters leading the vile Norsefire regime in V for Vendetta , which has a fascistic Britain in which the regime offers faith as a substitute for happiness and rationality. That sounds much like the American Religious Right. If America has not graduated away from the near 50-50 split between authoritarians and liberals, then some rough times could cause many independent voters to think that he is onto something --- much like the case in 2016 on behalf of Trump.

PB, which group of authoritarians is flexing its muscles and using its power and authority right now. It's not us, we are waiting for moral/legal justification to begin asserting our  power and authority right now. Who is imposing social restrictions right now? Who using its power and authority to address social inequity now? Who is banning who right now? Who is targeting who right now? Who is trying to threaten and intimidate who right now? Me, I'm letting you know what's going to happen to a group of partisan twits when the gloves come off. I figure that I'm morally obligated to inform you and the others  in advance.

The sorts of people who believe that he who owns the gold makes the rules.  

Quote:Bob and Eric are right, we are authoritarians too. The difference, we don't have an interest in ruling and controlling the entire country. We have an interest in keeping a portion of the country free (American). I'd say the chances of Americans killing Democrats in another war over freedom is very likely right now. Me, I don't live in a heavy blue area. I'm not dumb enough to live in an governed by a bunch of left wing lunatics/idiots. I live in a purple area where a lot of people have the means to protect themselves, their property and the community if necessary. I live in an area where competence matters and incompetence is frowned upon and replaced.

By saying that you are a Democrat one says that one has as much claim to be an American as a Republican.  Murderous violence in the name of America is as absurd as fornication in the name of chastity. The means to protect oneself?



Welcome to the Sundarbans (the jungle in the Ganges delta infested with man-eating tigers) should you be a burglar, mugger, or rapist. A German shepherd can be a wonderful friend, but I wouldn't want one of them, let alone several of them at once, as an enemy. Pound for pound these fellows are stronger than tigers.
