Is this what America has come to?

in #news6 years ago

Sadly it is starting to sound like it.
Sort:  

If you vote an absolute cock for president, expect a rebellion off the decent people?

You're happy with a dictator wannabe, @ozphil (like Hitler he attacks all the checks on his authority)? A probable traitor (remember the meeting about the poor little Russian orphans?)? Arguably, the pettiest twit leader the world has ever seen?

And what about all the times he advocates violence? You're ok with that?

I know it can be horribly hard to admit you're wrong but surely the American people could have found a better racist to vote in for their leader? (If a racist is what your country needed in their eyes.)

So you do not like Trump.

Does that make the statements in the Video ok?

Of course, not. Ordinarily. But when you elect the biggest joke of all time as your leader - who uses the exact same tactics, don't forget - what should we expect? What did he say to get his supporters frothing at the mouth, 'that he could shoot someone on some American street and still get away with it'? Maybe a joke but certainly not the kind of joke a fully hinged person running for office should be making and then there is the argument he was testing the water, seeing what he could and couldn't get away with with his precious base. Someone DIES getting run over at a protest and it's, 'well there's good and bad on both sides, isn't there?'.

The opposition and their support were hardly the ones to lower the bar in the first place, were they now?

Trump is a monster. Pure and simple. A fat odious toad monster. And a lot of otherwise respectable people will be hoping to see his demise, asap, through whatever it takes.

I am so sorry that you have bought into the lies about Trump so thoroughly. The time will come where facts will come out that will show undeniably how, in spite of whatever warts Trump has, that he is battling true evil.

I've bought into lies? Is that your way of saying you're a racist (just not a proud one)?

Vote away your healthcare if you want. Those 'tax cuts' must have made you filthy rich, I'm guessing.

This is a non sequitur fallacy, not worthy of response.

Think what you will, but if you decide to turn that post into an argument I might address it later.

Also, didn't Trump just get five journalists killed in Annapolis? He did call the MSM 'enemies of the state' several times. All it took was a wacko. America's full of them. And Trump knows it.

And its about to get a whole lot more hysterical. They just lost the public labor unions, the tantrum will be monumental. Now how will they even stage women's marches and fights for 15?

To the question in your title, my Magic 8-Ball says:

Outlook not so good

Hi! I'm a bot, and this answer was posted automatically. Check this post out for more information.

It's quite the sad statement on just how radicalized some have become in the US.

Only by shining the light on these extremists will they be able to be dealt with appropriately.

A lot of people simply don't appreciate fascist dictatorships.

"There's lots of good people on both sides." SMFH

There are far fewer evil people out there than would likely be imagined by the damage the evil brings.

Like the Star Wars force analogy; the dark side brings people to power quickly, but the light side is more powerful overall. Which is why all it takes for good people to win out against evil is to stand against it.

There will come a time in the not too distant future where the entire prospect of republican vs democrat will seem like a quaint memory. It is NOT an issue of right vs left nearly as much as it is good vs evil.

Which is why all it takes for good people to win out against evil is to stand against it.

'All it takes' Lol! Very simplistic, your statement, there, eh? We could say that about Hitler and WW 2 or we could say millions of people died prematurely because of that twat who certainly took some stopping and was winning the war for the first few years (at the very least).

There are NO guarantees that good will win the day in the end. None whatsover. There's been many a brutal regime that has committed mass genocide. And there will almost certainly be more to come.

Left / right and good / evil? Aren't they equivalents respectively anyway? And I'm not sure you should be comparing the film Star Wars with the rise of fascism in the USA. Personally, I'd say good and evil is different for everyone but essentially we're all somewhere on that continuum. When you say there's not that many evil people, I would probably agree but by the same token there are a fair few nasty people on the planet not that far from any acceptable definition of evil I could imagine.

Yes, it really IS that simple; to think that once evil grows and takes control that it would not involve a battle with casualties.

Good always wins; and even where evil manages to win the battle, evil is destructive and burns itself out allowing the good to rise up again.

No, left / right are political leanings. Good and evil are more like forces of nature, growth and destruction, entropy or extropy. Star Wars DID highlight the growing fascism in the western world. "This is how liberty dies.... with thunderous applause."

In terms of numbers, an estimate I like to use is the 10-20-40-20-10.
10 are good / evil and embrace their choice.
20 are good / evil but don't realize that they have made a choice
40 can be swayed one way or the other for different causes, but don't really think about it one way or the other.
(The numbers are arbitrary, but the point is that it's very few that are deliberately evil)

You could do the world a favour and not vote / reproduce, you know.

And your numbers? Let me guess you have no idea what you're on about and therefore they're totally meaningless, essentially.

You know, it's kind of funny because I had a feeling you had the type of Tolerance of, "believe what I do/say or kill yourself." Yet worried about fascism, do you see the irony?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh the fucking irony.

I'm a fascist because I wish racist imbeciles would wake the fuck up.

The allies were fascists during WW 2, yeah?

Face it...

You presumably hate non-whites just as you hate women.

I'm guessing there's a pathetic religious angle to half this nonsense but as religion's for nits we really don't need to go there.

I don't like America, never really have. But I certainly don't like Russia.

You support a CARICATURE of a man. A man almost certainly indebted to mother Russia. And I'm under the impression you're American.

If you want to rip your country apart, you're on the right line, I guess. The EU (as the third party in this equation) will have to adjust. Hardly a big deal.

I just hope a bright guy like your good self gets to avoid the gulags when they get opened.

You've seen what he's been doing to immigrant kids lately, yeah?

Accept you're not a good person and fix things from there?

And maybe you could enlighten me as to why the clown needs all his rallies? Is he the President of America or just the President of the Republican half-wits?

The far left & far right, ah... our weak minded get brainwashed so easily...

I see the video was a real conversation starter . . .

Didn't someone famous once say "can't we all just get along"
