All due respect, you clearly do NOT understand Americans.

Even if Trumps ideas had a chance of working, they would not in the 21 months that he needs them too. I've helped bring up manufacturing lines. It takes a long time and that's in buildings already set up for it. If the building has to be built or completely retrofitted, not a chance in hell...

First, Trump is a special case as he has pet insults for everyone so I think tossing them back at him is fair game. Second my Trump name calling is rare and orders of magnitude less than your dumb slurs.

I answered your question just not in the way you want. It was also before your current yes/no format. Still better then you avoiding questions. Like when are you going to explain how great Trump's tariffs will be?

You mean like you just engaged in name-calling with President ELLECT Trump??

You mean like that???

:eyeroll:

For the record, you DIDN'T answer my question.. So you lied when you claimed you did..

What part of YES/NO answer ONLY did you not understand??

Wow, you can lie and call people names. Talk about American hating and unpatriotic behavior...

Ahh yes, your old standby lie..

Claim to have already answered which allows you to not answer..

Coward..

I am not a registered democrat and as much as you spew this bs you have not backed it up. Who said it? I have not...

As to [22] I already answered those questions. If you don't remember the answer, then, oh well...

So can I get a definitive YES/NO answer now??

IS President ELECT Trump the second coming of Hitler??

IS President ELECT Trump a fascist?

IS President ELECT Trump going to destroy democracy and cancel elections??

Yes?? Or No???

My personal stand is once the government is no longer a constitutional republic run by the rule of law with free and fair elections, my social contact with said government ends.

According to you and your Democrats, that had already happened.

According to you and your Democrats we now have a fascist Hitler taking office in Jan of 2025..

So, yer social contract is gone..

What ya gonna do about it??

If Dems don't learn the right lessons about their election defeat in this presidential election cycle and they keep doing things the way they have been, year after
year after decade after decade and they keep talking non-stop about Trump over the next four years to the virtual exclusion of the really existential issues for people, then they will have gone a long way toward increasing the downward spiral of the country as opposed to working to swing the pendulum in a better direction.

Exactly..

It goes to what I said in #18 above..

If Democrats refuse to look in the mirror and consider the very real possibility that they are wrong, they will continue to lose elections.

Oh sure.. They might chalk up a win or two in a battle here and there.. But they will eventually lose the war..

perhaps, but what about michale's point that republicans after abolishing the filibuster might then establish permanent one-party rule and restrict democratic elections? i don't think it would really go that way, but can we discount the possibility?

It could very easily go that way..

Suppose Democrats HAD been able to get rid of the Filibuster when they controlled the White House, the Senate and the House.

They could have rammed thru amnesty for illegals and viola'..

20 Million fresh "Americans" who don't understand anything beyond Democrats are giving them free money and will always vote to keep their Sugar Uncle in power..

A HUGE voting block that will continue to grow as Democrats open the borders even wider for a constant supply of fresh slaves for the Democrat plantation.

And THAT is why Democrats are so desperate to get rid of the filibuster...

You honestly don't see how that could happen??

Why not??

it's just a statistical fact.

Yunno, we go thru this every time Democrats get creamed and it's all so pointless..

It's not ya'all's MESSAGING that is the problem.. Ya'all plaster yer "messages" out to the general voting just fine..

The problem is, the problem that ya'all REFUSE to accept as factual is that AMERICANS DON'T LIKE YOUR MESSAGE..

Democrats are getting their message out just fine..

AMERICANS simply don't LIKE the Democrat's message.. AMERICANS simply don't WANT the Democrats' message..

Until ya'all learn that one simple, yet crucial fact, ya'all will continue to lose elections..

Put another way...

I was on record for the last few months saying that Democrats SIMPLY CAN'T WIN in 2024. I said it when Biden was the candidate and I said it when Harris was the candidate.

If I HAD been wrong... If Harris had beat President Trump with such a HUGE Margin in both the Electoral Vote and in the POPULAR VOTE...

If THAT had happened?? I would be seriously looking in the mirror right now and saying to myself, "Self?? Yunno.. Maybe *I* am wrong.. Maybe it's MY politics that are the problem.."

You and your Democrats are simply INCAPABLE of doing that sort of deep self-reflection..

And THAT is why America is a Center Right (or maybe closer to Right Center) country..

Until such time as you and the Democrats can accomplish that sort of deep self-reflection. Ya'all will continue to lose...

But to self-reflect to the level needed, ya'all will have to overcome your PTDS and your Trump/America hate..

And THAT will likely never happen in my lifetime..

If Dems don't learn the right lessons about their election defeat in this presidential election cycle and they keep doing things the way they have been, year after year after decade after decade and they keep talking non-stop about Trump over the next four years to the virtual exclusion of the really existential issues for people, then they will have gone a long way toward increasing the downward spiral of the country as opposed to working to swing the pendulum in a better direction.

What's most annoying (to me, at least) is the undeniable fact that Democrats are unquestionably the party that even dares to proposed things to make working-class families' lives better.

I know what you mean. Ahem.

Maybe it's time, at long last, for Dems to start thinking about how to counter the success of the Republican cult of economic failure in leading voters of ALL stripes astray. Hint: it ain't rocket science!

perhaps, but what about michale's point that republicans after abolishing the filibuster might then establish permanent one-party rule and restrict democratic elections? i don't think it would really go that way, but can we discount the possibility?

that's just false. individual voters are not stupid. however, voters as a group collectively are ABSOLUTELY stupid.

it's just a statistical fact.

Democrat governor breaks with party in commending Trump for tapping RFK Jr to join Cabinet

Democratic Colorado governor commends Trump for nominating RFK Jr. as HHS secretary

Gov. Jared Polis said he looks forward to 'partnering with him to truly make America healthy again.'

Ya'all need to get off yer Trump/America hate PTDS kick and start helping President ELECT Trump to make America great again.

Don't ya'all WANT to help yer country??

And ta think there were actually people who actually BELIEVED that Harris could actually WIN this election!!!! :D

There is simply no logical or rational case to be made that Harris EVER had ANY possible chance to win the 2024 election...

I would not say something is "impossible" if I'd written blog posts three days in a row doing it. Not a complaint but an observation. :)

Democrats lost it over it.

But, you shouldn't treat voters like they are stupid, either, because they are not.

Senator Sherrod Brown also knew how to talk about the economy and the significant differences between Democratic and Republican economic policy. And, ironically, he didn't get re-elected.
