I find it unbelievable that not one elected ReTHUG has publicly

stated that he/she believes in democracy and does not support an authoritarian ruler, a monarch and the US Constitution.

To suggest that Democrats and independents hate America for defending the Constitution, the rule of law and equality for all is a complete inversion of reality.
It is not only the wanna be fascist emperor who is naked here.
When they tell you who they are …listen.

I’ve been telling everyone me who will listen.
We don’t have a DJT problem we have a REPUBLICAN PROBLEM. From dog catcher to the Whitehouse, there is not one elected Republican that is not A-OKAY WITH THIS.: protecting pedophiles, destroying democracy and looting the national treasury.
Then pull out for a larger view… we have a BILLIONAIRE problem.

NO KINGS!

They will soon rename the "United States of America".........to: "The United Corporations of America"

or "The Corporate Tyranny of America"

"Citizens United" (2010) was the kiss of death for our beloved Democracy, AND for our Constitution.....

with our BILLIONAIRE problem, "They buy politicians to do what they're told and by golly
the politicians are doing just that, keep my name hidden or else" "Time we take their big
tax breaks away, costs a lot of money to buy a virgin from Epstein, they will still live
comfortable on a little less"

that this admin relies on militarizing the streets of our cities reveals that they know they are uncertain footing. While that's pro forma for authoritarianism, we must resist while it's still early days. The more we hesitate, the faster the dictatorship can grow.

Actually, a Fox News Virus would be more accurate.........I can hardly wait until the Republicans install Fox as The only State Sponsored Media in America...........

not at all, unlike PRAVDA in Russia.........

there was some Frenchman, who, at the time our country was just being founded, issued the following statement:

Has any reporter confronted them about their name calling? Have any of them noticed as their effing “both sides” argument has been beaten into the streets of Chicago? At least during Nixon’s administration the press was capable of being shocked by the events at Kent State.

was actually the start of a MAJOR push, starting when the Republicans treasonously installed Reagan as a pawn or front man.

ONE, of dozens of destructive things they did during that period, was: Destroy the Fairness Doctrine.......and that, as well as everything else done by them, has radically affected every U.S. Citizen today........

These NEW Republicans have utilized much of what Hitler did to monopolize complete power........One of the things Hitler did, was the take over of ALL Media......and here we are today, with 95+5 of ALL Media in the U.S. owned/operated by Uber Rich Republicans........Russia and other Dictatorships have done the same thing in their countries......Russia has PRAVDA, which is State (government) ownership of the only Media allowed......HERE, we have FOX News...................

14. Pedo Trump has always had a way of getting others

To do his dirty work. Part of it is bribes, part of it is threats and intimidations, but a big part is him saying anything they want to hear.

Look at all the crap pedo Trump promised during his campaign. He's done none of it. Look at all the things he denied he would do. He is doing all of it.

They think pedo Trump is a true believer of whatever wacked out ideas they may have. He's not even a true believer of Nazism and Hitler's ideology.

What pedo Trump is a true believer of is hurting people, making them suffer, revenge and hate. That's his true ideology. If it hurts someone or a bunch of someones and he thinks he won't be held accountable, then he's in. But he'll repeat any stupid idea if he thinks it will con someone into doing what he wants.

Money isn't even his goal. Born into wealth, there are and were hundreds of ways to make money legally and fairly. Instead he scams, grifts and frauds. That's not a true believer of making himself wealthy. That's a true believer in the joy of the scam, the cruelty, the abuse.

A royalist supports a particular monarch as head of state for a particular kingdom, or of a particular dynastic claim.

250 years ago they would have fought for the British Empire.
