I am so conflicted… On one side a serial tax dodger, rapist and traitor running with a literal puppy killer (and proud of it) and on the other side and older president who follows the law…
What emerged in two interviews with Trump, and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world.”...
Yea that’s exactly right. Hecklers, protesters are all part of a healthy democracy. It’s good that not everyone gets in line and feels like they can be heard.

No. Because I may be wrong, and I have been wrong.
Others are needed. As long as they are honest and not the current showboating clowns that call themselves the GOP.
We need honesty. That is how a democracy functions. The whole, “We are in this together.” thing and honest discourse.
No one person or ideology can achieve this, because they are blind to the truth. Look what ideology got us with respect to climate change, gridlock after gridlock. It has nothing to do with an authoritarian regime, it has to do with a rampant amount of dishonesty.
The issue with any single regime is that it requires one version of thing, over time even if that thing becomes untrue, which most things do. Every single authoritarian regime suffers from a need to stay in power regardless of the ground truths. That is why massive centralisation of power usually fails in the face of ground realities.
All he is saying is don’t underestimate Trump. He has a track record of getting away with everything so vote and be vocal about your opposition to MAGA.
“I’m talking about the way throughout his entire life he’s been able to pull shit off and get away with it,” the “Bowling for Columbine” director said. “It is an amazing record. You know the record. I’m not going to run through the whole litany of it … You know the whole list, and he’s gotten away with it. You must marvel at how somebody that stupid is that smart when it comes to the performance of his evil and his ability to never have to pay for it.”
Moore, who famously predicted Trump’s upset 2016 victory in a HuffPost blog, forecasted that Trump will be able to kick his legal problems “down the road” before the big day in November.
“The only thing that can save us is ourselves,” he said. “We are going to have to mobilize.”
It should be noted that Moore has said Trump is smarter than us previously. Still, Moore has made it very clear what he thinks of the former president.
“[Trump] may be an idiot and a bigot, but he’s also an evil genius (with the emphasis on genius),” a part of the “Rumble” episode’s synopsis reads.
As The Root pointed out when allies of the President started circulating fake A.I. photos of Trump with all of his Black friends, the President remains unpopular with Black voters. Support for Biden has decreased somewhat among Black voters, but there’s no evidence that there’s a mass exodus to Trump land underway....

Exactly this. Already there is a strategy and accusations of “Bangladeshi immigrants” all over the country. Guess what? How do you prove you are not from there when you are poor as shit, are now allowed to communicate (Police will beat you damn near to death), have no paperwork cause you are poor as shit or had poor illiterate parents?
Sonny, you eat meat, you are Muslim, believe it or not, straight to jail.
