Designing Woman
A) an American politician getting physical with an overly aggressive reporter
B) seeing a grown man get battered and crying about it instead of defending himself?
For rational people, the answer is "B" and it's not even close
Unfortunately, the way society is going, this may well become the norm in my lifetime
Thoughts?
None of the above.
What is most shocking to any decent human being is that you would think that such behaviour is not the very description of fascist behaviour.
The current attempts to demonize and attack the press in the US is the end of your Republic.
When you wish to turn a democracy into a dictatorship, you censor the press, by violence, if necessary. And your kill the opposition.
I have seen many posters on this board call for killing liberals. Saying that the US won't be great again until liberal scum are wiped out.
I've watched your President tell dictators and kings that civil rights don't matter, and heap praise on a despot for allowing roving bands of vigilantes to shoot drug addicts in the street.
Your same President bullies his allies and literally shoves them aside.
And the Republican Party reveals their total corruption by saying nothing about any of it.
