Donald Trump, the New Right, Law & Order and Fascisim

[Wry Catcher]

Well folks, we've seen the coronation of Donald J. Trump as the new leader of the Republican Party. The once and no more party once known as the Grand Old Party is IMO no more. Lincoln, IKE and even Nixon have been tossed under the bus as a new generation of faux Americans have taken the lead of what was once a progressive party for good.

Do you believe Trump is the best man for the Job, or that a vote for Trump is a way to prevent another Clinton in the White House?

Take this little test, for a little bit of thoughtful exercise. You can keep you score to yourself, or, post it. I was found to be 17% Authoritarian, how about you?

Thanks, but I not interested in a tissue, maybe you like to share how you came out in the test? It is interesting, though I have no data to prove its validity or reliability (of course the two things necessary and mostly sufficient in determining the value of any test). But just for fun, I'd guess you would score in the upper 80's on that test, about the same as you would on the Stanford-Binet Test.

These are the results of the Right-wing Authoritarianism Scale.

Your score for right-wing authoritarianism was 92.05%. Higher scores indicate more right-wing authoritarianism.

Right-wing authoritarians want society and social interactions structured in ways that increase uniformity and minimize diversity. In order to achieve that, they tend to be in favour of social control, coercion, and the use of group authority to place constraints on the behaviours of people such as political dissidents and ethnic minorities. These constraints might include restrictions on immigration, limits on free speech and association and laws regulating moral behaviour. It is the willingness to support or take action that leads to increased social uniformity that makes right-wing authoritarianism more than just a personal distaste for difference. Right-wing authoritarianism is characterized by obedience to authority, moral absolutism, racial and ethnic prejudice, and intolerance and punitiveness towards dissidents and deviants. In parenting, right-wing authoritarians value children's obedience, neatness, and good manners.

That's mine.

Trump doesn't want to be president. He wants to be Queen. That's right. You read that right. The Queen of England is a greatly revered figurehead who they trot out with all the grandeur and pomp they can muster whenever needed. That's the kind of job Trump wants.
He has no desire to deal with the day to day problems of a president and has already offered that part of the the job to vice presidential hopefuls. His son told John Kasich that he could be the most powerful vice president ever, and be in charge of domestic and foreign policy, if he would just get on board the Trump Train. Fortunately Kasich had too much integrity to accept. When asked what the trump would be doing after allocating all his responsibilities to others, the answer was "Making America great again". Nobody knows exactly what that means other than being the equivalent of the British Queen.
He bought McConnel's blessing by agreeing to let him chose any Supreme Court Nominees, and to let him have a free hand on things like abortion, so the donald really won't have anything to do but be a figurehead. He can wear a big robe and ride in an old ornate carriage when called upon, but leave all that messy governing to someone else.
Report: The Trump campaign asked John Kasich to be the 'most powerful vice president in history'

Like more proof of the obvious was needed.
No wonder you live in a trailer.
