How will you vote?

Trump. Didn't last time, and there is a lot I do not like about the guy, but watching the left over the last few years and now the past few months makes we want to go around puking on every single one of them, but voting is the best I can do on a relatively limited timetable. Won't matter as I'm in Illinois, but vote I will.
 
Awwwk
Straight red ticket, my vote will go to a few RINOS but better than a looney demoquack
Of course you are going to vote for your pussy grabber. You'd vote for Chester The Molester if he had an R after his name, you hypocritical turd.

And yet you support a known sex offender in Biden. If you didn't have double standards, your would have no standards at all.
You are mistaken. trump is the sexual deviant, not Biden.
Awwwk, Awwwwk! Libber Polly Parrot wanna cracker! Awwwk!!!
Another moron with nothing to say is heard from.
Seems like he pretty much PEGGED you and summed you up in just a few words! But then, how many could it possibly take?
 
i'm voting against the fascist & straight (D) down ticket this time around.
Fascism is a lefty organization started by the national socialists in Italy. So you are voting against the D??

LOL!!! ^^^ what pablum ^^^

donny has fulfilled all 14 tenets of fascism.


Political scientist Dr. Lawrence Britt recently wrote an article about fascism ("Fascism Anyone?," Free Inquiry, Spring 2003, page 20). Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism. The excerpt is in accordance with the magazine's policy.


The 14 characteristics are:


  1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
    Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

  2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
    Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

  3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
    The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

  4. Supremacy of the Military
    Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

  5. Rampant Sexism
    The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

  6. Controlled Mass Media
    Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

  7. Obsession with National Security
    Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

  8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
    Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

  9. Corporate Power is Protected
    The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

  10. Labor Power is Suppressed
    Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .

  11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
    Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

  12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
    Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

  13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
    Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

  14. Fraudulent Elections
    Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

The guy who has an avatar he claims is incest is proclaiming himself the expert on sexual deviation. Huh. Yeah, sure you are
Hey dickhead, you might want to run that by your messiah’a sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, who has been recorded on tape stating the following:

“Ivanka is a mini-Donald, but he’s besotted with her. He always has been”.

be·sot·ted
strongly infatuated.

Example:
"he became besotted with his daughter"

Oh, wow, you found a relative who would say shitty things about him. That MUST mean something, because no one else in the COUNTRY has relatives who shoot their mouths off with nasty gossip. *eye roll*

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm close to my brother, so I just have to accept his thin skinned ding bat insecure wife.

She and her sister hate each other. My brother and I like to kid around. Neither of us takes it seriously. But she can't abide hearing my brother and me make jokes about each other and reacts the way she would to her sister.

I joke my brother is old because he has a full gray head of hair. I'm five years older, but I look younger than him and I only have gray sideburns. The rest of my hair is as dark as it ever was. So I joke he's older now, he had more birthdays and passed me. He is NOT sensitive about his age. But she gets all upset and just starts saying truly nasty things to me. I do not push him to stop her. He's made clear to me what she says is inappropriate. I don't want to cause problems. I don't like her, but it's not a big deal to me. My brother is the youngest and he's not used to standing up like that. Ironically I have the wit she doesn't and I could slice and dice her. But I don't for my brother.

So yeah, when Trump's leftist wacko relative talks shade about Trump, I react like you do. Big deal? Not at all. We all have one.

BTW, she's a big lefto. No surprise there ...

These sisters-in-law are actually the wives of my brothers-in-law, my husband's brothers. His brothers are gigantic dicks, and my husband thinks so at least as much as I do. The oldest, we'll call him Jack, was in his twenties when my husband was in his teens, and their last contact with each other before their mother died was Jack telling my husband that he was going to Hell for playing Dungeons & Dragons. Nasty religious nut. His wife is just like him.

The youngest, we'll call him Jim, is a social-climbing elitist snob who married a gold-digger. 'Nuff said.

Both of these douche nozzles left my husband and me to care for their dying mother for a year without offering a speck of help, then swooped in at the funeral to try to take over and show off how concerned and important they were. Neither was amused to discover that their mother knew EXACTLY what they were, and left almost everything to my husband. That was the last we heard of either of them.

    Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

  14. Fraudulent Elections
    Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism, by Lawrence Britt, Spring 2003
Looks like the DNC platform to me.

you funny.

delusional.... but funny.

Oddball doesn't accept the inherent truth of leftism like you do where good = Democrat and bad = Republican. It's easy to see the DNC party in this when you remove that constraint
 
i'm voting against the fascist & straight (D) down ticket this time around.
Fascism is a lefty organization started by the national socialists in Italy. So you are voting against the D??

LOL!!! ^^^ what pablum ^^^

donny has fulfilled all 14 tenets of fascism.


Political scientist Dr. Lawrence Britt recently wrote an article about fascism ("Fascism Anyone?," Free Inquiry, Spring 2003, page 20). Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism. The excerpt is in accordance with the magazine's policy.


The 14 characteristics are:


  1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
    Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

  2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
    Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

  3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
    The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

  4. Supremacy of the Military
    Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

  5. Rampant Sexism
    The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

  6. Controlled Mass Media
    Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

  7. Obsession with National Security
    Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

  8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
    Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

  9. Corporate Power is Protected
    The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

  10. Labor Power is Suppressed
    Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .

  11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
    Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

  12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
    Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

  13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
    Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

You're a whack job. Oddball is none of those.

Ironically you demonstrated my point that you're a simpleton who thinks Democrat is good, any good word applies to Democrats. Republican (by which you think means anyone who's not a Democrat) is bad. Any bad word applies.

You just did exactly that.

Did you know that words have meanings beyond "good" and "bad?" Sorry to blow your mind so early on a Friday morning ...

Awwww awwwk! Libber Polly wanna Donny propaganda cracker awwwwk!

propaganda? hardly. each & every one can be backed up with CONcrete examples.
The only concrete any of you libbers can find is between your ears
 
I voted for businessman Donald J. Trump in 2016.

I agree that in many ways he has acted like a jack*ss during the last four years.

I would consider voting for the Democratic candidate except that I have been offended by (a) the Dems' four years of hyperbolic hysteria, (b) the impeachment, (c) the lies of the media, (d) the craziness of Hollywood "celebrities," (e) the BLM Insurrection, and (f) the Dem presidential choice of an obviously mentally and physically frail elderly gentleman. (I recently saw an old clip of Mr. Biden speaking as Vice President. His current deterioration is obvious.)

So I shall go down with the ship and vote for President Trump. Bless his little heart!
