The US is trending towards authoritarian government under Trump

[ElmerMudd]

This would be a good post, but there is just one thing wrong. You are blaming the wrong political party and group. It's the Democrats that have screwed this country over, and they ushered in every fearful bad thing that you claim is not destroying the nation or challenging the very foundation that it stands upon. They are, and they won't stop until they change the nation into an unrecognizable undesirable place. NYC is finding out fast. California is living hell right now.

Open your closed fricking mind. This thinking, by some on the right and some on the left, is our biggest problem.

Who are "your people"?

“My people” in this context would be the 17th Century Northern European immigrants who came to this country and tamed the wilderness of the eastern shores of North America.

You attempting to use the alledged past of a current president, and then doing so in order to justify the leftist sick agendas, and to justify the undermining of this nation is as bad and twisted as it gets.

Are you shitting me. His immorality comes out daily. How about today, threatening to kill 93 million people. Has a world leader ever threatened such a thing. You have to have morals and ethics to see what Trump is doing is immoral.

We have done it for 248 years until Donald Trump took the Presidency and would only hire yes people. Then he tried to destroy Judicial and legislative checks on his power.

There was deep divide in political leanings with the founding fathers but they were smart enough, mature enoug, to find a way to come togethe to form our government.
The problem is not a particular political party. THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMISTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM WHO REFUSE TO COMPROMISE. You are one.

Extremists be damned.

I believe it is our political parties giving the Executive Office too much power, and each Presidency it continues. I understand presidents need to get things done, and frustration over Congress but we have a system in place and we follow it.

Hyperbole as Trump has always done and not ever carried out.

Good, authoritarianism is more effective and stable compared to the messy degenerate clown car of democracy.

 

[Marener]

No it's not equivalent to the do nothing priors, because he has exceeded all expectations in trying to battle back the Democrats for 77 million voter's who had had enough of the deranged Democrats..

You’re delusional.

When are you going to understand that the nation had reached critical mass, so a character like Trump who isn't afraid to challenge the deranged domestic anarchist was definitely the exact man for the job ? His accomplishments are to many to list at just a year+ after the election. He isn't done yet, so the gnashing and whaling will continue with the radical Democrats. They can only blame themselves for Trump, and that's a fact.

You must be young and a low information voter. WW2 saw terrible destruction and death, and yet it ushered in a peace that has lasted for generations since. Just admit it that you are a coward that is afraid to help your fellow world citizen's to tackle an issue that threatens an entire civilization....Now go cry in the corner.

Depends on the condition of the populous. In the 1800s President Lincoln had to take extreme measure in order to reunite the union under a one nation under God with liberty and justice for all banner.

George Washington had to lead men to victory against the mighty Brittish empire, so it isn't like the President's haven't had to go to the extreme in order to bring this nation back together again in the past.

All you have to see is the Trump administration backing of Orban...

Orban is in the pocket of Russia and China... China support him because he tries to veto all European legislation to curb China.
Does the same for Russia with Ukraine...

Orban is very corrupt. The richest man in Hungary is a a former pipefitter and childhood friend of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Get that!... That is pure corruption. It is so bad EU has withheld funds to help Hungary that is now at 19bn euro...

Orban has also consolidated the Media under his control.

Any US conservative would have nothing to do with him.

Sunday's vote will be interesting...
