Starting a thread about the role models of Democrats, dismissing the Democrats who oppose the role model of the Republican Party?
This is the only President with a mug shot on file in a police department. This man is a convicted felon,
and we have to read Republicans dissing Democrats with no criminal record.
You praise this man who tells you that you are winning when you aren't, but just as long as he disses the Democrats, you guys think he's doing great while he is robbing this country blind.
“We were at our richest from 1870 to 1913. That’s when we were a tariff country,” Trump has declared, revealing his nostalgia for an America where oligarchs accumulated vast wealth while the masses struggled in poverty, where women couldn’t vote, and where Jim Crow laws ensured white supremacy remained intact.
This conception of power is devastatingly wrong and dangerous. In Trump’s worldview, might is measured solely through domination: tariffs, walls, military threats, economic leverage, and the unchecked authority of the executive branch. His fantasies about seizing Panama or purchasing Greenland reveal a colonial mindset where sovereign nations exist merely as potential American acquisitions—trophies for his ego and extensions of a twisted imperial vision. This approach not only reflects a backward 19th-century understanding of power but abandons the very sources of American influence that have made us a genuine global leader for generations.

This is YOUR role moel. An idiot. The classic example of how white male mediocracy is allowed to have power and control when more qualified people of color or women should be in the same position. A man who sits on his --- talking about how other countries send criminals over here while he is a criminal himself. And you Republicans eat it up just as long as you think he is owning the libs. But he isn't because his approval rating is:
As of February 2026, Donald Trump’s approval rating is roughly 38–42%, with disapproval around 55–62%, reflecting historically low support for his second term.
Trump is not owning the libs. He owns YOU.
THIS IS YOUR ROLE MODEL.
A criminal heading a corrupt, lawless regime.
and we have to read Republicans dissing Democrats with no criminal record.
Making America Powerless Again: How Trump Is Robbing America of Its Greatest Strengths
Donald Trump fundamentally misunderstands power. He is not playing chess; he is playing a reckless game of Jenga with the foundational components that actually made America great. With each ill-conceived move, he pulls out another critical block from our national structure, destabilizing the entire edifice while claiming to strengthen it. His vision for American greatness is anchored in a historically dishonest version of the Gilded Age—a period he explicitly admires, when he believes “we were at our richest.” It’s no coincidence that this era represented the apex of white supremacist control following Reconstruction, when newly enfranchised Black Americans were systematically stripped of their voting rights and democratic participation.“We were at our richest from 1870 to 1913. That’s when we were a tariff country,” Trump has declared, revealing his nostalgia for an America where oligarchs accumulated vast wealth while the masses struggled in poverty, where women couldn’t vote, and where Jim Crow laws ensured white supremacy remained intact.

While Trump fixates on the symbols of 19th-century power, he systematically dismantles the infrastructure of 21st-century American influence.
