I agree, Trump because of MEGA and Project 2025, puts the USA as well as its decomercy at great risk of becoming obsolete. Republicans appear to be becoming brain washed. If they only watch media that support Trump, with the current conservative rulings justices on the supreme court have made about president's being immune to prosecution.

I see I made a typo that escaped my proofing and would like to correct it for clarity:

As written: Why are those who are not white/white males deserving of these same goals and rights?

S/B: Why are those who are not white/white males NOT deserving of these same goals and rights?

Regarding MAGA and their Make America Great Again, I ask this...is the America of slavery, white supremacy, child labor, women with no rights and no vote, genocide (indigenous peoples), hatred and fear of those not white, rape and pillage of the land and resources, round-ups of those who are not of our whiteness (and so much more) what you want to go back to?

Or...should we be Making America Great here and on the world stage for everyone? Why are those who are not white/white males deserving of these same goals and rights? What makes the white male so superior? NOTHING. (I cannot believe how many non-whites and non-males believe the BS coming out of maggot (MAGAland) land...indoctrinated (brainwashed) they are).

I say to all...we all know what the right things to do are, love and respect. Let us make America great!

For another time, let's discuss the militancy of the Christian Right and the separation of church and state. After all, Christianity is only one of several religions/philosophies in the world and our country was founded on the premise of this separation to avoid religious persecution and ensure the freedom to worship and believe as we see fit. Christian, or any religious militancy, is not for me or our country.

Let us make America great and show those here and around the world how to do it the right way.

I have been painfully aware of the fascist segment of the Republican Party for some time (several years) and agree fully with your statements about Trump and his maggots (MAGA). Not only is he losing his mind, what is left of it anyway, but he has always been a wannabe dictator.

The similarities of the path we are currently on and the path Germany was on during the rise of the Nazi Party are frighteningly similar. One does not need a crystal ball to see where we are heading...a fascist state complete with SS troops and the Gestapo. Are we ready for that? Is that where we want to go? Are we ready to sacrifice everything to be ruled by this piece of human excrement? HELL NO!

As I read recently, MAGA members/believers have been successfully indoctrinated by the fascists and no amount of reality, the truth, or common sense from outside their cult will sway them and/or change their minds. This is how Germany was lost to the Nazis and we all know what came after the loss...are we ready to have our friends and loved ones jailed, tortured, and killed? If the maggots (MAGAs) come into power this is a highly probably outcome...we have been warned by history and those who ignore these warnings are doomed to repeat that history.

Do we really want a President who is fixated on revenge? Do we really want to be ruled by an elite group of tyrants? Are we ready to snap a fascist salute and cry out "Sieg Heil". What would our parents and grandparents say...and all of those who died or wounded fighting WW2 to end the Nazi regime? Trump and his minions are of the same beliefs as those our nation and our people fought and died to stop not that long ago...were all of those millions of lives wasted?

We were warned by Benjamin Franklin about how fragile and challenging it would be to keep our republic...are we listening? Are we going to give away to the fascists? It is our choice and that is shown by voting for those opposed to fascism...

DOWN with the fascists! Long live democracy and freedom!!

Trump and the lawmakers that follow/back him are the CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO OUR DEMOCRACY. PLAN2025 IS A FACIST, AUTOCRATIC BLUEPRINT FOR THE END OF OUR DEMOCRACY and PERHAPS THE BEGINNING OF A CIVIL WAR.

I've been calling Trump a FASCIST and NAZI for 4-5 years now and virtually NO ONE hardly noticed! The mainstream media began using FASCIST about 6 months ago. Too little and too late! Trump and the Republican Party's goal is to establish a REPUBLICAN DICTATORSHIP forever! If not Trump, there will be another WHITE-SUPREMACIST, FASCIST, CHRISTIAN (? (MALE(?) in his place!! Most whites especially white MEN(?) are EAGER for Trump to win(?) so, they can finally have their "MESSIAH!" (I'm a 76 y/o, WHITE, MAN and Retired Air Force Vet, so I can CRITICIZE whites). These people(?) are clueless about how TRUMP does NOT care about them. Like all DICTATORS TRUMP ONLY CARES about HIMSELF and getting REVENGE on his "enemies." TRUMP'S INSECURITIES, INFLATED EGO, and NON-EXISTENT SELF-ESTEEM and HUMANITY scare him even if he can NOT describe these FEARS and WEAKNESSES!! Most Americans do NOT remember or know that Italian Dictator Mussolini created FASCISM in early 1930s and HITLER adopted it and mixed with NAZISM!! Should Trump STEAL/WIN election "WE the PEOPLE of AMERICA" will OPPOSE and FIGHT TRUMP and his FASCISM and FASCIST MINIONS by EVERY MEANS NECESSARY, we WILL NOT ACCEPT or SURRENDER to any TRUMP or REPUBLICAN government at ANY LEVEL!! SHARE WIDELY if U DARE!!

The truth about the danger that our nation faces in this election is difficult to fully grasp and confront, but it is clear that our freedom is at risk, and the threat of rampant violence is real. May the sensible people of the country arise to defeat the threat and preserve the democracy we enjoy!

I'm NOT convinced that most Americans realize our HUMANITY, COUNTRY, DEMOCRACY, FREEDOMS. CONSTITUTION. RIGHTS are at stake in the Nov. election! The FASCIST, REPUBLICAN SCOTUS INJUSTICES declared TRUMP "ABOVE THE LAW" no matter what the legal mumbo-jumbo says! MEGA-RICH, WHITE-SUPREMACIST alleged CHRISTIAN MEN have been SCREWING over 99.9% of AMERICANS since DAY 1!! WE the PEOPLE of AMERICA" MUST begin the process of taking back America NOW!!

Trump wants what’s best for himself and doesn’t care about the people. He must be voted out or this will be the biggest mistake that ever happens to America and it could be very difficult to change back except by revolution and war. People need to wake up & wise up before it’s too late!!!!!!

The GOP has been festering into Un-American Fascism for a couple decades now, as neo-con was just a nice word for fascist. The Filthy Rich Un-American Fascist overlords that own the GOP and bribe them to do the wrong thing every time do not like the Constitution, people voting, pollution laws, judges that are not corrupt, women choosing, smart kids, and are basically BAD FOR AMERICA. Take from them..

Biden has a constitutional, moral, and ethical duty to defend the constitution from all enemies, domestic and foreign. He has been given explicit permission to take action, even extralegal action to accomplish this by the corrupt 6 on the supreme court. Accordingly, it is incumbent (pun intended) for Biden to arrest and hold without habeas corpus ALL of the participants in the ongoing coup d'etat attempt. This would include the corrupt 6 on the supreme court and their wives, drumpf and his family, Barr, Stone, Flynn, all the lawyers involved, all the congressional members involved, both house and senate, all the republican state attorneys general who helped file challenges to the 2020 election, and the oligarchs who have been financing this attempt to impose a fascist government on us. Well the list goes on, doesn't it. Voting will NOT fix this problem because the oligarchs are paying to subvert the election in numerous ways, and they've stopped trying to hide their actions. The republican party is a terrorist organization which actively promotes violence to resolve political differences. The republican party advocates violence against women and children, promotes misogyny, racism, white nationalist theocracy, and wants to destroy all the safety nets in America. They do not believe in the common good, only what's best for the rich masters. Biden has the obligation to put these people in prison. That's what actively plotting traitors deserve. NO legal recourse, no appeals, just lock them up. Then we can go about repairing our democratic institutions.

Ever since Trump too office took office, I was waiting for him to say something antisemetic. Well, I didn’t have to wait long. Despite the fact that Trump’s daughter converted to Judaism, he still said insulting things about Jewish people, and then he brought Steve Bannon into the White House. He is openly antisemetic, & a fascist.

Exactly. Who is next? He seems to only like dictators. He better not go after any group but especially not the Jews I would hope we would never tolerate that! I am not Jewish but one thing I have never understood is antisemitism! It makes no sense ! And Trump had better not go there!

Of course it doesn’t. Judaism is the third largest of the major religions, if you count all the Christian sects together. Thanks to the laws dictators put in place to suppress Jewish people by not allowing to own land, forcing them to live in confined areas, ghettos, and larger regions like the pale of settlement, forced them to take up professions like diamond cutting. It is easier to run from place to place if the tools of your trade a relatively small and uncut diamonds don’t appear to be valuable. We also kept up our education, remaining literate, and continuing our traditions. Our oppressors forced up into the professions they now despise up for. We had no choice but to go into white collar professions, like sales, banking, and fine jewelry.
