Give this some thought when you see protesters standing at the side of the road, displaying signs to show their outrage with the current administration. It was not the current administration that allowed 12-15 million people into this country without approval. The strain to provide services such as medical, protective, educational and social will get worse while veterans continue to sleep on the streets.
Sadly, Kenneth, those who participate in these protests have been convinced, either through years of indoctrination in one of the many Liberal institutions of "higher learning", or the constant manipulation of social media algorithms designed by the very same young people who have been indoctrinated, and the overwhelming drumbeat coming from a pletheror of Liberal media outlets.
In their minds, America is a terrible place built on the backs of [fill in the blank of your favorite "oppressed" group], unworthy of any type of loyalty. They would have you believe the concept of national identity, sovereignty, and borders is akin to xenophobia and racism. They think a month of Pride is more important than a day of patriotism, recognizing Veterans, our flag, or our independence.
Lastly, there are more than enough emotionally damaged people who project how they feel about their parents toward any type of perceived authority.
To quote Ronald Reagan, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
On top of your delusions about why people are protesting against Trump's authoritarian regime, the stupidity of quoting someone about our freedom's being precarious while supporting the guy who's trying to take them all away is astounding. Get a grip on reality.
"Authoritarian Regime"? Yet there is nothing you can point to that Trump is doing that he didn't say he would do while running for President. He is doing the very things that he was ELECTED TO DO. Looks like democracy at work, to me. The other 2 Branches seem to be working just fine. So where is this "authoritarianism" happening other than in your mind? You still think it's about the man. It's not, it's about the agenda.
You might take a look in the mirror when it comes to having a tenuous grip on reality. Your refusal to accept the results of the last election, the rejection of the Democrat policies, or the mandate to stop the direction the Country was headed, is papabal.
Here's another quote for you: "Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed."
They say ignorance is bliss MEPD, so you must be very happy.
I don't care what Trump said on the campaign trail, I care what he's doing. Just because he was elected doesn't mean he had a "mandate". He won a narrow victory in the popular vote, and a much smaller margin of victory in the Electoral College than what Biden stomped him by in 2020. There is no "mandate", there was no "landslide". I have never denied he won the election in 2024. Have you ever admitted Biden won in 2020, or do also parrot your dear leader's Big Lie like you do everything else?
Do you remember how Trump tried to disavow the Project 2025 agenda? How he claimed he didn't know anything about it? Does that even ring a bell with you? Do you understand he's running the playbook from that?
There are certain fundamental things that are signs of authoritarianism; attacking democratic institutions, hiring unqualified friends and family members for government positions, demonizing anyone who opposed you, and tries to brainwash everyone into believing that only they are speaking the truth. In a democracy, attacking the system of checks and balances as Trump has is another sign of a desire to be an authoritarian.
Trump is guilty of all of that and more.
"The other two branches seem to be working just fine"???? Really? Neither of them is upholding their Constitutional responsibilities, they are abdicating them and allowing Trump to do whatever he wants. I'll be writing a letter about that topic shortly, read it and learn something.
Yes, the American voters chose Trump...out of ignorance and believing lies. The Democrats should be ashamed of their incompetence. Losing two elections to a completely unqualified buffoon like Trump isn't a good indicator they know what they're doing, or understand the American voter. They have to stop thinking American voters are complex, nuanced selectors thinking deeply about policies. We have proven we are not that, we are simple people that refuse to take the time to fact-check what we're being told, and will believe almost any lie we're told if it fits into our narrative. Trump's simplistic slogans, though idiotic and false, resonate with people who don't bother to learn the facts. The Democrats need to speak to the American voters in the same way, minus the bigotry, racism, misogyny, and xenophobia.
It is about the man MEPD, MAGA is a cult led by one man. As many people strewn by the wayside, the most recent of which is Musk, can tell you, there's no room for attention for anyone else. There is no "agenda" with Trump, there are only knee-jerk biases that have led him to adopt the Project 2025 agenda. He can't comprehend a complex or nuanced thought, which is why he's such a disaster with foreign relations.
The quote you ended with is pure projection, just like most of the moronic MAGA claims.
You've seen the facts repeatedly, you'd just rather stay with your dear leader in your cult.
American voters are lashing out at Trump, many of whom voted for him, because this is NOT what they expected from him. The protests speak for themselves as evidence of the highest level of discontent ever for a US president, which is why he has the lowest approval rating of any US president at this point in his term. That's known as a fact MEPD, no matter how inconvenient it is for you or your dear leader.
