I said he was a dictator, I didn't say anything about a party. You just inserted that. He is a dictator, now how far he gets in our democracy remains to be seen. But he's going to get us as far as he can.

He is like Putin. He has told us, point blank, that he thinks that Putin is a better leader than Obama. Putin kills his enemies and runs Russia as an absolute dictatorship. And the press is constantly under siege from him. There is no democracy in Russia, it is now a full-blown dictatorship. And this is a guy that Trump likes better than Obama.

Trump is a dictator at heart,, and you need to try and wrap your mind around that so that you can understand where all of our concern comes from.

This isn't party wrangling or defensiveness going on. We are talking about a serious existential threat to this country. Which I'm guessing you don't see?

>>>"Have you not noticed I am not the only one? Forewarned is forearmed."<<<

Unless the forewarning is false, as in this case. Instead it is a veiled attempt to inflame people, so as to promote your partisan ideology. It is placing party before country and agenda before principle. The country is not going to fall to a dictatorial regime; the so called forewarning is a transparent partisan rant and nothing more.

One of the reasons I insist on remaining unaffiliated is, when a person associates themselves with a party, a great deal of linkages get associated with simple ideas, some good and a great deal that is odious and dishonorable. No thank you ma'am.

Whatever we utter on these chat threads ripples through eternity ... beware.

>>>"Dictator."<<<

It is this kind of hyperbole that keeps me from taking you seriously. I have seen you make sense and carry on a decent reasoned discussion. However, these crazy, off the deep end rants, and exaggerated fear mongering are all too common. Surely you can see they contribute nothing but provocation to the right wingers. If you do see that, explain to me what good comes of it.
