Let me correct that for you.

YOU seem to be remembering things that never happened. There is also a name for this . . . liarliarpantsonfire.

Nobody EVER thought that Trump was or would be a dictator. That is not part of the picture. What IS part of the picture is that Trump wants to be a dictator and tries to act as if he is dictator.

Oh yeah, and he fails. He fails bigly.

massively untrue

many on the left said that trump was an extinction level event for democracy.

Gonna have to call you a bullshit artist.

While we're at it, please feel free to re-post any posts from this thread that said:

1) Trump IS a dictator (meaning this in a literal sense)

or

2) Trump WILL BE a dictator (again, meaning this in a literal sense)

Please do NOT bother with posts stating things such as:

3) Trump WILL TRY TO ACT AS dictator

4) Trump IS A WANNABE dictator

5) Trump THINKS HE IS dictator

what's interesting in the meantime is that the general view of Trump among his critics has changed.

It used to be 'trump is a tyrant'

now it is

'trump is stupid, ignorant and incompetent'

I'm going to say that is an improvement, and bodes well for the nation.

Go trump!

Yep. Both the Democrats and Republican Establishment were painting Trump as the next coming of Hitler. Many still are.

We're not going to forget that Trump used his his first pardon on Joe Arpaio.

And is ready to pardon his son, son-in-law and anyone else that may obstruct justice to help him.

And we see he is baiting a different childman who also has nukes.

And he uses his position to fan the flames of hate.

He tries to be a tyrant. He really does.

But that damn Constitution has too many checks and balances written into it, even if some get exploited (like the advise part of where the Senate will advise and consent on a Supreme Court nomination).

But he seems to be making money on the gig through his properties and any fees people may be paying to get into his ear.

So Trump actively supported Strange, and Moore won.

This proves:

1. Trump is NOT a dictator. Trump supporters have a mind of their own. Trump's supporters will NOT do anything he says. All the liberals who said that were wrong, again. All the fear mongering is crap.

2. Trump's support is based on ideas, not Trump. It is a loosely defined ideological political movement that has no loyalty to any one man, and that's a good thing.

3. Even if liberals manage to take out Trump, the people who put him there will remain, and they will continue to fight against the swamp.

1.) The fact that Bama republicans crammed themselves into a reTardis and traveled back in time to 1965 to elect a proud theocrat and bigot does not negate Trump's authoritarian tendencies in any way. His supporters WILL do anything he says, just as long as what he says is anti-liberal in nature. Luther Strange is to the left of Roy Moore (who would fall off the edge of the planet if he went any further right), so Trump's support for Strange failed this key test.

2.) Yes, it's the big ideas Moore brought to the table that made him stand out. Such as "being gay should be illegal", "muslims should be barred from holding office", and "there should be no separation between the state and my particular brand of extremist, pseudo-Christianity".

3.) Obviously. This is a point liberals have been making since Trump first came on to the scene. It never ceases to amaze me that the people complaining about "the swamp" also believe that corporations are people, money is speech, and ethics laws are big government red tape.

Was that wrong? That POS should have died in prison himself? Nice work, Joe!

LOLOLOLOL.

Do we need any more evidence that this man is literally a piece of human garbage?

The only thing preventing him, so far, are the institutions in place to constrain him. That's all.

Who knew government was so complicated? You apparently.

+1. Scary but accurate.

dude, republicans LIKE trump's divisiveness. No, they LOVE Trump's divisiveness. They feed on it like hungry piranhas feed on a dead goat. They LIVE for it. That's why they go to the trump rallies, that's why they scream 'lock her up' etc

seriously...you want to rethink this?

Totally agree, but the Trump rally nuts) aren't that many. It's the many marginalTrump voters who will disapprove. This WILL work out poorly for Trump in the end.

Thus far, this hasn't been working out well for Trump. Latest polls show a very noticable approval decline in the wake of his NFL tweets.

Trump is waiving a specific shipping law to help get supplies to Puerto Rico.

That's a good thing.

(I can point out when Trump does positive things)

took the monster 8 days to do it

Yeah, we kind of wasting time focusing on anthem protests because of his tweets while people were starving to death over there.

wrong conclusion.

remember that Trump is the first president who seeks to divide the nation, not unite it. Trump doesn't give two carps what Dems think of him. He did the NFL thing to firm up his red meat base after he lost some of them with health care. The repubs love the NFL thing. Look for his approval ratings among repubs to go up when released next week. It's already at 81% - I'd expect that to jump a bit. The NFL thing is a big win for Trump.
