Outlandish? Maybe. But show 1940 Hitler to people in 1930 and they wouldn't have believed it. As a planet, we are better off without Donald J Trump as president of the United States. If thats the result of an election, great, but if its the result of a deadly virus either, thats fine too, particularly one he has been so negligent around, both personally and as leader of a huge nation.

If somebody disagrees with you on, say the optimum strategy for reducing homelessness, or at a more banal level, the proper direction of a local traffic one-way system, then they are "The LEFT" and bear responsibility from everything for welfare fraud to the Gulag camps to the Camobidan genocide. Because that's the way they roll in bipolar democracies like the US and Britain. And look at the dire series of choices they leave themselves with!!! The fact that most sentient beings in the western world are pinning their hopes on an elderly avuncular handsy old buffer who would make a lovely (if slightly inappropriate) grandad as being the only person standing in the way of an ignorant, xenophobic, capricious, impulsive, narcissistic, racist stooge gaining an extra four years tells you all you need to know. Thank God we have a better system.

Call me cynical but this is a total lie in my opinion, Trump is willing to spin any yarn to redirect peoples' attention in his favour. He's playing social media, the media and the American people like a fiddle especially if they believe this fabrication, Fake news to use his own mantra. Guarantee you he will be perfectly fine by the second debate. Trump is a desperate man capable of any underhanded manoeuvre to gain momentum over his opponent. Biden can capitalise on this but needs to be careful how he does it.

Every half-arsed dictator will be spooling up their armies knowing the US is effectively out of action for at least a week. What a testament to the worst Presidency in history - the sheer carelessness of it all.

They look down on Trump supporters and call them stupid.They also look down on minority groups, want to keep them on benefits rather than empowering them to help themselves. If I were looking for white supremacists I'd start with those people who think they are better than anyone else. Those people who dislike democracy when it doesn't go their way.

If you're not drinking the kool-aid of cultural indoctrination... the gloves are off. Nothing is off limits, and you must be destroyed at all costs! The mask of equanimity slips rather rapidly, when faced with someone like Trump! :pac:
