Democracy as we know it would end, I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. It would become something new we don’t recognize and it will be bad. He has not yet been able to indulge his most demagogic and authoritarian impulses.

American civic culture is important. It is what makes America different. It is what makes us special in the world. Trump has complete disregard if not contempt for it. Both other Republicans and Democrats have harmed civic virtue before, no doubt. But no one ever like Trump. Trump will squash like a bug, readily and eagerly, what has set America apart since it’s foundational time. He’s just waiting for the chance now to go all out.

What fucking evidence do you have that trump has “contempt for civic culture”? The only thing Trump has contempt for is people who fuck with him.

The Dems didn't nominate a "wokeist" ticket. Bernie has failed twice, like Hillary, and Biden (centrist) picked California's top cop (Kamala) as his running mate. Just because they say "Black Lives Matter" doesn't make them radicals.

You're as deeply delusional as any wokester and believe this is an almost religious sense, same as they do. That what you believe is all good and what they are trying to do is all evil.

Biden is going to be less divisive, will be more effective in creating bipartisan cooperation, will expand healthcare access, will raise taxes on the very wealthy (a good thing) and will not constantly complain like a mentally ill freak about "fake news" and picking fights all day. Trump doesn't know how to govern. He knows how to run a real estate company (kinda), but not the United States.

So bring on the woke left?

someone with some actual principles, like Tulsi (who I do not like, being a conservative) might actually stand up to the mob and say "no" if they violated something Tulsi holds dear. Kamala doesn't hold anything dear except her own desire for self-glorification. an unprincipled sociopath pandering to lunatics is the second most dangerous combination (second only to the leader themselves being a dangerous lunatic)

President on neo-nazi march: "good people on both sides"

President on QAnon: "I don't know much about them, they seem to like me. They seem to love America, they love our country. It seems to be gaining in popularity."

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4607412&forum_id=2).#40790472)

you're being dishonest

fact of the matter is there were some non-neo-nazis protesting against removing the statue or whatever in charlottesville. Trump wasn't commenting specifically on the neo-nazis when he said there were good people on both sides. he was acknowledging that you don't need to be a neo-nazi in order to think the anti-statue jihad is a bad idea.

also go back and note how he brought up tearing down statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson as the end result of the anti-statue jihad. He was laughed at and mocked for this at the time. Now consider what's going on right now. Maybe if you're a little less dishonest and look at what's happening in the world a bit more you can get your head out of your ass and stop being an enabler of the violent left wing mob.

So it wasn't the neo-nazis marching with torches and murdering a girl, they are "bad" Trump realizes, but the other people protesting with them, they're "fine". Got it.

2) there were some regular people resisting cancel culture and protesting a statue getting taken down. these were the fine people Trump was talking about.

3) the neo-nazis did their attention-whoring neo-nazi thing, and the media spun the protest activity as being all about neo-nazis, and lied repeatedly about who Trump was referring to re: fine people. you are apparently credulous and believe this spin.

Trump: "Well, I think the driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family, and this country. And that is -- you can call it terrorism. You can call it murder. You can call it whatever you want. I would just call it as the fastest one to come up with a good verdict. That’s what I’d call it. Because there is a question: Is it murder? Is it terrorism? And then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer. And what he did was a horrible, horrible, inexcusable thing.

There were patriot militias that were there and decidedly separate from and against the neo-nazi protests

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4607412&forum_id=2).#40791669)

Have you even bothered to read / listen to Trump's remark and look into this issue independently of someone explaining everything to you?

There were essentially 4 groups out there - a free speech group protesting a confederate statue being taken down who wanted it put somewhere else, a group advocating for that statue being taken down, a neo-nazi group, and an antifa group who went out to counter the neo-nazi group.

Read Trump's remarks for yourself - he said there were good people on both sides, then specifically clarified that he wasn't talking about the nazi group they should be condemned obviously

What reason do you have to think QAnon is dangerous in any way? Do you honestly think they'll be able to gain any sort of popular backing in the public?

Your anxiety here is representative of everything that is retarded about the modern media landscape - BLM protests, riots and antifa riots have caused violence in the streets, deaths far in excess of any single year's worth of unarmed black victims being shot by police, hundreds of millions in property damage / destruction / people's livelihoods ruined (disproportionately minority businesses) , antifa groups are rioting and assaulting people practically on a daily basis, the violent crime and murder rate has spiked 10-50% in most major u.s. cities (especially ones with high proportion of blacks)

Trump wants power and has no core ideology

So what?

Trump is not deforming anything. Only the Fascist Democrats and their Jewish owners are fanatically trying to deform the US into a fully totalitarian mock-democratic terror-state internally and externally. If Biden wins because he didn’t collapse holding a prepared speech, the US deserves to be put to sleep like a rabid dog.

“Authoritarian” is a word libs like to throw around about Trump when it’s libs who seek their own authoritarianism.

Dems have leaned hard into identity politics. They're also delusional about Russia. The constellation of Dem podcasts is turning their minds to mush.

They are painting the previous constitutional order as racist, and thus illegitimate. That is what the 1619 project is.

DC statehood will be a huge problem. It is an obvious power grab and changing of the rules. But Dems will say it is about race.

GOP will object. They will regard any legislation passed with a DC vote as illegitimate.

Then you have a crisis of authority.
