Well I guess because America is a failing nation, according to him, he might have to be a dictator for a little longer just to "fix it all", right? Don't you know how this works? Never read a history book?
Is that like a funny thing to joke about ? Do you know how many people have died protecting freedom and democracy ? How many Americans ? Anyway have fun with it if he wins. You’ll find out. Our family are refugees from the Soviet Union, so enjoys your “jokes” and stubbornness to read the signs. Vote wisely is my advice.
It was actually a reference to executive orders being dictatorial. Both BHO and JRB have referred to them that way when convenient, the used them liberally (sorry/not sorry) once they were able to.
Some of JRB’s first actions were executive orders that undid a lot of DJT’s border security measures, for instance.
Is it "No, I have never read a history book" or is it "Yes, I have never read a history book" ?
Near as I can tell you leapt to the arrogant and presumptive position that I had somehow never read a history book.
If it helps I read a A Short History of the World (1922)* H.G.Wells back in about 1974 or so .. and a few hundred others since.
While I appreciate your unsolicited advice here and the spirit in which you offer it it does rather appear to be directed at somebody entirely not me.
Perhaps you're prone to rush into responses without engaging any thought or contemplation?
* That and his The Outline of History weren't too bad for 1920|1930's British PoV History, not definitive nor authorative but not too shabby - Arnold J. Toynbee defended them along the lines of decent for the general public.
Hitler, armed with his newfound celebrity, began furiously campaigning. During the 1920s, Hitler and the Nazis ran on a platform consisting of anti-communism, antisemitism, and ultranationalism. Nazi party leaders vociferously criticized the ruling democratic government and the Treaty of Versailles, while proselytizing their desire to turn Germany into a world power. At this time, most Germans were indifferent to Hitler's rhetoric as the German economy was beginning to recover in large part due to loans from the United States under the Dawes Plan".[1]
" while proselytizing their desire to turn Germany into a world power.", to "Make America great again".
Does this sound familiar to you? I guess you think I'm being hyperbolic but honestly, there is a LOT of similarities with these two stories and the messianic following Trump has.
Why do you think anyone telling the level of lies he tells, and taking the actions he is taking would just joke about "being a dictator for a day". He acts in bad faith, permanently. He lies endlessly. He isn't planning to just be a nice old funny president, that's for certain.
Sorry but I could only assume you're unfamiliar with some basic history if you think Americans need not be concerned or this is some unique situation in history, this is fall of the Roman Empire level stuff, it's happened hundreds of time before. It's started to look like the only outlier here would be if he somehow loses and is fired form his position in the republican party.
