How many of you understand the USA just elected a (potentially) brutal dictator?

[nobody's_hero]

I understand that [a lot of people want us to believe] that we just elected a brutal dictator.

Frankly I don't care anymore. Maybe he will be, maybe he won't. It's not like Hillary would have been a humble servant of the people by comparison. But there's a lot of people on the forums that were so DEAD WRONG about things this past election season, that it's getting tiresome being told by them what we should believe, as if they have some crystal ball knowing what the future holds.

Hope is a good start:
We have 2 months before the transition of power, what can we do (mostly online?) to boost the Liberty movement while "regular, everyday people" are still paying attention to the ongoing drama?

Telling them they were stupid for voting Trump, and that Trump is the world's next Hitler. That will win you friends and influence.

REALLY?
Pro tariffs
Pro stealing others resources
Pro killing of "terrorist" families

Not aggression?

Unless he's changed his mind in recent weeks, he said Iraq was a mistake. And a number of other military misadventures as well.

That's what is called American Greatness, chief.

If you don't like, you can git out.

Poor Trump. It's so unfair to him what the protesters are doing.

 

[AuH20]

People don't understand Trump.

Yeah, it's totally fair to have your head beaten with closed fists until blood leaks out your ears because you are the wrong color or wearing the wrong t-shirt in the wrong neighborhood. You should see the sort of mindless destruction that these apish thugs are reaping in the cities, it might make you think twice before calling yourself a civilized human being while supporting such rubbish.

I'm sure Ron Paul would love the violence being perpetuated on the streets today as much as you do.

 

[robert68]

The guy is a clean slate, give him a chance. If he fails, it won't be hard to see.

Still think Judge Nap would be a realistic shot at the supreme court.

They say Ron Paul has a realistic shot at being Chair of the Federal Reserve.

 

[Republicanguy]

The difference is the way this Independent guy went about winning an election. That is what has worked up the Liberal folk.

I know that the Inauguration will be on lock down compared to W's first one, where riot police were on the streets.

 

[Republicanguy]

People don't understand Trump.

Well there is another way to look at that, be feared how? Be feared than loved, once a person is no longer liked or wanted they can be removed with little resistance as is usually the case with people.

 

[seapilot]

They say Ron Paul has a realistic shot at being Chair of the Federal Reserve.

If that is true that would be almost as good as him being president!

The worst thing is, they truly believe their actions are not wrong but encouraged and justified.

 

[Weston White]

I don't think even Trump knows his positions on much....

He's been on every side of most issues and campaigned on platitudes.

America gambled on the devil they didn't know over the one they did....

...And there it is.

 

[scm]

Unless he's changed his mind in recent weeks, he said Iraq was a mistake. And a number of other military misadventures as well.

So he HAS opposed it. But he still talks about it. like i said:
Pro tariffs
Pro stealing others resources
Pro killing of "terrorist" families

These are not "overseas aggressions" that he talks FAVORABLY about to this day?

 

[P3ter_Griffin]

Good lerd he said leaving Iraq was a mistake.

 

[Carlybee]

If he keeps aligning himself with neocons we'll have Dubya 2.0

 

[Carlybee]

They say Ron Paul has a realistic shot at being Chair of the Federal Reserve.

Who is they?

Although I want to ask how you define dictator, I'm actually going to limit myself to saying calm down. Reagan was Hitler, as were both Bushes. Policy criticisms certainly loom on the horizon, but until those decisions actually materialize, we can actually breathe a little easier. Foreign policy might improve. He's a wild card.

This.

On guns, the SCROTUS, on managed trade deals, EPA, climate change, Obamacare and federal regulations, we're in better shape.

On personal liberty, the surveillance state, copsucking...not good at all, but not substantially different than the opposition.

I was never a supporter and quite vocal in opposition along the way, that said, angelatc is right...breathe easier for moment and lets see where this goes.

I was one of those people, as wrong as could have been, and loud about it.

For the record I apologized and humbled myself.

Now, I am ready to take a wait and see approach, tempered with cautious optimism.

NH elected a solid GOP majority at the state level, including governor, which should guarantee passage of constitutional carry, so that's good, in spite of electing idiot Hassan to the Senate.
