In short, what you have in common with Whell is a willingness, even a need, to support and defend your favorite authoritarian. Birds of a feather ...

PS - Your comment about Hillary in response to an article about why Trump supporters still support him despite his manifest character flaws and rampant criminality was hardly self-explanatory. It was indeed brief, however.
Whell more than holds his own and you are more often than not obtuse in your responses to Dondilion. For me, your self righteous declarations of patriotism and freedom are a bit much considering the corporate military police state in which we Americans dwell.

I try for self-explanatory brevity.
As before, I hardly believe anyone can think as you do. We live in seperate cognitive universes. Your assessments are, in my view, intensely colored by political bias. Those who you feel are on 'your side' are not subjected to anything like critical thinking.

I can see self-explanatory, but I don't think the explanation is what you think it is.

My declarations are more about my preference for democracy over autocracy, something MAGAt's don't seem to share. And if it's self-righteous to defend democracy from autocratic threats and enabling lies from MAGAWorld, color me guilty. I'll continue to heap abuse on Trump supporters at every turn.

As for my obtuse responses to Dondilion, he has had many a post over the years demonstrating a strong admiration for Putin and what he has done in Russia, something he has cooled off on a bit on since Putin's bloody Ukrainian debacle. Now his support for Putin is a bit more guarded/coded. But I haven't forgotten.

As for the US being a military police state, I'll take issue with that having been to quite a number of actual military police states over the years including most of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union in the 1980's, some of our allied juntas in Central America at that time, Egypt under Mubarak and Kenya under Moi. We are a far cry from that though I'll readily admit that Trump, given his druthers, would indeed turn the US into a fascist police state if he could considering his frequent appeals to political violence and his statement about wanting to terminate the constitution.

Thanks D. That's the funniest thing I've seen here and a long, long time.

For starters I believe that Trump benefited exceedingly from the the tolerance and support shown to former president Clinton.

Trying to comprehend the minds of this seemingly strong man love cult. We are blind in understanding those who fail in feeling the pain and have compassion for others not like them.

They are enamored by bullies and yes even lairs grifters con men thief's and sex addicts have a place in their esteem.

Where the other major party a offender will voluntarily on a transgression accept blame and exit.

I support him because he simply got screwed by the establishment.

And, if you think the U.S.A is better off with a senile grifter at the helm then vote for him again. Sort of how it works.
