Do you agree with him? Do you think the probability is accurate?

I found out while ago that new yorkers are fleeing to red states, like Florida. New York seems to be sinking into poverty, criminality, ilegal migration and loads of liberalism. So, what Ray says should be taken into much consideration, imho.

What do you think, dear american? Are you planning on fleeing to another state too or maybe another country? Many of your folks already made up their mind about it knowing that the ship called the USA is irremediably sinking (thanks to democrats and also a bit to republicans, I've got to say).

Probably. There are about as many people brainwashed to think Trump is Hitler as Confederate soldiers were brainwashed to think black people should be property. It's near unavoidable.

Trump isn't as smart as Hitler.

Hitler and other Nazi leaders used existing laws to destroy German democracy and create a dictatorship. Trump will do that too.

"What we have witnessed from Trump over the last few weeks is something new," said Robert Jones, founder of the Public Religion Research Institute, or PRRI. "Trump has clearly crossed into the domain of Nazi ideology openly."

Poverty is good. Anyone can simply choose not to do crime or just fight crime through peace. I dont care if migrants are there. But yeah, I guess liberalism is just unacceptable.

The best way to destroy liberty is to vote for the party of authoritative laws.

They talk about the failures of anarchy, but where is the success of government in USA, Russia and Japan?

"German democracy and create a dictatorship. Trump will do that too." And how is what we have now any different than a dictatorship? The hallmark of a dictatorship is no accountability . How is anything govt does now held accountable when it fucks people over and spends the country into oblivion? What could Trump do that would be any worse than now?  No one in govt is accountable for anything.

Well, he could do more of same.

Besides, wouldnt it be great if USA was anarchy? That way, you wouldnt have to pay taxes. Just pay some voluntary donations to military if you want.

Eh by definition, more of the same isn't any different than what we have now. The statement stands Trump couldn't do any worse. Not much further down to go, A bankrupt nation involved in 2 wars. Illegally to.  The US govt is dropping bombs on countries with no declaration of war. That is an act of war by the US govt and a war crime by the President. And don't even think of calling it a "police action".
