@WyIted
Does it not give you pause that the guy you support to be the President of the United States feels the need to "be facetious" about whether the country he is running to lead will remain a democracy beyond his reelectionI think his policies are more important than his sense of humored
What policies would that be?

@Sidewalker
What policies would that be?
Having some level of border security. Abortion in states hands so people can self govern, guns being legal but with sensible restrictions. Using some form of protectionism so American workers are protected. You can also see that Israel as soon as Trump was favored to win is now talking about seize fires and Ukraine and Russia are ready to stop the bloodshed and negotiate if he is elected. So I also support world peace

Trump has said countless evil things, but his followers just ignore it.
No, you delude yourself into thinking innocuous things are evil.
That was actually a secret recording..true. And he was publicly bragging about sexually assaulting women. Just because he wasn't intending to be recorded doesn't make it less publicly said.
If by "publicly" you mean "privately" and by "sexually assaulting" you mean "hypothetically consensually touching", and by "bragging" you mean making up clearly exaggerated generalizations.
So I took his statement to mean that if he gets elected he will give them all their evil desires during his 1st term
Yes but you're nuts.

What policies would that be?Having some level of border security.
Trump killed the strongest border security legislation that’s ever been proposed, his “policy” is to weaponize it, not address it. He talks the BS, but the fact is Trump’s border policy was less effective than Obama or Biden. In his first term Obama deported 3.2 million illegals, in his second term 2.1 million, Trump only deported 2 million illegal immigrants. The Biden DHS is removing 3.5 times as many people per month as the Trump DHS did. Trump doesn’t do it, he just talks about it, he made it about racism and hate, what MAGA likes is that he did it in the most unethical and cruel way possible, they don’t care about results, they care about cruelty and hatred. MAGA doesn’t really care about an effective border policy, just making it about racism and hatred is good enough for them.
Abortion in states hands so people can self govern,
More BS, the vast majority of Americans did not want Roe vs Wade reversed, when Trump saw the backlash he made it about state governing, but that is not what he wants, Trump and Vance have made it very clear they want a national ban on abortion, “self-govern” is BS window dressing, for MAGA it’s about misogyny and minority power over the majority.
guns being legal but with sensible restrictions.
Nonsense, after repeated mass shootings, Trump weakened America’s gun laws, he made kids and communities less safe by systematically gutting existing sensible restrictions. Trump illegally narrowed the definition of “fugitive from justice” that’s used to determine who’s barred from buying a gun, and then illegally purged 500,000 records from the federal background check system, and slashed funding for state programs to upload necessary records for background checking. He blocked the implementation of the law that would restrict gun ownership by people who had been “adjudicated as a mental defective” or “committed to a mental institution.” He also stopped any attempts to restrict assault rifles and bump stocks. There is nothing “sensible” about MAGA fanaticism, they do not want any restrictions on gun ownership.
Using some form of protectionism so American workers are protected.
You mean making American workers pay more for goods through tariffsthat effectively takes money from American workers and gives it to the federal government. Trump is one of only two presidents inhistory that had fewer Americans working when he left office than were workingwhen he took office. He spent four yearsweakening unions, providing tax giveaways to the wealthy, stacked the courts withjudges who want to roll back our rights on the job. He made the American workerless safe at work and he gave big corporations free rein to lower wages andmake it harder for workers to stand together in a union. Trump broke his campaign promises andinstead, failed the American worker, all he really did was feed MAGA racismwith rhetoric about China.
You can also see that Israel as soon as Trump was favored to win is now talking about seize fires and Ukraine and Russia are ready to stop the bloodshed and negotiate if he is elected. So I also support world peace
LOL, oh yeah, Trump wants to allow Putin to conquer Europe, that’speaceful, he pulled out of the nuclear accord with Iran making nuclear war morelikely. In well over a hundred years ofit’s existence, the World Peace Foundation has only named one US President tobe a “Threat to World Peace”, in their unprecedented statement they referenced Trump’s “contempt for human rights, includingexplicit embrace of torture, bigotry, misogyny and Islamophobia” and his “expressedcommitment to militarism”, and his “His readiness to retaliate against thosewho criticize him” as very serious threats to world peace.
Hitler promised world peace, Mussolini promised world peace,and Trump promised world peace, that’s what Fascist dictators do, but it’snever anything but hollow words for mindless followers who know it’s a lie. Trump wants to be a “Strongman” dictator, andfor that he needs weak men to follow him. MAGA is morally, intellectually, and ethicallyweak, he controls them by appealing to their baser instincts of racism,xenophobia, and misogyny, that’s why hesays “I love the poorly educated”, because knowledgeable voters see through hisrhetoric and lies. His message of “Putin is your friend, and your fellowAmericans are the enemy”, only appeals to the weakest people who are morally,ethically, and intellectually bankrupt, MAGA is excited by his angry andviolent rhetoric, it has nothing to do with “policy”.
MAGA isn't about policy, it's about a "feeling", Trump reached in and grabbed weak people by their anger and hatred, he makes weak people feel strong with violent rhetoric and promised cruelty towards the people they hate. That's how I knew you wouldn't have anything to say about "policy", you don't know shit about policy, you just know his rhetoric makes you feels good.
@wylted
He is talking about doing such a great job that it will make most people republican when they see all the good he has done for the country.
This is the right wing argument. The left wing argument is Trump is saying voting won't be an option due to Trump becoming a dicator. But what is his plan to make the US better? It's easy for a politician to say, "Vote for me because I want to make this country very great for everyone in it!", but it's a lot harder to come up with a plan to get it done. Without the plan, it's a platitude (with the right wing interpretation). The left wing interpretation is it's Trump signalling to everyone that he wants to end elections.

The number crossing is a bit more important than the number deported.
More BS, the vast majority of Americans did not want Roe vs Wade reversed, when Trump saw the backlash he made it about state governing,
Now he has always been pretty clear that it should be a state issue, and if you notice the Supreme Court also agreed and said that it should be a local issue and not up to the feds to legislate
Trump is one of only two presidents inhistory that had fewer Americans working when he left office than were workingwhen he took office
Don't be a jack ass. You are full aware democrats shut down everything after covid and did not let people work

@Sidewalker

I depends on the premises used to justify those beliefs.
However I would say it is also a feeling when people paint with a broad brush to paint things like border security is xenophobic.
For example you most likely oppose strong border security because things like building a wall sound xenophobic to you, so instead of looking at the best arguments for a border wall, you just base your belief on the feeling that it is xenophobic and have the knee jerk reaction to opposing it.
You also likely base your egalitarian philosophy entirely on the fact that it just feels right to assume everyone as equal.
So did Biden. They both lied.
Another lie by GP. Biden never promised world peace.
Kamala is the upright moron....allegedly horizontal.
So Trump has raped and sexually assaulted women and cheated on all his wives with porn stars and a playboy playmate. Yet you never mention that, you never object to that. Because GP is a MAGA MORON

@ADreamOfLiberty
No, you delude yourself into thinking innocuous things are evil.
he bragged about sexually assaulting women. He bragged about taking away women's rights. There is no shortage of evil things he has said.
and by "sexually assaulting" you mean "hypothetically consensually touching",
no, i mean sexually assaulting. He didn't say I go up to them and ask them if I can touch them, and once they say yes I touch them. That would be consensually touching. He said "I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,”. His statement is that he starts kissing them immediately without their consent. And since he is a star he gets away with it. That's sexual assault. Something he has been proven in court to have done by the way.

@Double_R
What excuses will Trump supporters offer for this one?
Dictators famously plan to step down from office in the exact time period that the constitutional order demands. He’s a narcissistic moron who doesn’t want to be a dictator but doesn’t care what happens to his country or his party after he can’t be POTUS anymore.
But I need him to replace Alito and Thomas and possibly Robert’s so he has my vote :)

It’s possible. It’s a bad system but if their favored party has the house and senate SCOTUS justices should retire at even the first hint of poor health. Ginsberg not retiring under Obama was wild

@HistoryBuff
He didn't say I go up to them and ask them if I can touch them, and once they say yes I touch them. That would be consensually touching.
Consent can be implied through things like body language and the presence of flirtatious overtones/undertones in speech. Otherwise, every husband and wife would have raped each other at some point, perhaps both at the same time, because they didn't expressly ask permission to initiate intercourse before banging.
In this hypothetical, Trump is claiming two things:
(1). He is able to read body/verbal language in these contexts; and
(2). He's attractive enough that he often gets these cues from women, or at least did back around 2005 when he was still under 60.
He said "I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,”
Wait is pretty straightforward. Usually one goes out with a woman, or at least spends some time with her, before getting sexual. Trump was claiming to skip this step, both for lack of interest in doing it and because he was getting signals that it was okay to go ahead.
And since he is a star he gets away with it.
I believe his words were that "they let me do it". This doesn't imply that he blackmailed or bribed unwilling victims into keeping silent, but that they were happy to have this celebrity touch them.
If Trump genuinely believed this to be true, then he wouldn't after the first time that he had to blackmail/bribe them, suggesting this never came up. And if Trump was lying, then we can just as well assume this whole scenario never happened in the first place and he was just trying to sound like a hypermasculine alpha in front of another guy.
@wylted

Why should we have a border wall and why can't ICE be abolished? I'm legitimately looking for the best reasons right now.

he was found to have done so by a jury of his peers. You choose not to believe it, but the law says he did. As do many other women he sexually assaulted.

I choose not to believe it because there was no evidence and every indication of dishonesty and ulterior motivation both in the accusation, the modification of the law to allow for the suit, the behavior of the pseudo-judge, and the dishonor of the pseudo-jury which can be inferred from the previous.
but the law says he did
Not my law.

why? She told people about this long before trump was a politician.
the behavior of the pseudo-judge
lol, this is just sad. Just because they ruled against trump you attempt to downplay their credentials.
and the dishonor of the pseudo-jury
again, sad. You can disagree with their decision, but how could you even claim they are a "pseudo-jury"? That doesn't even make sense.
Not my law.
lol, you are bound by the same laws as everyone else. You aren't a special little butterfly who gets his own laws.

@cristo71
You misunderstand what he is being facetious about— he is not joking about ending our democracy; he is joking about the GOP garnering such a large part of the electorate that many (such as the people at this particular rally) can stay home on Election Day in 2028, and a win will still be assured.
This makes absolutely no sense and ignores all discernable reality. But I guess that's the beauty of Trump - we're so used to him saying such ridiculous things that we get to reinterpret his words to mean whatever we want and it will always make sense because him not making sense is already assumed.
How convenient.
