I don't think its a surprise that I'm to the right of 90% of the folks here, but I'm not maga. But I can answer your question. I keep hearing the right is the party of fear. They scare you into voting a certain way. And I don't disagree with that. But I would also say that's just politics in general. Many elections are about vote for this guy or else.... So much of the Harris campaign, and even Biden before he dropped, was "vote for democracy." And trying to convince people if trump wins, that will be the end of democracy for America. I mean, that's about the most extreme example of scare politics I've seen. There are many other examples of how this country will end, etc. And there isn't a lot of guarantees in life, but I do guarantee in 4 years we will have an election and trump won't be on the ticket. This is another example. Nobody is okay with anyone gunning down people who vote against their candidate. I'm not too familiar with Hegseth, I've heard his name more times in the last week than I have my entire life. And he very well may cal the left a Marxist, and said democrats need to be defeated to save America. But I am pretty confident in saying, without even have read his book, that he does not cal for the literal gunning for anyone. based on how they vote. And people in the media who promote that are part of that political fear strategy. And I can assure you that people are not wanting to gunning for anyone on the basis of how they voted.
Are both sides the same though? I don’t recall Harris making a lot of fear based statement, but maybe I missed them. Trump does this all the time and nearly every republican has been for decades.
Do you believe that democracy is over in America and that there will not be another election then? If you believe that, then I will just say I disagree. If you don't believe that, then isn't campaigning on that a scare tactic?
"Christians, get out and vote, just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."
Campaigning on a scare tactic by using literal words said by the person running while on the campaign trail.
What is the other side’s equivalent to this quote? When did Kamala ever say something so explicitly communist as this quote is explicitly anti-democracy?
Jose you watch to much MSNBC. Get out of the echo chamber bro!

Stephen K. Bannon is a patriot 🇺🇸 and he’s going to help expose these criminals in our govt masquerading as politicians or as unelected bureaucrats. That’s why you see all these over top reactions out of Washington to Trump cabinet nominations for example. They’re scared shitless and they know truth & justice is coming.

Your bar is so low of who you see as a patriot it might as well be underground! That’s all you got? Go ahead debate the article I posted tell us how it’s fake but everything you say is legit 😂
Sure. Along with the Obama and Hillary indictments. Oh and Brandon and Hunter’s too.
The inability of some to differentiate between “crimes”, “grand jury indictments”, “trials” and guilty verdicts by a “jury of your peers”, versus “political persecution” is astounding.
In her letter yesterday, Heather Cox Richardson wrote:
"Gaetz’s withdrawal turns attention to Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.... Jonathan Chait of The Atlantic
did a deep dive into Hegseth’s recent books and concluded that Hegseth
“considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s
left, and it is by no means clear that he means war
metaphorically.” Hegseth’s books suggest he thinks that everything that
does not support the MAGA worldview is “Marxist,” including voters
choosing Democrats at the voting booth. He calls for the “categorical
defeat of the Left” and says that without its “utter annihilation,”
“America cannot, and will not, survive.”
So my question for our MAGA member here is this: Are you OK with the idea of having the U.S. military to literally (not metaphorically) come gunning for those who did not vote for Trump?
Stop spreading fear. Your question is ridiculous.
Still can’t answer the question nor defend your speech or position? Tsk, tsk.
The only military action this party may use on its citizens is asking that the Army Corp of Engineers build a bunch of crying rooms for those who cannot handle the results of the election and/or wish the country to fail.
I wonder if these delusions are even considered after watching the last administration use the DOJ to attack its political opponents like a communist regime.
What a crazy question to ask?!?!

Faux/fascist Christians, the worst. Jesus would clear that table, that's for sure.
Jesus Christ loved and cared for EVERYONE not just old obese wealthy white men who claim to be straight and "christian."
So very true.
It concerns me that more churches aren't speaking out against these faux Christians. On the other hand, there have been some braves soul among people of faith who have called out these imposters. I would if I still thought of myself as a Christian (and I have respect for true Christianity), only I am more inclined towards philosophies like Unitarian Universalism, and spirituality through nature and the creative arts.

Trump quote on “Patriot” Steve Bannon:
"Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.
"Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn't as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn't represent my base — he's only in it for himself.
"Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was. It is the only thing he does well. Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books.
"We have many great Republican members of Congress and candidates who are very supportive of the Make America Great Again agenda. Like me, they love the United States of America and are helping to finally take our country back and build it up, rather than simply seeking to burn it all down."

When I was a kid, we used to watch cowboy movies that sometimes featured a snake oil salesman and I often wondered, "Did people actually fall for that nonsense?" I figured it was tall tales, movie fiction, that sort of thing. "No one believed that!" I'd protest.
Well folks... here we are! Fools rush in where angels fear to tread (and for good reason). Does it get any dumber? (Don't answer that rhetorical question. We all know what various answers will come.

This quote was from way back in 2018, and they have since made up. Stephen K Bannon is one of his fiercest defenders. 2024 wouldn’t have been possible w/o Bannon and the Warroom posse leading the populist movement.

I know when the quote is from. Hypocrisy knows no time or limits, especially to the radical right.
