Trump does not have America's interests in mind: he does not know what these are and he does not care to learn. What he cares about is his own ego. He is willing to destroy America and the world to satisfy it.

I really like this quote. Do you mind if I put it in my signature?

Be my guest Smiley

Thanks!

If Americans want to elect a facist President, then so be it. We need to learn our lesson.
One thing is for certain.  If we elect Trump, we deserve whatever happens.

If you elect Trump, you deserve whatever. But we are innocent!
NO. If America goes down we're taking the rest of the world with us, or at least Mexico.

Oh, yeah, innocence is not a defense. We will be screwed horribly, I have no doubts of that whatsoever. Really, if Trump is elected I am building a bunker somewhere in the mountains to survive the next decade. BUT WE ARE NOT THE ONES WHO MADE IT HAPPEN!!!
If Mexico had bothered to control their borders at all for the last 50 years Trump would not be where he is today.

If Mexico had learned to control their violence and corruption, illegal immigration would not be a problem and Trump would have found some other issue to stoke his candidacy.

One should not forget that substantial part of Mexico's violence and corruption is a direct consequence of US policies, such as the "war on drugs". We are all interdependenet, whether we like it or not.

FWIW,  a pretty significant number of neo-Nazis and other white supremacists have endorsed Trump because "for the first time, we have a major presidential candidate who is saying what we've been saying all along."

Washington Post for the lulz.....

The USA is the opposite of fascist.

Trump is not advocating for an authoritarian state, nor does he qualify with any definition remotely associated with fascism.

Trump is a populist who advocates overly simplistic solutions to gain votes in a democracy.

To say Trump is a fascist is a reflection more of the political troglodyte who made the statement in the first place.

Robert Kagan is a disgusting neocon. Pretty sad to see so many Democrats praising his article.

Hillary is the Queen of the Neocons.

They said that when fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. Those words could not be any truer.

They're not totally accurate in the case of Trump, though. He's lazy, so he just says "flag" and "cross" a lot. (Or at least similar things, as long as they don't have too many syllables.) It seems to be working for him, though.

I hope the first of the fascist will be to clamp down on lousy over labeled political cartoons.

The question is: movement in which direction it will be blocking.

Everything he says is Trump-Fascism has been done by Obama...
So given that fact,
1) is Obama a dangerous fascist? 
2) Will Clinton continue Obama's Fascism? 
3) Aren't we already Fascist? How could it come to be by Trump, if Obama already brought it?
4) Is Trump the lesser Fascist compared to Hillary?

...Where has this guy been for 8 years?

...Maybe come up with a single thing that isn't factual.  I won't hold my breath.
