So I am trying to figure out what all this fear is about ?

You don't read headlines, do you?

.. like people calling Trump a Fascist. or acting like the world is coming to an end.. protesting on the streets..

What is their beef ?

You don't read headlines, do you?

Like some say that Trump is a bigot. I have not heard one thing out of his mouth that sounded like bigotry or Fascism. What in the world are people talking about?

You have to be living under a bubble, in deep denial, or...
you don't read headlines, do you?
If you really ask that question, answering would be a waste.

So what exactly do you fear ?

Not a thing!
I read the headlines, but do not 'believe' anything!
It's just entertainment.
I see the fear mongering of the media.

I'm not afraid of him. But it's hard for me to see him as anything more than a conman who treats his constituents like they're stupid.

But he'll have his chance to prove me wrong.

As Forrest Gump would say, "stupid is as stupid does sir".

Most of Trumps candidate pics seem to have direct conflict with the organization they will be running.

When he says he grabs women by the p, he's talking about hookers. That's creating jobs. Not a bad thing.

I'll repost a reply I just made in another thread:

It's no secret that I am no fan of Trump. But I was no fan of HRC nor did I vote for Obama... either time. Just wanted to get that out there so the Trump ass-lickers would get back in their seats. I listened to his speech. If someone else had given that speech --- someone from a third party for example --- I would be very excited. But I'm one of those people who absolutely distrusts DJT. He wrote a book about telling people what they want to hear to 'seal the deal' and used that tactic effectively throughout his campaign. My fear is that he is simply a flim-flam man.

In his speech he basically told the Washington power-base and the Elite that he's coming for them. He plans to dismantle the empire they have built over generations and redirect their wealth and power back to 'The People'. He's going to stop ISIS, end poverty, provide healthcare for everyone and create 'millions' of jobs. No use of the word 'try'. He made a contract with the American people in that speech.

There are three possible outcomes:

--- He can actually deliver on these and all the other promises he made during the campaign. Does anyone actually believe ANYONE could do this? Does anyone actually believe that people FAR more powerful and with far more wealth at-stake than DJT will allow this to happen? Why would DJT give a rat's ass about you, me and the rest of the common people? He has a long history of routinely screwing 'common people' (contractors and tradesmen) out of money he owes them for work done on his RE projects. Why the sudden about-face? Why would he be concerned with people he has no contact with and who he wouldn't even allow to use his bathrooms?

--- He's utterly deluded. He actually believes he can do all these things cause he is totally clueless. He will try, fail (which doesn't go well with DJT) and go all spastic when his grand plan starts falling apart. As he has demonstrated throughout the campaign when things don't go his way he will double-down and get reckless.

--- He's scamming all of you. He's lying. He knows he can't do any of this but knows it's what you want to hear. Meantime, he has 'drained the swamp' and filled it with the cesspool. He and all his cronies will, as usual, fill their bank accounts at our expense and push yet more wealth up the socio-economic ladder at the expense of us and especially the poor and impoverished.


Is there another possibility I've missed? He delivers or not, right? ISIS is done, poverty is wiped-out, crime is eliminated, jobs are abundant. DJT is looking to have his family be the next Camelot. But although I would LOVE to see him fulfill the contract he just made with America --- if not for our sake then certainly for our children and grand-children --- but IMHO, he might just as well have promised us all pet unicorns. I simply cannot fathom how he can deliver on what he has promised. His Camelot will instead be Dystopia,

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are descended from John of Gaunt, son of king Edward III, great grandfather of king Henry VII. They are BFF. Hillary should be okay. She is not responsible for what happened at Benghazi.

Would I like a database on everyone to stop that? NO, because it won't stop that. History repeats itself when it comes to fascist like rules over lives. So, have you?

Your guys idea is database everyone because he says so? Should he drone Snowden, Manning and Assange as well? Oh wait, Assange supposedly helped him into office.

ETA: Assume you support the Patriot ACT 2.0, the TSA, NSA's new power signed in the day before the inauguration(by Obama),etc? Or the above?

I'm also against databases. Call it thought police or whatever. I would rather have my freedom back than live in constant fear that I'll be the next one labeled and put into a database or my neighbors, coworkers, friends, family.

As for my problems with Mr. Trump: I can just say that others have addressed them here in this thread. No need to harp on. I am willing to give him a chance, but so far what I see is that he's a) prone to setting policy on twitter b) thinks he should be immune to criticism c) doesn't seem to understand a global economy unless it benefits "trump" and d) He is seen by the world as an isolationist. Since I do have friends all over the world and on every continent, it worries me how the US is perceived.

I am a descendant of Edward III as well. Can't wait to share this with some Trump hating relatives!

I find males who joke about women the way he does to be absolutely vile. It's beneath me. Tbh, as a poor mountain climber boy, I can say with absolute 10000000% certainty that my decency and honor of women has gotten me way way better looking and smarter girls than Trumps wife. I never needed to degrade a female. Never wanted to or thought it was funny.

Except you just demeaned Trump's wife with those statements which drool with bigotry against a woman. But you do make exceptions to that rule, well, because it's Trump's wife and she doesn't count?

Hypocrisy!

I take exception to people making fun of Trump's skin color. I thought that was out of bounds?

I'm Scottish descent, not pale like Trump, but too much sun and I'm kind of orange myself.

I hurts me deeply.

My giving him a chance is wondering if he's going undo what was signed in as shared. Unfortunately, due to the other anti privacy issues he's wanting to enact, kinda doubting that will be seen. Heck, maybe it will give a starting hint.
