    Sounds like that was before Trump took office.  Now he is the one kicking butt and fighting our wars for us.

    I don't think the Dem leaders will be able to get anything started. Especially after losing USAID etc money. 

    They (Dem politicians)  have been calling for violence for awhile now and have not stopped. 

    I don't thing either side wants it.

    You do realise that American farmers sold $2bn worth of food annually to USAID, right? Now nobody will buy it - so it rots while people starve and the farmers don't get paid so they are eventually driven off the land because they can't pay the mortgage. Welcome to Trump's America - land of the perpetually broke.
    China hasn't started to play hard ball yet - if it stops buying US paper (it owns most of the US deficit and the dollar has been fiat since Nixon), you are going to see hyperinflation that will make Weimar Germany look like a tea party.

    Do you think the farmers are going to go civil war against Trump?

    No, for the same reason Germany's didn't against Hitler. Brainwashing - their anger will be redirected against minorities, like gays, other races, Muslims etc. Trump is to Muslims what Hitler was to Jews, the rhetoric is identical. He's just choosing to scapegoat the OTHER Abrahamic religion (and the Arabs are just as Semitic, FYI).

    I have no anger.  I can disagree with someone else's thoughts and actions without hating them. 
    Most adults can do that.  

    Let me know when Trump setup the concentration camps....(Don't hold your breathe) This post was edited by my2cents at February 11, 2025 4:50 PM MST

    It's not anger, so much as contempt. Feeling better than and more deserving than than the other races and ethnicities that are immigrating here just like most of our ancestors did and for the same reasons. Feeling smarter and better informed than your fellow citizens who have different opinions and closing your mind to the possibility that some of what you've been told is not entirely true.

    This time it's even worse, given that the public now has access to a wide range of information. Back in the 1930s, the Nazis tightly controlled the narrative and the flow of information, but Trump doesn't have that power. Despite the lessons of history and the availability of alternative sources, the extreme far-right is still choosing to scapegoat various cultures. Trump isn't the origin of this intolerance, but he's become an enabler, amplifying the voices of hate that were already present.

    Wow! You are succinctly stationed in level head subjective reality. The world will just get smaller and madder and will implode and all the kings horses and all the kings men will be captured by totalitarianism and capitalism. It seems women love dictators and hate what they perceive as weakness. Fascista! Those two anyways. Bummer bombers. All they want is babies!

    The current administration is trying to divide and distract us. By pitting Americans against each other, they think we won't notice the concentration of power in the hands of a few oligarchs. Citizens on both sides need to quit fighting each other and join forces to prevent a takeover. This has been brewing for years and we are at a turning point. I hold out hope that Republicans will wake up before it's too late and that Democrats will get rid of their weak leadership and start to fight back.

    Would you rather the Democrats be in power, running things?

    Neither party is doing a good job, in my opinion. As I have heard said, the Republicans have no shame and the Democrats have no spine.

    King Log is always preferable to King Stork. Ever heard of Æsop?
    Biden was a stuffed shirt, a career politician, as dead as Reagan was - but he did what Ronnie did and provided a front while the Veep and Cabinet secretaries ran things, and did it competently enough. Now Trump has replaced those secretaries with his billionaire buddies who know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the portfolios they are supposed to be responsible for, and has a brain dead cretin as a VP who was so ineffective as a Senator that NOT A SINGLE ONE of the bills he sponsored or co-sponsored got passed. Not one.

    Just as Hitler did and Putin has done, while directing local anger elsewhere. MAGA has borrowed quite a lot from the Nazi playbook.
