It’s the followers of Trump I find scary, not Trump himself. If Trump does win the presidency, they will feel empowered. An empowered right-wing bureaucracy is what I fear. Only because it starts with empowerment, and grows into tyranny. We’ve seen that to some degree with Bush and Obama. But this is like a complete leap into the dark side.
You find normal americans scary. What do you think we might do?
You really need to follow forum posting rules and not get personal.
I find many candidates scary. For example, I think everyone should be scared of Hillary.
I do want to take that back, but since so many complain trump supporters are poorly educated, maybe you’d find that a positive comment.
Mike,Are you a thread disrupter? If not, that was quite the condescending post.
Need I remind you that Christ was born in a cave, laid in a trough and worshipped by non-educated sheepherders who were told where they could find Him by angels sent from God. Both Christ and the shepherds were low income. All were white, though that is insignificant.
Money, social status or race won’t get you character much less holiness. As a lifetime blue collar, high school educated white male who has worked and associated with all, I can testify to snobbery, hate etc. from people of all social, educational, racial, religious and financial backgrounds.
Brother/sister, you may need to examine yourself.

No.
I agree completely. I just returned from a community foundation luncheon and sat with a couple of bright women friends, both of them conservative, one of them a CEO of a large employer in the area, the other a director of an arts organization of which I am on the board. We all agreed that this Trump thing is like living in a nightmare.
If you throw in corporate liberal media, education elites, Hollywood to the above list, I will agree 100% with this comment. It amazes me how many people routinely think a candidate of one party or the other will ‘change’ things. Yes one can shift things (assuming we put up someone who can get enough votes to win) but not fundamentally change things. The powers that be will never go for that, both parties, capitalism, etc.
Most media and Hollywood studios are run by six corporations. I saw a chart on it once, I’d have to look it up.
I really don’t know what you mean. Are trump supporters going to use their guns to revolt and form a tyrannical government?
Yes, but the liberals are gaining real power - remember wasn’t it Amazon (maybe not?) who fired that executive for opposing gay marriage. Microsoft, Google, etc. Now the major money and power holders in the West are on the left and right.
I refuse to believe that those supporting the racism, misogyny, xenophobia, vulgarity, narcissism, and boorishness of Trump are “normal Americans.” If they are, we are in very scary times, indeed.
Boorish and occasionally vulgar, I’d agree with you. racism, misogyny, xenophobia, narcissism are not truthful descriptions of trump.
I’m actually worried about what will happen when Trump is out of the political picture. Right now they feel empowered because they have Trump on their side. Once he’s no longer in the running they will lose that power and I’m worried they will turn to guns to retrieve the power again.
And then, what is all of this about Zika and contraception? Anyway, a different issue.
Trust me, we want fairness and not our lives ruined. The worst that can happen is trump voters will vote every republican senator and representative who have conspired against trump out of office. After that life goes on. The republican party will probably die because many will never vote for them ever again. The heck with it! Both parties show themselves to be the same color so just let them have it! That’s a lot of trump voters not all.
