Old racist white guys lying while killing off millions of brown people.
Right, cause the guy who tried to ban Muslims from entering the US while enjoying the full support of the KKK is much better.

@Double_R
He was. I would rather be banned from the racist USA than dead in Palestine.

@Greyparrot
Ridiculous false choice.
Trump was the one who banned Muslims. Israel are the ones killing Palestine's. You can't be this stupid.

Its a direct attack!!!!!
You're looking at this through a profoundly anachronistic lens.
The Founding Fathers were informed by the Western Canon, namely the historical examples of Greece and Rome. Athens was the poster boy for the rise and fall of nations. The steps were roughly:
-Aristocracy
-Oligarchy
-Democracy
-Tyranny
In this telling, the tyrant is the self-proclaimed champion of the people, who directs the emotions of the people for self-serving reasons. This may, at first glance, seem to describe Trump, but in antiquity this was linked to class envy, which in modern times has been the near-exclusive domain of the Democratic Party. Parties are not individuals, of course, which makes this connection harder to spot, but one could view the Democratic Party as the well-organized pursuit of tyranny in updated form: the one party state.
What separates aristocracy from tyranny is checks and balances. The aristocrats, where distinct from oligarchs, were subjected to the just laws of the land, because no one man could hope to overturn them and because the bulk of the aristocracy had no desire to overturn them. In contrast these no longer exist by the time the tyrant sweeps into power. After all, laws (e.g. laws protecting property rights) may potentially frustrate the sacrosanct majoritarian will and so will be inherently suspect in the late democracy. "What the people want" will take the place of laws, and where the tyrant/tyrannical party succeeds in channeling the concept of "what the people want" into his own person/its own apparatus, then he/it becomes the ultimate authority.
Again, this is the party to a T.

Yeah, anyone who has such view should be laughed at.
Is there any other point you wish to make, or is this where your peak is at?

@Best.Korea
Lol, you haven't been paying very close attention to how the elite Democrats treat people who would check their balance.

@Greyparrot
I know. Its a conspiracy.

Dunno man, Dems are demonstrating all the hallmarks of what I'm describing.
They've spent the last 3 years gushing about how "democracy" (not a republic, but "democracy") is the highest value of the land, hinting that anyone who disagrees is an American traitor, etc. They've imported tens millions of illegals, in some cases being able to vote themselves and in others their children will be birthright citizens. They've taken control of the halls of influence and have killed ideological pluralism in mainstream media, Hollywood, academia, etc. They want to stack the Court with left-wing judges and/or impeach the likes of Thomas on phoney charges so that they can put a rubber stamp Democrat in that seat.
It sure sounds to me like they're setting up a system of government where nothing at all matters except "majority vote" and the majority is primed, through the aforementioned foul tricks and schemes, to always approve the agenda of the Democratic Party.
I've seen zero evidence that the GOP is anywhere near being able to pull off the same, or anything remotely like it. They're by far the less dangerous party to our republic.

All I hear from you is bla bla bla. Really, you gotta make your nonsense look cute if you want someone to read it.

By "someone" you mean just you alone.

Oh great. Another conspiracy.

The 2 top donors to the Democrat party are Soros, and recently convicted Bankman-Fried.
Both have sown unimaginable chaos in America using the Democrat party as their personal army.

Well, we know Stormy Daniels saw Trump coming.

@FLRW
Trump was raised in Christian morality, so yes we could even say that he was the best Christians could come up with, which already tells us a lot about their religion.
Guy has more sins than Satan.
