[quote:Anonymous Coward 43973734:MV8zMTA0MjQwXzU1MzI3MjM4X0VCMTlFMzI2] [quote:Taewen:MV8zMTA0MjQwXzU1MzE4MzU2XzQ0RkE2OTE2] [quote:DarthElevator:MV8zMTA0MjQwXzU1MzE4MjUzXzM1NTJGN0FF] [quote:Taewen:MV8zMTA0MjQwXzU1MzE2MDU0XzQ4NkRDMTUw] This guys sums it up perfectly in one paragraph. [i]Conditions are ripe for an authoritarian leader to emerge. Trump is seizing the opportunity. And the institutions—from the Republican Party to the press—that are supposed to guard against what James Madison called “the infection of violent passions” among the people have either been cowed by Trump’s bluster or are asleep on the job.[/i] Read more: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/donald-trump-2016-authoritarian-213533#ixzz41fo6wprw [/quote] Oh really? What do you call your Mr. "Executive order all day every day" Obama? Give us a fucking break. The shoe is on the other foot, so suck it up. Its your turn to get with the program, compromise, work together, etc.. Your hypocrisy wont save you now. [/quote] Obama has been the worse president this country has ever endured. All of our GOP candidates have promised to repeal every unconstitutional executive order that Obama has passed. You make it sound like Trump invented the Internet. Trumps message is not compromise, its about shoving what we want down the throats of the world at large. [/quote] Really? You mean as in we don't like countries sending us criminals, rapists, pedo and other harden criminals and we will shove a wall down their throat? How old are you? Fuck off you little pissant. You are so filled with mind fuck memes off CNN you don't have a thought of your own. [/quote]
Original Message
Authoritarian inclinations.
"Since the rise of Nazi Germany, it has been one of the most widely studied ideas in social science. While its causes are still debated, the political behavior of authoritarians is not. Authoritarians obey. They rally to and follow strong leaders. And they respond aggressively to outsiders, especially when they feel threatened. From pledging to “make America great again” by building a wall on the border to promising to close mosques and ban Muslims from visiting the United States, Trump is playing directly to authoritarian inclinations."

This also explains some of the fanaticism of a Trump supporter. You guys think Obama is bad? You haven't seen anything yet. Trump would make us the 'New China'.
...and the worse part of this is, Trump supporters will see this as a good thing.
