Talk about propoganda. Congress and Senate are very close majorities, possibly too close to pass controversial policies and getting extreme picks to head up the government passed. The real trouble is the idea dictatorships work. Society is too complex, you need functional institutions with...

I hope he enjoys his intelligence. I have met some very intelligent people, and unfortunately high intelligence often causes people to become victims of their emotions which paint them as the heros and everyone else the enemy or dangerous. It appears for many their analytical ability convinces...

No landslide vote, and control of immigration is an important issue. The question though is cost benefit analysis. No country can stop illegal immigration just moderate it. There was a bipartisan bill that was going to be passed but Trump stopped it. This shows simply Trump is exploiting fear...

"Debating an idiot is like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory" Bonhoeffer puts it like this: “Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that...

It is ironic, Trump may have got in because of a computer hack. The democrates will just let it run. Have you thought maybe why? We now live in a world about to financially collapse according to our previous economic models. The USA has more debt than it can ever pay back. Whatever the...

This discussion has never been about politics, it is about blame. Building detention camps, starting to round up the enemy, deport them, and then maybe hold trials, put people in prison.... And the cost will be loss of food production, higher prices, the start of a recession. And it will be...

"the best President of the USA ever by far" This phrase indicates an obvious problem. Trump has been the most talked about president ever, who seemed everyday to create news or attention. Biden and all the other presidents could go months without even making news. To get this level of...

I remember the prophet asking the Lord for a picture of what was in store for the society. He saw babylon taking Israel into captivity and wished he had not seen this. The world which is vast has become in our lifetimes like a village, with massive changes in population and climate. One small...

The real question here is not about Trump but revolution. It appears the christian nationalism is proposing revolution is the only way out. But I fear this is being driven by the shift in white domination of the society from 80% down to below 50% in the not too distant future. In one sense...

This is a classic polarisation question. I am not for or against Trump as an individual, but against breaking laws, disrespecting the legal system, the electoral system, supporting attempted coups, being open to militia groups who desire revolution. It is clear BLM have broken these principles...

There is a simple moral dilemma here. To gain power you have to play by the rules. If you are untrustworthy, cheat, lie, distort everything then you are no longer worthy of office. Look round the world and populists manage to gain a following of personality despite all the failings. It is a...

11000 votes argument was simple. I need this number of votes to win, and I believe they are there, so find them or you are a criminal. The response was the numbers are correct and there are no 11,000 votes. This was not anything but political pressure to overturn a fair and correct election...

Trump is a political aberration caused by Facebook technology in the 2016 election. It will not happen again, because targetting the fed-up group with propoganda no longer is as effective as both sides of the argument can now be put forward. Christianity is not political, it is about the...

I am sorry that I need to supply what is easy to google. The problem is people do not want to find opinions that do not agree with theirs. My statements are my reaction of clear statements by people over the last 4 years. I have heared testimony of folk who deprogrammed themselves from the...

There is a problem in politics, the cost of getting elected. The perspective you put forward is a perspective Fox News and right wing media project. Take the accusations against Dominion voting systems and smartmatic were both accused of causing a false election result, yet were found innocent...

The young man who died trying to shoot Trump was just a nutcase. My son believes if he was in that situation he would not have missed, because it was so close range. This is typical of the crazy situation is this young man who died should not of even been able to have a go, and I do not think...

In the reformation both sides used propoganda to show how bad the other side was. The problem comes facts often get left behind and extreme language is used. I have seen this approach used in other situations. The classic was making Trump into a target. And then a republican youngster tried to...

I think I remember, "Please find me 11,000 votes" or "If you tell me about Biden I will give you aid" or "China if you are listening, find the emails" or "Putin told me he did not do it, so he did not do it" "Lock her up" etc. The problem is so many false accusations have been said by Trump...

The reality is a court has found him guilty and is awaiting sentence. That sentence could be a prison sentence. You might and seemingly others here believe he is innocent, but a court has found him guilty. Is it too difficult to accept this reality? Trump displays contradictatory statements...

When the democrates win, what are you going to do? As far as the militias go, they are right wing and racist, and support Trump. Many are pro-Nazi, so trying to claim the democrates are like this does not work. Those who support and admire dictators are not people who are defending democracy...
