Nah, I'd say more like Vladimir Ilyich Lenin who lived by the premise that a lie told often enough becomes the truth, fits Donny to a T.

Why is it wrong that Trump refers to Haiti as a S***hole when it is one yet it's acceptable, even applauded, when the left constantly refers to middle American flyover states as S***holes?

Any lefties been to downtown Oakland to see the homeless camps lately?

The GOP senators like Cotton, Perdue, McConnell....for their own personal reasons of advancing their agenda, are letting trump marginalize our Constitution, lying for him. We are all going to wake up one day to see our military goose-stepping down Main Street when trump declares martial law in his final takeover of America.
Cowards! They are cowards. I have never been more disgusted by the spineless wimps in the GOP.

Keep disrespecting the voters and see how that goes over.

As to the group think.
Trump supporters don't seek harmony or conformity in the group. Its not irrational or dysfunctional. As someone who voted for Trump I didn't know or care how others would vote. It wasn't dysfunctional either as it worked quite well and Trump was elected. I was voting for the agenda that in my view was/is rational. Some voted against Crooked Hillary. There was no conformity in the group that voted for Trump.

The desire to get consensus in comparing Trump to Stalin is group think.
There is no critical evaluation of alternative. Its isolation of thought.

Good point.

The constant barrage of lies, endlessly repeated and reposted is taking its toll on America.

We keep thinking we'll come out of it. That Democrats will finally get it organized to get to the polls, to get rid of gerrymandering, to keep the voter rolls from being purged, ...

What if that doesn't happen?

Once again the voter is disrespected for their opinion and views that are different.

Group think from the collective.
Jeff Flake is a real conservative, his credentials are rock solid.

The fact that he calls out Mr Trump may be embarrassing to you but he speaks the truth on the subject of Trump and people need to accept that.

Sorry, but Trump deserves all the criticism he receives, he has only himself to blame. It's not your fault, my fault or Jeff Flakes fault, it's on Trump entirely.

Yes, but only after he was allied with Hitler. Our relationship with Mr. Stalin fell after the end of WWII.

As for Senator Flake: I would be more impressed with his impending speech if 1) he were running for re-election; and 2) he didn't vote for every single Trump Court nominee submitted.

I didn't vote for a Republican. I voted for the only populist running on the right.

I wouldn't get out of bed to vote for a status quo spineless republican.

Trump is doing a great job. That's why he is being attacked relentlessly.
If there was an actually comparison necessary Stalin wouldn't be in the running. Did Stalin cut taxes, regulation, and return money to millions that earned it ? No. Quite the opposite.

Jeff Flake is an agitator. He and his ilk do nothing positive to move the country forward. I imagine democrats are becoming quite confused supporting real conservatives and the far left at the same time. Its as irrational as it gets.
