As usual, liberals have no idea what a fact is. Come back when you learn the difference between opinion and fact - hint you won't figure it out watching CNN.

He's right there is a huge fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans but like most liberals he's to blinded by partisanship to see what it really is.
Who is it that is supressing free speech? Trump
Who is attacking opposing politicians ? Trump
He doesnt discriminate.
He is a bi partisan dictator.
He attacks his " own guys ", as does Suadi Arabiia, as does North Korea, as did Stalin.

Trump declared the media, that is the US citizens access to the activities of their elected officials, an ENEMY of the PEOPLE. NO it is HIS enemy. Light continues to be cast up in him and he doesn't like being exposed.
He s a criminal.

The media is the enemy of the people, or at least a large swath of the people. The media are Democrats with press badges.

Most Trump supporters, like Trump himself, do not understand facts. Or, as Trump's chief adviser Kelly Anne Conway has admitted, they use "alternative facts", which is a euphemism for living in their own private Idaho.

Thanks for the link, I will definitely listen to this. We both can see the fascism that is rearing its head under Trump.

Meanwhile, what are you providing yourself as far as facts is concern?

However, unlike Nader, he's able to understand that sometimes it's crucial to go with what you may consider the lesser evil, for the short term. So he's been highly critical of Democrats, but now clearly sees the necessity of stopping the right-wing trends for the immediate future.

The site is good about including both video and a transcript.

The U.S. Is Facing Incipient Domestic Fascism, But Rightist Revolution Can Be Stopped
https://www.democracynow.org/2018/11...e_us_is_facing

...For years, I’ve been documenting how many of the senior Democrats are complicit in war crimes, how they belong in prison. But we are now in an emergency situation in which there is a huge, fundamental difference between the Democrats and the Republicans at this moment. The Republicans would abolish democracy.
Thanks. I saw Allan Nairn around 2000 speak at the Mayflower church in Oklahoma City on his violent experience and imprisonment from covering protests citizens in East Timor had made against their occupiers--Indonesia.

Was it too much of a bother to you to read the interesting article or see the video? If you love Sean Hannity, you missed what it said about him.

There's no "would" about it. The Republicans (or what passes for members of that party today) are actively abolishing democracy, as fast as they can. I'm sure they realize their days in power are numbered if they don't succeed soon, so it's a vital race to get them tossed out of office, before they destroy our nation.

If it's relevant to the topic, I'll do what I please. I'm not on here to meet your personal expectations of what a post's content ought to be - any more than you're obligated to meet a "lefties" expectations of what ought to be in your own posts.
