Trump is held in check by the Courts, Congress, Senate, media (mostly liars), and The Swamp.

But for some reason the only examples Russian trolls like the OP (and Fox News) care to proffer are Venezuela and Stalin. Well, if I were a Russian troll I guess Stalin would be the first person who came to mind. He probably starved the OP's great great grandma, babushka and all.
The ones that starved didn't live long enough to start a family or if they did the family died with them. The lucky ones escaped.

My Ukrainian ancestors got out of there before Stalin. Plenty that starved, already had a family. You know that though.

Christianity is on the decline? Holy men have not done a lot, as a whole, to promote their causes have they? Too many of them are child molesting monsters and their bosses have let it happen. That's on them and good riddance I say.

Not happy with democracy myself these days as it led to the buffoon in chief. But we'll survive him. Fear not.
Trump did go to the Pope and tell him he would not cover for any sexual abuse if it came out. Hillary was trying to control the Church to support abortion and all of her other causes so she would cover for the sexual abuse if the Church just kept quiet on abortion. Personally, I am happy Trump was elected even though I am Catholic. The government as well as the Church needs to be cleaned up.

We had one of the best school systems in the world before the centre-right Moderate Party sunk their filthy claws in it and messed everything up.
Hardly a conservative professor can be found on college campuses anymore so I think you have that backward.

They really strange thing is that these same opponents of socialism will defend their nationalist leader, Demented Donald Trump, DDT, and his attempt to become king of the US.
Social Security is not an entitlement---we paid into it. Medicare is horrible but it was tacked on so we have to deal with it.

Source? Info Wars?

I laugh at that because it's so silly.

Democratic socialism has little to do with being Democratic.
I don't think anyone in this country wants to take "the power to distribute society's good and services." I don't see that being promoted anywhere.

More outright lies.

I am not surprised.
