The OP says Obama liked Alinsky. In some circles, apparently, you're better off dead than to be liked by Obama.

Some of you guys have this "playbook" on the brain.

Just more conspiracy theory type thinking from the conspiracy minded paranoid faction of the right wing.

Holy cow! Those rules describe our president to a tee!

Yep, your last paragraph hits the nail on the head. Too many of his supporters are crypto-nazis, and they are killing the Constitution in his name.

Oh look!

The party of George Soros and Media Matters wants to get the dark money out of politics!


The only money you want to get out of politics is the other side's.

WTH is going on?

  • they are right about workplace/mine safety and general occupational safety
  • they are right about food safety, and product labeling
  • they are right about healthcare, the need to reform it and the need to cover and protect the elderly and the vulnerable.
I was wrong about some of those things for years.
And I am not backing the Democrats because:

- they are wrong about providing health care to illegals when middle class people can't afford the $1000/month premiums for "non-insurance" that Obamacare left them with
- they are wrong about decriminalizing illegal immigration that will incentivize more illegals to come here
- they are wrong to compare detention facilities to Nazi-era concentration camps in an effort to scare minorities into going to the polls
- they are wrong to support the anti-Semitic BDS movement and refuse to condemn anti-Semitic remarks by Democratic members of Congress
- they are wrong to attempt to bribe black voters with talk of reparations and housing down payments
- they are wrong to demand that lower-middle class high school graduates pay off the student loans of high-earning college professionals
- they are wrong to bribe the parents of high school students with "free" college
- they are wrong to advance the false narrative of Trump being in alignment with Nazis and white supremacists, thereby indirectly (or sometimes directly) calling Trump voters Nazis and racists themselves
- they are wrong in their anti-white rhetoric, thus flaming racial tensions

These modern dems have an entirely different set of beliefs and values than Americans, dem or republican, have held for hundreds of years.


When an entire party embraces totalitarianism and opposes the basic principles of the Constitution, we have a problem. The very odd thing is that the dem party members, do not seem to see the danger of their philosophy, its origins, or the expressed purpose of its implementation. They have been deluded into believing that they are sympathetic and open minded, when the opposite is true.


Intolerance, divisiveness, and violence will be the coin of the realm for the modern democrat party and one cannot expect a change from this course in the forseeable future.
Meanwhile, Trump is a admirer of the writings of Hitler.
