→NYT's push to call Trump a "fascist"
::Now while Trump is merely a fraction of authoritarian tendencies/leaning than Biden/Harris and other left leaning Democrats, he has his problems too as can be seen at: [https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/05/trump-terminate-constitution-00072230 Trump denies he suggested ‘termination’ of Constitution, without deleting post], Politico, 2022 and [https://www.texastribune.org/2022/12/06/ted-cruz-john-cornyn-trump-constitution/ Cruz: “Of course” Trump was wrong to call for terminating Constitution], Texas Tribune, 2022 and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3QXrQDTDYo Donald Trump: 'When somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total'], video (During the pandemic).

::A big difference between Trump and Democrats is that Trump is man of the people and craves praise, recognition and respect as well. And he know if he were to be as bad as the Biden/Harris/Democrats as far as authoritarianism, he would be hated by the majority of Americans.
::But our Founding Fathers foresaw this problem and that is why we have separation of powers and federalism (state rights). So it very hard for authoritarians to gain as much power as they would wish.

::I hope Republicans/Trump does a better job of pushing school choice so civics/ethics/religion is taught more. Because that is a big root of the problem. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:04, October 23, 2024 (EDT)
