“What I think Trump enthusiasts may not be seeing how closely Trump’s first four years mirror the rise of the Hitler—the gradual twisting of grievance into democracy-killing autocracy. I think all Americans value their freedoms, so I’d like to suggest that everyone blink, take a breath, and learn fr…”

“Of course. Although we have a bad record on this, most recently ICE detention centers, concentration camps are inexcusable (in my view). Those who think they’re okay, imagine your wife, daughter, or sister disappeared into an unnamed prison, was deprived of her right to a lawyer, and subjected t a…”

“I’m not understanding Just.Dave’s remarks. Ms. Clinton wrote a book, but I haven’t heard much of anything out of her since 2016. President Trump talks about her all the time, as he did again in last night’s debate, as if she’s still part of the equation. But in fact she’s well out of it. Everyon…”

Plus, the women on this winning team, with their prowess, their ambiti…”

“Everyone is looking for ways to curb the immense numbers of immigrants, but setting them up as public enemies of or criminal threats to Americans, and pursuing them cruelly and unreasonably is wrong. Hitler and Stalin whipped up huge nationalist frenzies in Germany and the Soviet Union, also scapeg…”

“It’s a proto-Soviet, cult-of-personality display which the President will use as a campaign opportunity. He’s giving the tickets away to his chosen guests, the Park Service has denied helium for protestors’ balloons, and we the taxpayers will be footing the bill! Trump’s base needs to look further…”

“Of course the judge did the right thing. The White House's view is narrowed by intolerance and hate mentality. And hate is really not too strong a word. They have begun a systematic singling out of Muslims, and detailing of Muslim "crimes," including falsely crediting Muslims with the killings in…”
