A peek behind the curtain. Trump is just the front man.
The Republicans are on the verge of owning America. Billionaires, whose names we don't even know, have spent decades buying their way to this point. And the irony is that Trump is too stupid to know that they lucked out when he came along. He's their flashing, neon, "free candy for everyone" billboard.-- And he's one of the most effective in history.

Tens of millions have bought into his "The drinks are on the house" pitch. After all, doesn't everyone love the guy who has said he'll pick up the tab.

Those who ran Germany's "Third Reich" sold much the same shit. It worked. They ended up owning the country, and then they tried to own the entire world. Britain, Russia and our forebears stopped them. But this time around, the shit peddlers are homegrown. Our founders called them "Domestic Enemies." And they have a good chance of winning or stealing this year's election. If they do, it will be the last.

And here we are. The majority. We're watching it unfold and our leaders seem to be caught like deer in the headlights. Yes, the media is assisting the barbarians. But you'd think that countless millions of sane people could put up a better defense. Actually, "defense" seems like joke. We're barely in this fight. And millions of people who are Democrats are only vaguely aware that the Republicans have declared war on democracy.

So what do we do besides everything possible to get out the vote and beat them at the polls? I wish I had the answer. Yet, we know going into this election that their suppression tactics, their gerrymandering, their "lost votes" claims, and everything else they have in their bag of dirty tricks, is being employed.

The only advice I have to give is VOTE! And if that's not enough, we need a Plan B, which we currently seem to lack. And it's a lack that could cost us our freedoms, our country and our lives.

You are  a total whack job.

What a loon!

And it’s especially funny because the loon fails to acknowledge that since the time of Clinton, the Dem party has become the party of the wealthy and multi-national corporations.

The democrats and he progressives are on the verge of owning America. Chinese, Russian and Ukrainian Billionaires, whose names we don't even know, have spent decades buying their way to this point. And the irony is that biden is too caught up in enriching his family to care to know that they lucked out when he came along. He's their flashing, neon, "free candy for everyone" billboard.-

That's not his pitch, Cryano.  In fact, in his remarks in the Bronx yesterday, he said "the harder you work, the luckier you get."  And also stressed the importance of never losing your momentum.  This is not "free drinks" rhetoric.

Read my mind.  Absolute projection from the party of "we'll pay off your student loans" among so many other vote-buying stunts.  And the Biden crime family's grift is well established, but goes unprosecuted.

In the real world the Dems are supported by as many or more billionaires than support Trump. But facts DUmmies don't want to hear are Reich-Wing.

It has been attributed to many people in different variations and in different walks of life through the years. From Thomas Jefferson to famed athletes they often say "good luck is a residue of hard work". It was ingrained in most of us normal people by good parents, including my own.

Clearly that is a foreign thought process to most leftists and DUmmies, they just want free stuff.

At least he didn't forget to include a Nazi Germany comparison.

If Republicans are on the verge of owning America, and Trump is their front man, how is he on trial right now?

Trump got less support from his own party than any POTUS in my lifetime. So that "point" is bullshit. I guess he's a billionaire because he's so stoopid.
Is "free candy for everyone" a reference to shifting student loan dept to you, me, and the rest who never agreed to cover the cost of degrees that qualified the recipients for barista trainees?

As opposed to the tens of millions who insist Hunter's laptop was a plant and believe every president should have 20 shell companies. You can't shame anybody from that position?

Those who ran Germany's "Third Reich" sold much the same shit. It worked.

Those are the movements that begin by disarming the population. Right?

"Our" bag of dirty tricks?
Relax. You guys already have the strongest 3AM bloc ever. if that's not enough just grab those boxes from under those desks over there. Then just shut things down until you get the numbers right.   AGAIN

The more one reads DU, the more 'new projection meters' one needs.

I believe someone is confused as to who is actually doing these things.
