How does anyone in America hear this and not immediately think "That's dictator shit"?
Literally everything he does makes a ton of us think “that’s some dictator shit”, a lot of us go out and protest about it too. Problem is, peaceful protests aren’t doing shit.
They gather people and remind everyone how much actual support there is out there. Eventually enough will feel empowered to act and affect real change.
Some like it. It's pretty gross.
Anyone who values knowledge enough to have ever been to the Smithsonian or any other museum like it does immediately think that. The problem is in how many people have been brainwashed into thinking that "knowledge" is defined as "the trap those librul Satan-worshipping pedo removed used to convince my grandson to stop talking to me and leave god behind"
fortunately there are a lot of independent museums around the country that have always been better than the smithsonian, if you know where to find them
A third do.
Another third ignores it because their favorite tv show is on, and hey, they’re white and nothing’s happened to them yet, so obviously everything is fine and those protesters are just overreacting.
And the final third looks at it and thinks ‘That’s my dictator! Attaboy!’
You're leaving out a serious chunk of ignorant Americans. Most of us are illiterate, can't follow along with a novel kinda illiterate.
My wife has only been here a couple of years. Before she met me and started looking at the news she thought Trump was a fine man.
Stop the "man on the street" and ask him what he knows about what we talk about around here, daily news, he won't have a clue.
And finally, Fox News is the most popular media in the United States. And I don't wish to hear any hate for Fox from people who don't actually watch it. They're far more subtle than we give them credit for. They hardly ever lie!
As long as it pisses off the libs, they are putting all of their weight behind it.
I can’t wait until he goes after everyone’s firearms.
As someone who completely believes this is dictator shit...
As politics and society became inclusive, the portrayal of history has changed to accommodate different points of view. This reevaluation turned a lot of historical heroes into more complex people or even outright villains. From their point of view, whomever wins at politics gets to shape history.
Something something 1984 something something…
every day dude
Because they also have chosen to live completely separated from reality and they're happy to see the rest of the world joining them.
