They are literally 'dynastic' cult sheep cause they are allowed to be openly racist nasty again...



What I don't understand is, if you wanted to create the fourth reich... and one can only assume that this is the plan with these fuckers... why choose this family of utter dimwits.

I mean come on....If they feel they need to move to an authoritarian despotic regime because religious and racist bollocks, surely they could come up with something better than the Trumps to fulfil their nasty nazi dreams of white power?

Why on earth would they not choose a family with a stronger gene set and BRAINS...
Ivanka has no agency, she is a plastic barbie who has never spoken with anything but Trumps voice - what grown arsed woman does that?
The smug wankers that are the brothers have no chins - which tells you everything you need to know...
They all believe they are clever but they are so stupid that they believe because privilege bought them an education that this translates into intellectual superiority in comparison to the hoi polloi... fucking idiots.

Trump cultists would choose this family to be their dynastic heroes? There is only one explanation. Permission for in your face public hate has been granted for the first time in 40 years, and they want to cling onto it for the next 50 years, and in their white supremacist dreams eventually take us back a 100 years. They will literally give up democracy for this... Racist Nazi Zombie Fuckers...

Why bother having a revolution at all? Better to stick to Mad King George 3rd who at least had an excuse for being mad...
21st Century republicans, hankering after a 16th century mode of governance? Heh

Outside of the South, people joining or supporting the 19teens and '20s Klan were more concerned with immigration than race. "Real" Americans "standing up to" the "not the best people" coming from "s**thole countries" like Italy, Poland, Russia, etc.

After all, they were Jews and Catholics, so it's not like they could really assimilate, right?

They lack any vision at all beyond the immediate moment. And their only vision for the immediate moment is to "win," which means shout louder and be nastier than anyone else. In this respect, Mr Trump is their beau ideal.

You think government should be effective, nay you have an expectation that it can and will be effective. They don't have any such expectation, indeed, they know that whoever is at the top is going to screw them over. All that is left is the hollow triumph of being enabled to dump on someone even less fortunate than they.

Not surprising if you haven't. "History is written by the victor", and sometimes that means erasing parts of it. Keep in mind here that "Democrats" here are of the conservative Old South variety.

Red Shirts (United States)
The Red Shirts or Redshirts of the Southern United States were white supremacist[1][2] paramilitary terrorist groups that were active in the late 19th century in the last years of, and after the end of, the Reconstruction era of the United States. Red Shirt groups originated in Mississippi in 1875, when Democratic Party private terror units adopted red shirts to make themselves more visible and threatening to Southern Republicans, both whites and freedmen. Similar groups in the Carolinas also adopted red shirts.

Among the most prominent Red Shirts were the supporters of Democratic Party candidate Wade Hampton during the campaigns for the South Carolina gubernatorial elections of 1876 and 1878.[3] The Red Shirts were one of several paramilitary organizations, such as the White League in Louisiana, arising from the continuing efforts of white Democrats to regain political power in the South in the 1870s. These groups acted as "the military arm of the Democratic Party."[4]

While sometimes engaging in violent acts of terrorism, the Red Shirts, the White League, rifle clubs, and similar groups in the late nineteenth century worked openly and were better organized than the secret vigilante groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. They used organization, intimidation and force to achieve political purposes of restoring the Democrats to power, overturning Republicans, and repressing civil and voting rights of freedmen.[5] During the 1876, 1898 and 1900 campaigns in North Carolina, the Red Shirts played prominent roles in intimidating non-Democratic Party voters.

According to E. Merton Coulter in The South During Reconstruction (1947), the red shirt was adopted in Mississippi in 1875 by "southern brigadiers" of the Democratic Party who were opposed to black Republicans. The Red Shirts disrupted Republican rallies, intimidated or assassinated black leaders, and discouraged and suppressed black voting at the polls.

The ubiquitous t shirt is the personal version of billboarding, or parroting what you’re told. It’s like reading the cover of a book and knowing instantly what the plot is without having to invest your precious time reading the book. It’s shorthand for superficiality in as few words as possible.

Now, he has the EU breaking up, NATO in tatters, The Mideast increasingly under is sway, Brazil and a number of other countries falling in line. We've been played like a fiddle.

When Trump came on the scene as a GOP candidate in 2015 I thought it was a joke. I remember thinking, "This clown wants to run for President? Good luck with that pal!" But the media followed him around like a puppy reporting on his every move and his popularity grew. I listened to him brag about how great and brilliant he is and that "only he" can fix this country and I laughed. He made promises that were pure BS and I wondered how people can take him seriously.
Then there was one bombshell after another. The "grab 'em by the pussy" comment I thought would surely take him down but it didn't! He continued on, making racist and cruel comments and his popularity only grew. I was amazed. He proved over and over again that he is an imbecile. Hell he couldn't even spell hamburger (hamberder) for crying out loud. "Prince of Whales" was another gem. He didn't know why the Civil War was fought nor did he know what NATO was for. Sigh. It was embarrassing.
The entire 3+ years he has been in office have been a calamity of epic proportions. He screws up everything he touches and most of his inner circle is in jail or under investigation. To any sane person he is an idiot, a liar and totally crooked.
But yet for 30 to 40% of the population he is the next best thing to Jesus! To them he is a "genius", a "devout Christian" and the "best President in history!" They practically worship him. If he farted, they would rush to sniff it. It's bizarre. I have trouble wrapping my brain around it. WHY is he so popular with part of the population?
Then I realized that there is only one reason that he is so popular with the GOP base. He is an xenophobic racist just like they are which gives them permission to spew their hate in public. That is why they love him. They want a world dominated by straight,, White Christians and they think Trump will give it to them. They love it when he promotes laws that oppress minorities. Yeah keep those Muslims out! Put migrants in cages! Make it legal to discriminate against gays and Trans people! Mock other democracies! We're number one again damn it! USA! USA! USA!
We need to accept the fact that a lot of our fellow American's are authoritarian bigots who would put half of America in concentration camps or kill them if they could. Yes, they are that sick and twisted. Trump cultist--and they are a cult--are dangerous because they are totally devoted to the Dear Leader and would do anything he asks. I have no doubt that if (hopefully) Trump is voted out of office that his followers will never accept it. (Neither will Trump for that matter. His ego wouldn't let him admit he lost.) So he could call on his follows to defend him against this "coup" and they would! It fact they are itching for a showdown. It could and would get very, very ugly. You could have gun-toting morons in the streets looking to gun down anyone with a Democratic sign in their yard. It would be the Civil War that they crave. Don't believe me? Go look at the comments over in places like Breitbart or Worldnetdaily. They love to talk about "shootin' the libs".
We are in very trying times. We have a fascist idiot in the White House, sycophant Republicans in Congress and MAGA morons everywhere. Let's hope American survives as a democracy and not become a fascist theocracy.

to answer the posited question. Because they needed a corporate front man to perforate laws for corporate interests. Because they could never win by being transparent about their agenda, they needed a con man regarded as smart by masses of people. Because they needed someone who had deep historical connections with these small town masses of cutthroat capitalists. Because they needed someone who could sell the paranoid agenda to the paranoid who would readily believe the ideology. Because they needed foreign help to win.

Reverse engineer it. Name another who could have pulled off this grifter agenda. And what you're not computing is that this is the same agenda that has driven GOP politics for 40 years, it's just that now they have real power and can enact the whole thing without blowback. If Romney or McCain or Jeb had been elected, it would have been milder, but it would have been the same agenda. Mitts, for example, was always in favor of drilling for oil just about everywhere, just like Trump. It's the radical right capitalists - Ross, Kudlow, Icahn (Trump's BFF) - that drive the ideology. And these folks have more common interest with international oligarchs than they do with the United States. They see government as the enemy. Reagan told us so.

We got our asses kicked until we learned to respect the military ability of the Nazis.

Trump is a very effective fighter. Give the devil his due:
there would be an accusation or attack against the Bush or Obama administrations. The next day, maybe two days later, a well written, mostly factual statement would be released to the press, with follow-up answers sometimes. With Trump, an attack, accusation, or negative fact is replied to in minutes, or an hour. the reply may be barely literate, utterly unfactual and laughable, but it's out there in minutes. This method of defense by offense works very well, and Trump (or his handlers) are masters. Like trying to box someone who throws a lightning-fast punch as soon as you throw one; to the audience, it looks like they are holding their own.

No matter how much you despise your opponent, never ever underestimate them. The SS fought hard and often had a tremendous kill ratio, the Kempi-Ti fought brutally to the last man. Jared Kushner may seem to be an odd twit, but he did a brilliant job of targeting every ad dollar in 2016, regardless of what daddy in law had to pay to get him into Harvard.

There are very moneyed and deeply intelligent interests behind Cheeto Benito, too.
