Why are Trump supporters pushing fascist communism anti american politics? What do you see in a Trump dictatorship that will benefit you?
Should this man try to break more federal laws by claiming to be a president the USA economy will crumble, retirement checks will quit showing up, only the very rich will have health care and mercenaries will be patrolling the streets in armored vehicles with AR 15's in hand dressed in combat gear.
Ttrump and his close associates CANNOT be trusted!!!!!

Their polices are unpopular, and the majority of Americans do not want
white male christian minority rule. They do not want a dictatorship.
So the GOP has to sell the idea of fascism over democracy.

A large swatch of tRump support comes from fundamentalist Xians. Christianity is an anti-democratic belief system whose adherents pine to spend eternity in a benign dictatorship. There are no votes in heaven. Its basis is a hatred and rejection of humanity and the human condition.
These believers also believe that their god bestows power on people, and they imagine that tRump is in effect Jesus emissary here on Earth. So, if that means spending 20 to 50 years living under a god-approved dictatorship, so be it. Consider it training for what eternity will be like. God knows best
especially when what god knows happens to align with your own existing beliefs, prejudices and hatreds.
