(7,016 posts)A modicum of historical awareness of the dangers of fascist demagogues like him by the majority of todays electorate would have relegated him to the Love Canal of history long ago. An openly Hitler spouting psychopath who pledges to be a dictator would have been, at the very least, tarred and feathered by the generation of Americans who sacrificed mightily to defeat the last bloodthirsty incarnation of such an evil madman in world war 2 and to ameliorate the death and destruction he inflicted. He most assuredly would not have been a major party political candidate.

Sometimes people have to learn things the hard way.

That said I believe the majority of the electorate as the last election and intervening elections have shown still reject such profoundly anti American ideas and, with our utmost efforts will once and for all repudiate them and its vile vessel.

It is up to We The People now.
No one else will save the day.
Given human nature, I seriously doubt the fascists will give up.
They see how close they came to owning it all.

This fund would go to the treasonous traitor tfg (redundant, I know) if he wins.
Otherwise, it can be used by the US government to provide a better world for everyone when he loses.
Any takers? I thought not.
