Related: About this forumDonald Trump is a clear and present danger and the largest political threat of our lifetime.
This is what we need to understand when we talk about this election, especially as it pertains to unity.
Donald Trump is DANGEROUS! This is a vicious, vile, radical, bigoted, rotten, and very dangerous guy completely unfit for the American presidency.
These facts are manifest and self-evident.
Trump can not be allowed to get anywhere near the people's White House.
Unity is therefore paramount, and getting out there and doing any little bit we each can to help our ticket win in this election is so important.

(1,656 posts)Trump will attempt to further destroy America and could succeed. That depends on the Congress. If it is a republican majority Congress - there is that chance although even a republican majority Congress might mitigate the most disastrous policies Trump wants to implement.
The old saying is that it takes time to turn a big ship. The incrementalist subtly changes laws to screw America's middleclass and turn America into an oligarchy. They pacify the ignorant or stupid or blind (figuratively speaking) Americans by throwing 'bones' to the citizenry.
