Will i can’t say i am not nervous about Trump. I am nervous about whoever the next President will be.
Again, the lesson of the “strong man” in the link in the OP is really the core point of the creation of this thread. Trump’s rise just made it more poignant to me as of late. It is a real risk in every country, and in every generation. It’s a bigger risk now because of the times in which we live, just as the Germans put their confidence in a “strong man” in the early 30’s because of the times in which they lived and their country’s needs. Eventually he grew beyond their control. And who even knows what HIS motives were at first?
We must always beware the strong man and, more importantly, CREATING one ourselves. All men are fallible. Trump may be GREAT! But we need to keep our heads. We don’t want to be like the young man that marries the really hot “bit**” because, well, she’s just so HOT and it will be great.
Except it isn’t.
It ultimately is a God question.
What are the people doing with God.
On a personal level, we could (again this is understatement) do worse than America, but on a political, official level it really stinks here.
Rednecks who believe in God, to put it very broadly, may prove to be the key here. To be the energy that both gives a Trump power and keeps him honest.
Again, the lesson of the “strong man” in the link in the OP is really the core point of the creation of this thread.
Sure,okay, that could be a possiblity.
Trump, could be the “strong man” or he could simply be a strong man and we pass up our only oportunity to we have to set things right.
Anyhow,my vote doesn’t count. Because the nomination, if history repeats itself Jeb Bush, will chosen long before i get a choice.
It seems kind of UnAmerican really?
So, the presure is on you early states not to pick a dictator. Thanks in advance.
Is it the Nationalism that has people concerned? He is not hinting about rounding people up and exterminating them. He is talking about rule of law.
Is having pride in one’s country a bad thing. He want to compete with China and Mexico. He isn’t saying the government should take over Ford or Nabisco.
I think obama has brainwashed people. He is the one who acted like a fascist and yet people are worried Trump might be one?
