How can a “leading historian” at Yale be dumber than a sack of rocks?

Leading historian at Yale,

Wow. That's like being the tallest midget in Norway.

We had the same worries with Obama. He armed all sorts of agencies with military surplus equipment.

Where was this historian then?

The thing that matters the most is to realize that in moments like this your actions really do matter.

He’s right. Time to go and buy some more ammo.

Hey Timothy, are you pro 2A?

Didn’t think so. Go back and try again.

Yeah, a “coup” against judicial tyranny, voter fraud, and the bureaucratic swamp ruling the country with regulations. That would be a “coup” for the Constitution, and it’s already in motion. MAGA.

More projection from the intellectuals who hold ordinary, free Americans in contempt.

“Snyder explained to Salon’s Chauncey DeVega that Trump could theoretically mount his own version of the Reichstag fire in Nazi Germany.”

WTF

I think what he’s getting at, is that Trump and his people would suspend freedoms and suspend elections.

I don’t see that happening.

I saw somebody on TV who said Trump is like Hitler. And they said how what is happening now parallels the steps Hitler took to create the Nazi dictatorship.. I sure don’t see that, but that’s what some of these people think..........

Trump’s polling numbers remain at historic lows??!! Where does he get that from? Trumps numbers have been pretty decent.
