“They will be the useful idiots that would go first under their elected in despot dictatorship. America is following the very same path as the Roman empire.. Rome was a Republic before it became a empire.”

I copied your post because you get it - that is what is happening - we are following the path of Rome. The people are angry and they have found their dictator who makes them think he can, by himself, fix all their problems and kick out all those they are angry at. We have a dictator now who they think is evil, and they want to replace him with what they think is a “good” dictator.

Anger can cause good people to make bad choices.

Anger can cause good people to make bad choices.

Angry Mobs usually gravitate towards "good" strongmen who claim to have what it takes to crush bad strongmen. The problem being that man alone, be he emporer or king, is a weak and wicked vessel for liberty based governance to flow from.

History keeps repeating itself. Hail Caesar!

Revenge is an understatement.


Let me guess: “To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!”

Yeah, I’m O.K. with that.

America is following the same path as Roman Empire.

If you call wanting to smear them with pitch and then light them on fire as “revenge” then Luntz has it right.

You’re right, and I’ve noticed it as well.

What they see as “revenge”, I see as “self-defense”.

My point is that Sanders is reaching out to disaffected white voters who are in Trump's camp. His Vermont constituency has probably given him enormous insight into white, working-class people. He's smart to appeal to them - Hillary is too dumb to even know they exist. But since he has no money, is a socialist, I doubt he'll bring too many people over from Trump's camp.

I've been seeing "Bernie" bumper stickers pop up in my deep blue (East SF Bay) neighborhood like so many button mushrooms. Very few "Hillary" bumper stickers. Still see a car here and there with a BO/Biden sticker (why?).

This tells me there are plenty of PO'd voters here who'd like a change and for them, "Hillary" is not sufficient, and they are not ready to admit their mistake in voting for BO. I don't know what that indicates in terms of a silent groundswell of support for Trump.

It does seem to suggest that there is a lot of anger, more than people are willing to publicly admit. We may be surprised here.
