Yes. Because the 'guy on our side' will get things through Obama never would have, with the blessings of the Right.

Left foot, right foot, down the road to totalitarianism. So it has been for a while.

There's no way a Republican who is white and a man will be able to get away with one-tenth of what Obama has gotten away with so far. Suddenly, the other two branches of government will suddenly assert themselves as co-equal and will not acquiesce to the president as they have to Obama. Beck is an alarmist who speaks in hyperbole all the time.

The thing that concerned me about Obama was those that supported him more than Obama himself.

The same is true of Trump. The number of conservatives who have thrown out their core values to support this man is an interesting thing to watch. It’s why I say they are like the 19 year old that sneaks into a “nudie bar” and falls for a pole dancer - and wants to marry her. I get why he’s all twitterpated, but it will not end well.

Hitler v Stalin... maybe not... but Marxism vs Nationalism/Populism all over again? Inevitable historical forces? The rise of nationalism/populism took place in Germany because of the Treaty of Versailles destroyed the German economy, and Germans were made to feel like second-class citizens while still being the most productive engine in Europe during thoe hard times. There are parallels to that today, with the Left blaming the Conservatives for all the ills in life, while still living off of the productivity of others. If one can get past Godwin’s Law and the stigma of Hitler and Stalin, an argument can be made.
