[Da Coyote]

“Political scientists”

The uber father of oxymorons.

[Junk Silver]

“The leader shows only a weak commitment to democratic rules.
He or she denies the legitimacy of opponents.
He or she tolerates violence.
He or she shows some willingness to curb civil liberties or the media.”

The authors seem to have misspelled Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton’s names.

[NFHale]

“...Two political scientists specializing in how democracies decay and die...”

Clearly these two f-tard geniuses were asleep for the previous eight years of the Illegitimate One.

1.The leader shows only a weak commitment to democratic rules.

2.He or she denies the legitimacy of opponents.

3.He or she tolerates violence.

4.He or she shows some willingness to curb civil liberties or the media.

So, Obama was a dangerous authoritarian.

I was typing my post #6 as you were posting yours. I’m a slow typer. GMTA.

[PghBaldy]

Given that Obama associated with, or followed, BEFORE the election, Rev Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Bill Ayers, etc, he surely showed he supports tyranny, violence, and anti-democratic beliefs.

Important book?

I was going to write something, but you said it better!!

[Arm_Bears]

Their premise is garbage.

The US is not a democracy.

This is a REPUBLIC. Say the Pledge of Allegiance, if you know it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He meets the crieria only if you use fake news sources for your “research.”

[clintonh8r]

I heard the clowns interviewed a few weeks ago. It was obvious they never would have written this if clinton had been elected.

[BRL]

The left wants dem9cracy without citizenship. He does threaten that.

[abclily]

The 4 warning signs sound just like Obama’s actions.

[rockrr]

Exactly that!

Those four attributes more closely define 0bongo than they do Trump.

[Williams]

Totally silly.
