Around the summer of 2018 or so I was enjoying a nice lunch alone in a Canadian spa (after having a nice massage, facial, etc). I overheard two worried Canadians at another table FRETTING about Trump and going on and on about his trade deals and tariffs with Canada, how he wasn’t a reliable trade partner and on and on. It was the funniest thing. Trump REALLY got into the Canadian’s heads; they obsessed about him.

And here I was the actual Trump voter, enjoying Canada, relaxing, not worried about a thing, and comfortable knowing Trump respected Canada but was putting my interests first as a US Citizen. Imagine that.

Right wing is anything the Left disagrees with.

"Every Conservative leader I disagree with is Hitler a right-wing dictator."

Little more than applying Godwin's Law to an unnamed future conservative who believes in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Why wait until 2024?

TDS on Full Display by a Rabid Leftist Lunatic that fears Conservatives and President Trump will regain control of the USA and perhaps return this country to true Constitutional gov’t and diminish liberalism to the point of irrelevancy.
Will this actually happen? Unknown. But, Leftists are very fearful this may transpire.

To characterize dictatorships you have generally military, socialist/Communist, and royal. There is not really a “right wing dictatorship.” Putin has a veneer of being a right wing dictator but his KGB background fuzzes that. Pinochet has been the only conservative (as we define conservative here) dictator I can think of and he stepped down when the Pope told him it was time to go He left an economy and freedoms that later socialist rulers have not been able to efface, at least not yet.

Thomas Homer-Dixon, an executive director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University in British Columbia...

Dollars to donuts this guy is somehow on the CIA payroll.
Just like the recent whining by retired US generals, this is all about the left wing projecting its dictatorial ambitions onto its opponents, to shape the future political battlefield. They have no intention of allowing a non-swamp Republican to take office, no matter how the votes total in 2024.

I thought due to Global Climate Change we only had 6 more years left, according to America's Official Crackpot, so I'm confused...

Climate Change Death in 6 years or a Right Wing Dictatorship by 2030... 🤓

whatever republican who wins it, it doesnt matter

It will be called a right-wing dictatorship

If a Democrat wins it'll be blamed on vote fraud. If a Republican wins it will be blamed on voter suppression. Either way we'll never have another election that half the population won't think was rigged.

The history of dictatorships are almost exclusively left wing.

Franco, Pinochet, Stroessner in Paraguay, Somoza in Nicaragua, Batista in Cuba, the military junta in Argentina and Bolivia and Honduras and El Salvador and just about every other Central and South American country.

Totalitarianism is not just a leftist solution. Right wingers have resorted to it many times as well.
