That is the problem with having one person being in charge. What will it take for MAGA to be permanent?

Mass devotion to the causes of integrity and patriotism in the minds of the public.

That's why the left goes for the schools, to disable critical thinking while the kids are young.

An end to the faux republic, called a democracy and a return to the sanity of Monarchy or Fascism. The Trump don't have the requisite virtue for this - sorry!

It would no longer even be possible to return to a republic with the mix of undesirables we have in this country now.

Okay, RD3, I agree. We have the situation that almost 50% of the country has been made dependent on the central government. The other almost 50% despise them for that dependency. So how can you reconcile the difference?

That is the basic national debate that Trump faces. The austerity that he has adopted is going to hurt a significant portion of the former as they will have to grow up and adapt to a system where they have to have responsibility for themselves.

It is not going to be easy.

I understand how monarchy chooses successors - and in my opinion that makes it one of the worst forms of government.

Fascism is pretty clear on how a country is run after the glorious leader seizes power, but is not so clear on succession (maybe because they don't generally last longer than the glorious leader?).

Pass it on to his son - modern monarchy! In contrast, Hitler said he would allow a vote after the war and step down if voted out.

Saying it and doing it there is a difference.

Never mind Hitler was a fucking lunatic by the end of the war.

Well yes. I like to believe he would have stepped down, but I don't know.

He also said, My spirit shall rise from the grave and the world will know that I was right. That part is coming true.

Says who?

Good grief the man was a lunatic who damn near destroyed his country and an entire generation of European people.

It is a fact that he was a drug addict by the end of the war, and probably was having a tough time accepting that тАЬhisтАЭ war was lost. Egomania dies painfully.
