Daniel's post is totally off base and the standard Democratic Party talking points. He should have listen to the many authentic liberals who spoke at Rescue the Republic.
Matt just had a post about the media's low approval rating, which they have earned by the constant lying propaganda that they put out.
I'm not defending Trump, and some or all of your criticisms have merit.
However, in the interest of fairness and objectivity (as someone who eschews political parties on principle), it should be pointed out:
The Democratic Party has weaponized the media against its political rivals, has engineered overt threats to the First Amendment, has actually weaponized the Justice Department against its political rivals (not just Trump, but third-party candidates as well as members of its own party), implemented overly loose voting practices, and engineered three primaries in a row to achieve the desired result in an undemocratic fashion, all in the effort to tilt elections in their favor. These actions amount to a sustained assault on democratic institutions, eroding public trust in everything from the electoral process, to judicial independence, to the media, and to government agencies like public health.
I could add things like destroying the public's trust in the Democratic Party by insisting that an obviously failing Joe Biden was sharp as a tack, and then turning on a dime, when it became impossible to deny any more; and pushing forward a candidate that refused to talk to anybody about anything substantial. But I don't want to pile on.
BTW, this is the first time I have voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1972.
And they spend the day after their defeat blaming it on misogyny and racism and bigotry. They should really stop to consider that maybe enough people finally noticed that Dems have become fucking insane?
I am pretty sure Trump isn’t the dictator you think he is. Maybe you should ask your neighbors why they support Trump? Trump represents a rebuke to the globalist neoliberal (neocon) worldview. Whether he can effectuate any change on that front remains to be seen as his immigration, deficit and COVID record is poor for someone with those ideological alignments. The New World Order definitely isn’t MAGA, but I’m not sure MAGA is the force to stop it, I’m afraid it may be a strawman. Mr. Medina I encourage you to look beyond the left right dichotomy and see it more as a center vs periphery. I think those on the populist left and the populist right agree on much more than they agree with the neoliberal right or left. I think being precise about visions for the world is more useful than demagoguery.

You'll be happy to know that was a euphemism. He was referring to "day one" executive orders, to resume the drilling and border policies that were stopped by Biden's executive orders. He's making a joke about how it feels when you sign a stack of them in Day One.
I seriously hope that those that have misunderstood this acknowledge their mistintetpretation on Day Two, when it turns out he didn't become a dictator after all...
You're simply projecting the Superiority Complex of the Plantation Democrats onto the Non-Woke, m'dear 🧐
Well.
