Napoleon Bonaparte: [dictating a letter] To my dear Prince Alexis... I did not "usurp" the crown. I found it, in the gutter, and I, I picked it up with my sword, and it was the people, Alexis, the people who put it on my head. He who saves a nation violates no law.

Well sadly, the Dems created a situation where a sociopathic charlatan like Trump could be elected. Even after Jan 6th and all the other nonsense. That's how awful the Dems message has been.

I'm amazed that there are people I thought i used to just have political disagreements with, who are now buying whole hog into this "President can do anything he wants" rhetoric.

Well, you see, Obama created the USDS to fix the Obamacare website, so it's actually his fault that Trump is trying to seize dictatorial power. Also, it's a good thing, and any judge who tries to stop Trump from doing whatever he wants should be arrested.

you're seeing how many people do not actually have sincerely held beliefs.

You're seeing people legitimately argue that Russia were the good guys invading Ukraine and that the bad guys were the US/NATO. On a Gamecock message board the other day, guys were arguing that the Democrats are a bigger threat to the US than the Nazis ever were.

What a scary time to be alive.

I hope I'm right that Americans don't truly want to live under an authoritarian. But each day I get more and more worried that a significant portion of our population want just that.

...and beyond what they can pay, and they start to die, it will be too late.

Remember when conservatives argued against "death counsels" with the ACA? They will get worse than that.

No wonder the white house is barricaded up. They know what's coming. But it will be too late.

You think he came up with that on his own and he wasn't quoting Napoleon? What's your interpretation of that tweet? Has there ever been a dictator who didn't justify seizing power by claiming to be saving their country?

39% of the country has been conditioned over the last 9 years to defend anything he says and deflect any criticism. That tweet is seriously next level.

Trump has been practicing his trolling routine on Justin Trudeau.

MAGA and the conservatives that go along with this can NEVER say they can't about the founding fathers or this decree.
