    No it’s redundant because he’s part of the subject of the article posted and my list wasn’t meant to be an exhaustive dissertation on the subject of fear mongering authoritarianism.

    So maybe take a step back before you accuse someone of doing mental gymnastics. An obviously flippant comment such as mine shouldn’t warrant such an antagonistic response.

      Nah. We good.

      Maybe take a step back and say what you mean. Make sure you dont sound like the perpetual “All of the good stuff is attributable to my guy in office, but all the bad stuff is the result of ‘it takes an election cycle for actions to take effect.’”

      Happy you can see that America’s biggest problem is a Democrat who is behaving like a neocon, while the Blue MAGA legion go “bUt TrUmP!!!”

        You have a hammer, and every problem is a nail. I never said anything like what you’re suggesting, and you’re reading into it what you want to.
