“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.
Trump going after the tyrant vote.
And the time before that, and the time before that…… it’s literally what they say every four years.
I don’t know about that, I’ve been paying attention since 2004ish and I don’t remember Romney being portrayed as a destroyer of democracy, his big thing was “binders of women” and tying his dog to the roof of his car… Lol Same with McCain, our biggest issue with McCain was Palin and the absolute joke of a person she is with all the newspapers she definitely totally reads.
Technically, Romney was before I was legally allowed to vote. Just saying.
McCain… the rhetoric was there if it was less “end of democracy” and more … a different kind of end to democracy? I dunno. They’ve been using scare tactics to insist we need to vote for their still-pretty-bad candidate.
(Except Obama, I didn’t think I’d like him… but he was okay.)
