Loyalty to Trump, vs any actually qualifications for staff/cabinet
Used military for photo ops
Used AG for personal legal matters.
Promoted conspiracy theories that helped him.
Encouraged a coup to overturn the election he lost.
Put loyal persons in key Pentagon positions, after he lost the election.
Fired anyone who did not bow to his wishes

That is off the top of my head.

Now, a quick search.

Was Trump a warmonger?

83

It is…but also, a little sad.

There was a time many posters who were decent conservatives on the forum, who used to make some decent points. That went away with many of them, post Trump.

84

That’s a good description of a leftist.

So you hate us what else is new?

Authoritarians can be lefties or righties.

Trump was our first real Authoritarian POTUS. Adams was close.

A lot of them either left or got a TO.
And I agree, they were decent conservatives who recognized the con and were pissed off that their party was being hijacked.
It will be interesting to see what becomes of the party of Trump.
I hope it won’t take long to implode.

88

I do not hate you. I disagree with your politics.

89

Indeed.

I still disagree with many of them politically, but I do respect their integrity.

I do hope the R party recovers, and gets back to being conservatives, who believe in verifiable facts and science.

I was not the one that stated that there were no decent conservatives posting here any more. Sounds like you hate the conservatives that are still posting here. Except for the few true conservatives who agree with the leftist.

So Trump was a warmonger too, got it.

95

Probably should include Nixon and Jackson.

Some would also include Lincoln and FDR.

Trump is the only one to inspire and possibly coordinate an overthrow of an election.

Pardon me asking but what’s the difference between an authentic liberal such as yourself and an equality liberal such as myself.

A liberal is a liberal is a liberal in my book.

Libs are not liberal by any definition. In fact libs are opposite to liberalism.

They have made up their own definitions for a few terms/words.

It is odd.
