Not even close. That was the propaganda of the dem party trying to get him elected. Half the posts on the net are propaganda from some group or another trying to build a narrative, since that's apparently the only way people can make sense of the world anymore. And here we are years later repeating the same fucking story because the propaganda affects both the supporters AND detractors.

Well he can't exactly kill the world 's richest, can he? Its a stronger indictment about the risks of wealth inequality than about the morality of the rich.

Cops will take as much freedom as you give them and often they will attempt more than they have been granted. Never give cops an inch they are not legally entitled to. In democracies, laws exist to grant people freedom from the power of the state, not to grant the state freedom from the power of the people. Any laws that grant cops protection from the people are laws of a tyranny. We get only the protections of the state that our rights make possible and no more. Trading freedom for security gets us neither.

No.

Without democracy, capitalism just becomes fascism.

How is this possibly going to be tolerated in business environments?

Narcissistic individuals become paranoid when they can't find a suitable excuse for their own failures. Because they can't admit fault, they must always externalize the cause. Something is at fault but it can't be them as avoiding fault is their most important article of psychological faith.

So, if their narcissistic coping skills are inadequate and can't construct a believable excuse, given the circumstance, they can't effectively point the finger. All that's left is the pathological, egotistical desire to point the finger away from themselves and when they can't point at anything specific? That manifests as paranoia. As they habitually dismiss their own fault, the only possibility is an unknown force that is attacking them by forcing them to experience being responsible for their own failures.

Trump and his entire administration is filled with these people. Their narcissism also makes them incompetent, so failures will continue to pile up, eventually threatening Trump himself. When Trump inevitably becomes paranoid, as there is nothing left to blame, he will use his authority to start attacking unrelated targets that he blames for his failures, hoping it will prevent the failures. But it won't. It will accelerate his failures and eventually lead to the end of him. He already blames the media, the democrats, the scientists, the public, foreign nations etc. for the failures of his leadership.

All because his ego is so malformed that he can't endure feeling responsibility for failures, while ironically seizing a position of immense responsibility, one he will inevitably fail at. His greatest failure will be his inability to endure failure.

But he didn't say he will...

You got enough energy to be homeless?

Wrong. That's absolutely what your responsibility as a citizen is, to ensure the protection of democracy from everyone in any position capable of undermining it.

Not directly, it just helps build a world in which empathy and freedom are dead.

All to better manipulate you into giving more money to a corporation than the value of the product or service they give you in return. This entire fucking system is to manage how much the powerful are able to exploit the weak.

Free this man. The wealthy psychopaths need something to be fearful of as it's the only emotional trigger that will keep their behavior from genociding the poor.

Lol I need this shirt.

They will follow us everywhere. If the medium is commercial, the capitalists will capture it. If its public, the extreme social interest groups will capture it.

Stalin would have, and possibly did, murder non-binary folk without hesitation.

If all you can see is the hype train, you shouldn't be making those decisions for yourself.

These people are threats to our actual lives.

But their tolerance for making you suffer differs significantly.

Until we are forced to replace them with technological bandaids and hope the ecosystem keeps churning. Like we've been doing for a couple centuries atleast.
