    You mean like the "less" government that is now trying to utilize the military to suppress protests?

    I tell you what, the RW doesn't really want less government, they just don't want to pay for any of it.

    Did you acknowledge the racism of his religious leader and mentor?

    If I answer your question, will you address the question of Trump's supposed religious inclination, or is this just another attempt to do everything possible to change the subject?

    I don't care if Trump does or does not read the Bible, nor any other book. What I did like is the fact he walked the streets of D.C. But most importantly I also happen to like his policies and vision for the USA. Notice the people who call Trump names and criticize his every move never discuss his policies. If Trump disclosed his brand of TP some would criticize that.

    You mean the continued giveaway to the greedy idiot rich? Confrontational politics with everyone not his base and not misinformed totally? All he had to do to take over the GOP base was parrot all the garbage propaganda phony scandals and conspiracy theories and hate? The GOP is a bought off disgrace and swamp. What you think he has done is only promises and bluster for the base that have actually hurt Americans and done nothing.... His greatest achievement is not ruining the Obama recovery and not starting a ridiculous war based on garbage idiocy. See Iran.... And China for that matter. ..

    That every other modern country already have. Canada is not communist, misinformed one. Why are we the only country in the modern world that doesn't have health care living waged paid parental leave cheap college and the training great infrastructure and vacations and mainly taxing the rich and giant corporations their fair share? Thanks GOP and misinformed GOP base.... Your grandparents fought and died for those rights and you give it away and try and keep it away from your political opponents. Absolute idiocy..... Thanks for the worst inequality and upward mobility that you've given us the last 40 years with your ridiculous give away to the rich tax rates and policies.

    Conservatives don’t mind protests. God bless protesters and protests.

    What we hate is violence: bombings, looting, arson, and murder. We want those people locked up for life with no parole.

    I do want less government. For example, I want social security privatized. I’m scheduled to get $32K per year from SS when I retire. That would be tripled if I could have invested that on my own.

    No they won't. I lived in China for 3 years and there are still people in China who worship Mao. The average person has far greater respect for Deng Xiaoping, but there is still a large minority of people who worship Mao. That includes older people who lived through the worst of Mao's excesses. As astound as Trump's immorality and incompetence are, he never caused the deaths of millions. So if the cult of personality around Mao (or Stalin for that matter) never burst completely, why would the cult of personality around Trump ever burst?

    The overwhelming majority of Democrats believe in god.

    https://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/party-affiliation/

    In fact, the base of the democratic party is significantly made up of black and hispanic voters, who are overwhelmingly Christian.

    Right wingers love government. They just want government to do different things. Left-wingers want government to give people healthcare, education, and guarantee a decent wage and working conditions. On the other hand, Republicans want government to intervene to protect corporate profits, deport undocumented immigrants, crack down on protestors, and bomb brown people. When right wingers want to cut funding to ICE, the military, and police departments to limit the size of government, I will take them seriously about believing in "small government." Otherwise, their belief in "small government" is a transparent distortion of reality.

    Please start a thread about his policies!! He has accomplished nothing and has no policies. So far, the only major piece of legislation he successfully passed, was a major tax cut for the rich. I am not rich enough to benefit from that and I imagine you aren't either. Otherwise, what are his major legislative accomplishments?

    Last I saw Christ was quite divisive himself, stating that he came to bring not peace but a sword, and calling the scribes and pharisees hypocrites 7 times in one chapter.

    Government has very few, but crucial roles.

    It needs to maintain order domestically and protect our borders. That’s about it.

    That's what is known as a thought-terminating cliché. Moreover, it's a meaningless phrase. The actual size of the government is a consortium
    of buildings with employees, the cost of which is a small part of the budget. Actually, compared to the nation, it's really not all that big.

    So the point is, when you say 'big government' you are creating a boogeyman, a meaningless concept the right uses to control it's flock.

    Yes, there is the book of laws and regulations, the vast majority of which do not touch most human beings, and many are not even enforced. Trump is repealing a few, but many are environmental laws that do good, such as the law Trump repealed that disallowed mining companies from polluting local streams and rivers.

    And who created the Department of Homeland Security? Republicans

    and who created the Environmental Protection Agency ? Republicans

    And who is responsible currently for the deficits careening out of control to hitherto unseen heights? Republicans.

    And who is responsible for the bloated military budget? Republicans.

    And who is responsible for the Tariffs, which are tearing at America's heartland, and taxing our citizens? Republicans.

    Now there's the biggest lie ever told, that Republicans are for smaller government. The truth is, everyone loves big government, especially Republicans. Every time they advertise it, it's a classic bait and switch.

    At least Democrats are honest about it. Moreover, Republicans hate the government, which is why they are lousy at managing governments. Red states, overall, take more from the Treasury than they give, and Blue states give more to the US Treasury than they take.

    This is why the country is disarray, the administration is in a chaotic state.

    If you listen to the big lie by Republicans, you'd think that the government is entirely the doing of democrats, which is the biggest lie ever told.

    One thing they are not about, is moral character, the nominated the president with the worst moral character in history.

    This administration is the most corrupt administration in history. This adminstration is rife with scandal after scandal, yet republicans of today do not care. Once upon a time, moral character meant something to Republicans, but today, they could care less. They have sold their souls for some judges and tax breaks which turned out to be crumbs for most folks.

    And crime, the republicans are rife with crime in their administrations. the GOP is a runaway criminal enterprise.

    Looting a Cheesecake Factory because a bad cop killed an unarmed black man = not an anarchist.

    Voting for Trump = Anarchist.

    Holy disconnect, Batman!

    Remember Lincoln's proverb. You can fool some of the people all of the time. But that's not enough to save trump, and those fooled will be forever forced to polish his turds to save face.
    And we all know that trump will keep dropping self-serving turds for the rest of his life.

    Trump uses the Bible as a prop. Trump permanently separated children from parents for no greater crime than a class B misdemeanor.

    When Trump speaks, he speaks only to one group, his base. He has no interest in reaching out to democrats, none whatsoever.

    Christ was rebellious against oppression but he was also a great unifier, If you think you can extrapolate who Christ was to who Trump is, you are mental gymnast extraordinaire.
