He’s coming right out and saying it. What more do people need? You’ll be safe if you’re a white, cishet, Christian man. Anyone else who helps this guy into office could be potentially signing their own death warrant and he’s coming right out and admitting it. Promoting it.

    Have you thought about the possibility that Trump wants to be a dictator? He’s said a lot of things that imply that or do you just think he’s joking? Usually when you have a failed coup and don’t want to leave your office, people see that person as wanting to be a dictator. A dictator is against democracy, it’s the definition of a dictator.

      The question isn’t whether he’s against democracy (which he is IMO) but whether he explicitly said that he’s against democracy (which he didn’t).

        tbh, he could have been saying in or on, Snopes is just one person’s opinion on a big site. Not sure why you’re fighting on this hill. We have the same opinion that he’s against democracy, so why are you sticking up for him on this instance? He’s not gotten credit for so many times saying he’s a fascist, why do you care if he gets credit this one time even if it isn’t due?

          I think having correct knowledge is important for its own sake - if in fact he didn’t say it, I don’t want to have the incorrect belief that he said it. I also think that understanding what beliefs Trump and his supporters actually have is useful for understanding what they’re doing and what they might do in the future. Know thy enemy and all that…

            True, but it’s really hard to tell what he means and is saying all the time, because his followers can take away one thing and the people who don’t like him can take away another. I’ll give him kudos for that part, he’s a great con man.
