A few main points
Reek? Really?
What have I said that you consider a "theory"?
To the contrary, you certainly have espoused a number of right-wing ones.
Right-Wing, always Right-Wing-why don't you look at the issues, evaluate, and analyze all the details and consider all points of view
instead of throwing out Right-wing" or like your other buddy here with "Fascist".?
Not even close.
I went to the U of Wis. to study engineering and never met a far-left, or for that matter, far-right professor.
But I love how you keep making incorrect (and insulting) assumptions about where/how I was "led to believe" my views, and that I've somehow been brainwashed, when you are the one exhibiting the symptoms of that.
How long ago was that?
I've been observing the political scene for nearly 70 years, and I've never before seen so many that readily accept the big lies and distortions of their right-wing leaders and news postings.
Perhaps it's a sign of the end times.
Did you ever consider the possibility that there are many big lies are coming from the Left? Why are you so dedicated to a Left POV?
So you think posting her family with guns on a Christmas Card is not any indication of her beliefs about guns and Christianity?
I suppose Jesus should be there in the middle, holding his AR-15, before I make judgment.
She likes guns. Maybe she is over the top with guns but she is not harming anyone with her guns. As far as Jesus goes,
that is a whole other religious subject. and there are gun-toters and non-gun toters who worship Jesus so its irrelevant.
People have been armed against one another with weapons for centuries. WHY? Do you think all people are good at heart and
you should lay down your defense and they will do the same? The violent criminal mind has always existed and is willing to take
advantage of any weakness or lack of self defense that the good and peaceful people make known. It has to start with each persons "character" first.
What is the nature of a persons character? What is their morality? "do they have a sense of empathy for other people etc?
Straighten those factors out in people and no one will need guns to defend themselves against the criminal mind who has no
consideration or empathy for human life.
Nope, not me.
It's the NRA and its gun advocates that refuse to consider any form of gun regulations (Oh no, they are trying to take away our beautiful guns), that I take issue with.
When the 2nd Amendment was written there were only a few types of slow firing guns available (a few rounds per minute max), so there was no obvious reason to specify that the type of guns could be regulated, thus all it said was the "the right to bear arms should not be infringed."
It naturally made no mention of the type of guns.
But now we have guns that fire multiple rounds a second. Common sense should tell you that we don't need to be awash in military assault type rifles, whose specific purpose is to rapidly kill a large number of people with a high-velocity bullet designed to inflict severe damage (A single bullet lands with a shock wave intense enough to blow apart a skull and demolish vital organs.).
Do you really believe you need such an assault rifle to protect yourself in you own home?
Obviously that is not common-sense to the right-wing gun nuts so here we are, awash in every manner of super deadly guns.
You think that's news?
It's how easy that can get guns that's the big problem.
And don't give me crap about them just stealing guns.
They are easy to steal because out country is awash in guns, since the regulations are so slack (it's easier to buy a gun then to get a driver's license), and the right-wing thinks the cure for that is more guns (let's arm every teacher).
do you think all guns are made in the USA? Where are AK-47s made, the choice of cartels and criminal gangs?
Yes there is a masive quantity of guns in the U.S. How did that happen and WHY? Criminals will always get guns
and they don't need to steal them from legal gun owners. did you ever hear of the "black market"?
By the way if there had been an armed sane morally healthy teacher or security guard at the Sandy Hook school in Conneticut
all those children would have been saved from the lunatic who murdered them. Unfortunately, the moral fabric of society
has been unravelled thanks to the cultural Marxists who have done (and are doing) everything they can to tear it all down
which results in mentally and morally deranged people like that shooter to be inspired to commit such acts of evil.
Certainly it's good practice to keep the demented from having guns, but as recent history has shown, mass shooters often give little warning before they go on a rampage.
Then the right-wing just passes it off as collateral damage for living with the 2nd Amendment.
That is a typical right-wing statement without any facts.
I certainly do understand what a Marxist and Marxism is.
It is not a viable political system and their are very few on the left that believe its tenants.
The interesting thing about Leftists and especially Leftst intellectuals is that any idea which may have merit is immediately written
off, dismissed and thrown into the trash bin as a "right-wing statement" without consideration of its usefullness. This is mainly
because those "right-wing ideas or views" are a threat to the Leftist mindset and must be censored. That is the basis of what
is now considered "cancel culture" and "deplatforming" or Leftists activists violently protesting against any speaker they do not
agree with. You say you do understand what Marxism is. Do you know what Cultural Marxism and the Frankfort school is?
After realizing that pure Marxism wasn't very practical, the Marxist intellectuals decided to reformulate the principles and
camouflage the logical premise of Marxism with different terms and modes of delivery to make the Marxist principles more
palatable to the masses.
It's proponents came to Columbia university and began incubating its implementation into academia.
The word "Marxism" is always a red flag to deliberate Far-Left Marxists, so they avoid using it (except for a proud few.)
Instead the title and its constiuent elements are hidden within various "so called" modern social justice movements
and watered down on the surface with talk of "compassion for the downtrodden". There is nothing wrong with compassion
for the downtrodden, and any sincere and helpful measures should be used to help those in need, who are truly
disadvantaged as Mother Theresa has demonstrated in India.
Also providing governmental help to lift them up or get them any type of treatment they need. It's just that the
Cultural Marxists use those movements to undermine and destroy stability in society. The logic of Marxism remains
the same (including Revolution) but the text and descriptive phrases change.
One of the primary mottos of the Far-Left movements today is,
"by any means necessary" (i.e. "Revolution & change)
and that includes lying about or distorting the facts of a situation and social agitation. Needless to say, brainwashing,
especially in academia is a plus by altering the teaching materials. Howard Zinn a Communist intellectual somehow worked
into a high position which determined the content of texbooks in American schools. His most famous achievement was
the publication of the textbook, "A Peoples History of America" used ins chools across the country to brainwash youth
with its biased and inaccurate distortions of American history. That created generations of citizens with a jaundiced
view of their own country, the same country that refugees from Communist Cuba and Communist Vietnam cherish
and are grateful they made it here out of the social nightmare they escaped from.
I've known people who fled Castros Marxist paradise and worked with Vietnamese boat people who fled the Marxist terror in their
homeland, who are grateful they have come to this "irredemable racist country" (as Leftists call it) so don't give me the crap about
"right-wing" views. Some of my views may be perceived by those on the Far-Right as "left-wing" views.
But it would appear to be you who doesn't understand what Fascism means, since you are calling the left-wing Fascist, when Fascism is on the opposite side.
Fascism: A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
So what former recent leader of ours admires dictators, thinks that the President should be able to do whatever he wants, tries to subvert a valid election, claims the justice system is corrupt, wants to suppress the press (i.e. the "fake news"), and wants to control what a women can do with her own body?
One guess.
Sounds like the Biden admin to me.
As far as Trump being guilty of all those points you list, if he is guilty of those then he should face the consequences.
That being said, considering the current admin appoints a Trump hating partisan prosecutor to air his case before
a grand jury of partisan (95%) loyalists to the Dem party including the judge and that the other cases are all pretty
much the same constiuency hostile to Trump due to the hatred that has been ginned up against him in the Left biased
media (Left meaning "before" Trump even was president) he will not get fair trials.( Maybe the Floridal judge is exempt).
in summary the entire judicial power system and opposition party who hates Trump and sees him as a threat has been
moblized to destroy him at all costs, and even bend the laws and distort the facts to do it, he will not get a fair trial
and be railroaded into prison by the Fascist Left who is in power.
On the other hand, if he is guilty of the crimes you list, then he should be found guilty, but that would take impartial
neutral & fair judges and juries and prosecutors to come to that conclusion based on the accurate facts and applicable law.
But that is not the reality unfolding before us. It is all partisan based.
