Trump said Americans want a dictator because they value safety over freedom

Trump is a piece of 💩 but on this one I agree. Maga is glad to murder immigrants for the appearance of safety even if it's built on a lie so he is right technically. That's why fear is a good motivator. What people don't seem to realize is that there's tradeoffs between more safety and more freedom. More safety means more authoritarianism as cameras, surveillance, profiling, using the army against civilians all come with the aspect of false sense of safety.

So in essence yes maga and fence sitters both want a dictatorship.

@KentuckyWildcats I've posted pro democrat things but the focus should be on authoritarianism because Trump is president.

Also not all leftists are Democrats. Leftists have varied views unlike conservatives

@KentuckyWildcats from the lads who brought us:

- But her emails!
- But Benghazi
- But Hunter's Laptop
- But Obama is black

@KentuckyWildcats Go to Democrat spaces and you'll find people who do that. But most people on SW are either Fascists or Leftists. Neither group likes the Democrats.

@BohoBabe true, also.

Impeach Hunter Biden's Laptop!
We can't have any more Bengay!

@basilfawlty89 That's another thing, this is just massive projection. Trump is so impossible to defend, that all the cult has is whataboutism. We'll point out that crime went up under Trump, and they'll be like, but you admit that Mamdani is a Muslim, right?

@BohoBabe And what about Hillary's emails?😷

@BohoBabe SportySpice earlier insisted he's an "Islamic Muslim Communist".

I dunno what's worse - the redundancy of the words Islamic Muslim, or the contradiction between that at Marxism, at least as practiced in the USSR.

@basilfawlty89 Technically someone could be a Muslim and a Communist, since not all Commies are Marxists. But I'm sure the Conservatards think he's going to establish both an Islamic Theocracy AND a Soviet Union of New York.

@BohoBabe oh I'm well aware
I have a friend who is Muslim and a communist of the Anarchp-Communist variety.

But Sundowner means like Stalinism and the ML...which has he heard of this little country called Afghanistan before?

@basilfawlty89 Which isn't surprising, the Right is very conspiracy-brained so they think everything they don't like is connected as part of a grand conspiracy. They can't just oppose Islamism and Stalinism, they have to think that they're both part of a conspiracy.

This is why people say Newt Gingrich was the original Trump.
