So, you believe D Trump is a fascist whom you fear so you will vote for a demented fascist you don't?

"We must here make a clear distinction between belief and faith, because, in general practice, belief has come to mean a state of mind which is almost the opposite of faith. Belief, as I use the word here, is the insistence that the truth is what one would “lief” or wish it to be. The believer will open his mind to the truth on the condition that it fits in with his preconceived ideas and wishes. Faith, on the other hand, is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go. In this sense of the word, faith is the essential virtue of science, and likewise of any religion that is not self-deception."

A Democrat fear-monger? Who supports censoring journalists? Especially those who expose the totalitarian mass formation? Let's quit electing establishment politicians who are all bought by the war-profit-mongering elites who enforce scarcity in this world.

If and when the Trumpenfuhrer gains power his corporate and "religious" supporters will most probably be given the green light to enforce the all-encompassing political and cultural agendas of this project http://www/project2025.org which is supported by at least 72 deep pockets right wing so called conservative think tanks etc. That being so you can kiss the possibility of a caring culture emerging good-bye for forever.

The Donald was (and still is) a life long grifter who essentially shafted everyone that he did business with. He is of course a pathological liar too. He also appeals to and awakens/empowers all of the darker "angels" of human nature. What the Sufis call the lower level Nafs.
