You Think Trump is Not that bad. You think the constitution will protect you. You think we have people in place to guard this. Is this not how Hitler started. One thing we have is modern times and world is watching, but not sure how trust worthy that is either.
One time they thought that was a beacon, now they say they can do it better. With Trump, sure. Does anyone want to see America fail, probably not because they would have to step up.
That being said, writing's on the wall, this fool cares about nothing and will do anything . He does not play by rules and he has one of the biggest villains to back him. Why is America playing with these corrupt people. This is going to turn so bad and not just for us, so much for that beacon. We became the Cartel and think Trump is telling them to build the fake wall now.
Exaggerated, yes, but this goes quick when you give away power to the corrupt.

First, no, this is NOT how Hitler started. Hitler was never elected, he was appointed chancellor of Germany. Prior to that he was a rabble rouser, having served time in prison for attempting to overthrow the government of Germany. Hitler also had one stated mission from day one: eradication of the Jewish people. In contrast, Trump's daughter is Jewish.
Having said that, Trump is a symptom. Trump is not the cause. The issue is that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," as you said. We have allowed our politicians to become this way. Consider Gary Johnson: did we allow him a place on the stage in 2016 as a "voice of reason" as opposed to a crook or a jerk? NO! Who's to blame for that? We are. We kowtowed to the people who said, "We don't want a third party to rain on our two-party parade," and said, "Oh, okay."
We also continually re-elect the worst of the worst. You need proof of that? You know who my senior senator is here? Mitch McConnell!! He was awful during the Obama administration, and he's awful now. He should have been voted out of office a good 15 years ago. Nancy Pelosi is another person who is nothing but trouble. And, if you've noticed, it's not "just" the Democrats or "just" the Republicans: while we have, in name, a "two-party system," they are opposite sides of the same bad coin.
We, the people -- the government is supposed to work for us, remember, not us working for the government -- need to take our government back from the power mongers. Our founding fathers were "regular people" who went to Washington, served for a period of time, then came back home and resumed normal life. Today we have "career politicians" (or, in the case of one local guy, a career candidate who keeps running unsuccessfully for office blasting the "career politicians") who get in and won't leave Washington until they're carted out in a hearse. Trump is just the latest example. Let's vote him out of office, but we'll still have the problem until we vote them all out of office and replace them with people who want to serve instead of rule.

You made me smile miss lady. Yes, that is what we need right there. One problem is we teach this, the problem will never be solved and as many people that hate me, Bernie Sanders is the only one different.
Elizabeth Warren is caught up, the dudes from Texas is caught up , Cory Booker is caught up. Bernie is the only one who did not care. Can't trust any who are caught up. As far as conservatives.
I liked the guy Bill Maher had last night, but he does not get it either the way Bernie gets it He is more about parenting and kids, Bernie is the only one who has a clue about what this government is as far as the top level.

This guy is nothing but corrupt. And he doesn't even try to hide it.

Indeed, and his advisors are right there with him ready to fall on their sword for a man who would throw them under a bus in a second if it benefits him. I cannot believe people are like that, even though we all know people like this.

It is off, not looking like a well oiled machine that we are used to.
