Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

[Mongoose]

“Obama was one of the worst, if not THE worst presidents in the history of the United States”. @PJF, you make things way too easy at times. Instead of your opinion, or mine, here’s a survey of American historians and academics taken at the end of Trump’s first term. Overall, he ranked 41st, Obama 10th. Check out the academics that replied, your opinion is an outlier, lol….And examine the survey methodology, and critique if you like.

“Since 2000, C-SPAN has conducted a survey of historians on presidential leadership each time there has been a change in administrations. For each survey, we bring in a cross-section of presidential historians and ask them to rank the country's former chief executives on the same 10 characteristics of leadership. The survey serves as an initial take on a president's term soon after they have left office and shows how the impact of a presidency has changed over time. A new survey, C-SPAN's fifth, will be released in 2025 and will include President Biden for the first time”.

This is following Trump’s first term. I can’t imagine him being rated any higher than 47th if the survey were taken this week.

lol - check out this old *** survey from this propaganda outlet!

Relax. Once Trump takes charge of C-Span and appoints one of his own, the 2025 report will rank Trump as the greatest. You know that’s coming. At that point, but not before, Boobala( don’t be upset, it’s a Yiddish term of endearment), C-Span will be an integral part of Trump’s Ministry of Truth, and a propaganda tool always at the ready in the fictional history and alternate reality being created by our Dear Leader.

Then why not talk about the conservative academics who ALWAYS take part in that survey? That’s precisely why I suggested you check out the survey participants, lol……Liberal and conservative presidential historians, and academics in History of differing persuasions always take part in the survey. Do your homework to see which ones. It’s a fair balance, and look how it turned out, even with conservative opinions of the presidents included.

Had a feeling you’d come back with that. Lazy…..

If Donald Trump can end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours, he should be able to end crime altogether, in American cities, in about 12 hours, on a bad day……But, please don’t hold your breath. This is just my best guess….

'Ride this rocket into the ground': Conservative admits why he 'didn't see Trump coming'​

In his latest column for The Bulwark — a conservative website opposed to President Donald Trump's administration — editor Jonathan V. Last acknowledged the conservative movement's role in making Trump's "authoritarian" second term possible, and admitted to his own bigge

Last opened his Thursday essay by sharing an email from a reader welcoming him to the anti-Trump effort, but reminding him that liberals, leftists and Democrats had been fighting the same fight longer than he had. The reader also posited that there was a "straight line" from former President Ronald Regan's brand of traditional conservatism to the far-right Trump administration.

He then shared a familiar argument from traditional conservatives, with one insisting that Democrats' intransigence on Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork (a failed Reagan appointee) paved the road to a more stridently conservative Republican Party, thus sowing the seeds for someone like Trump to rise to power. Last suggested that both arguments hold water, but then offered an observation of his own along with an ask of his fellow conservatives to consider an uncomfortable truth: The pervasiveness of racism in American society, and its influence on the conservative movement.


"I keep coming back to the African-American experience because it’s also central to understanding this moment," Last wrote. "African Americans have always understood America’s authoritarian shadow-self."

"Which is why I count my ignorance about the centrality of race in politics among my biggest analytical mistakes," he continued. "More than anything else, it’s why I didn’t see Trump coming."

However, Last didn't save all of his criticism for conservatives. He blamed "authoritarian-curious" voters on both sides of the political aisle for voting Trump into power the first time, noting that a significant portion of Americans on both the right and the left have long craved a strongman-type leader to bulldoze through institutions to accomplish their respective goals. He cited a recent piece from Nick Catoggio of The Dispatch (another conservative site founded by traditional Republicans opposed to the MAGA movement), who proposed that many Americans are well-aware of the country's descent into authoritarianism but won't do anything to stop it because they're, as commentator Andrew Sullivan said, "sick of this republic and no longer want to keep it if it means sharing power with those they despise."

"Americans will not be roused. All indications are that they’re going to ride this rocket into the ground," Catoggio wrote.
