That's a dozen plus how many others? Probably in the 20's or 30's. That might seem like a small number but how does it compare to previous administrations? I'd guess that the number of trump officials that oppose his reelection dwarfs that of any administration since Nixon.

Why do so many former staffers think he's unfit for office?
Lot of holdovers, status quo types, bureaucrats and deep staters..
Maybe but that's a lot of former staffers. Enough were a rational person would question whether he's really unfit for office.

Wrong again. At least StOnge had logic, you have none.

I don't give a shit about how many time Trump golfed, as your stat cannot be fully corroborated and also does not break it down on how many of those hours were spent as working meetings vs Trump golfing solo. I didn't give a shit when Obama golfed. Hell, I'm happy to see our Presidents out getting exercise.

You must be a government worker. Seemed to have touched a lazy ass nerve.

Worth reading the entire piece.
Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S. Army personnel in the European theater of World War II. Titled Army Talks, the series was designed “to help [the personnel] become better-informed men and women and therefore better soldiers.”

On March 24, 1945, the topic for the week was “FASCISM!”

“You are away from home, separated from your families, no longer at a civilian job or at school and many of you are risking your very lives,” the pamphlet explained, “because of a thing called fascism.” But, the publication asked, what is fascism? “Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze,” it said, “nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it.”

Fascism, the U.S. government document explained, “is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state.” “The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people.”

“The basic principles of democracy stand in the way of their desires; hence—democracy must go! Anyone who is not a member of their inner gang has to do what he’s told. They permit no civil liberties, no equality before the law.” “Fascism treats women as mere breeders. ‘Children, kitchen, and the church,’ was the Nazi slogan for women,” the pamphlet said.

Fascists “make their own rules and change them when they choose…. They maintain themselves in power by use of force combined with propaganda based on primitive ideas of ‘blood’ and ‘race,’ by skillful manipulation of fear and hate, and by false promise of security. The propaganda glorifies war and insists it is smart and ‘realistic’ to be pitiless and violent.”

Fascists understood that “the fundamental principle of democracy—faith in the common sense of the common people—was the direct opposite of the fascist principle of rule by the elite few,” it explained, “[s]o they fought democracy…. They played political, religious, social, and economic groups against each other and seized power while these groups struggled.”

Americans should not be fooled into thinking that fascism could not come to America, the pamphlet warned; after all, “[w]e once laughed Hitler off as a harmless little clown with a funny mustache.” And indeed, the U.S. had experienced “sorry instances of mob sadism, lynchings, vigilantism, terror, and suppression of civil liberties. We have had our hooded gangs, Black Legions, Silver Shirts, and racial and religious bigots. All of them, in the name of Americanism, have used undemocratic methods and doctrines which…can be properly identified as ‘fascist.’”

The War Department thought it was important for Americans to understand the tactics fascists would use to take power in the United States. They would try to gain power “under the guise of ‘super-patriotism’ and ‘super-Americanism.’” And they would use three techniques:

First, they would pit religious, racial, and economic groups against one another to break down national unity. Part of that effort to divide and conquer would be a “well-planned ‘hate campaign’ against minority races, religions, and other groups.”

Just substitute facist with communist and you would have a more accurate description.

Facism is a collectivist ideology. It’s about the collective over the individual. If you believe in individual rights, freedoms and Constitutional protections for the individual (as Trump does) you aren’t a facist.

Nope.

Wrong.
Many experts agree that fascism is a mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of the nation over the individual.
https://education.cfr.org/learn/reading ... 5zEALw_wcB
That IS Collectivism.

Mussolini, who was the OG facist, called it collectivist.
Fascism is the name Benito Mussolini chose for his movement and later it was applied to similar movements elsewhere. Mussolini came from a socialist revolutionary family that named him after Benito Jaurez, the Mexican revolutionary. He grew up as a socialist and maintained his belief in the efficacy of socialism until the end of his life. He undoubtedly considered Fascism as just a variant, if not of socialism at least of collectivism, that was nationalistic. The internationalist socialists expelled him when he advocated for nationalistic reasons the entry of Italy into World War I.

Yeah, when the donks held their conventions there in 1976, 1980, 1992…

This wasn’t a convention and I’d like to think you know what the pic I posted was from.

There was zero attempt to court undecided voters here. Just a dog whistle for MAGA. Weird.
Yes I know what the pic you posted was from.

It was no different than other rallies: meant to drive turnout. This one was just on a grander stage. And no Trump isn’t going to be even close in NY. But this was about driving turnout going for the popular vote. And to troll the left, which is clearly working. The left is becoming more and more unhinged with their ‘Trump is Hitler’ lol.
