Who do you consider to be his base and what are those paranoid, hateful beliefs they have? If by "his base" you mean "Republicans" I'd consider that to be an example of paranoid, hateful belief.

It's not paranoid if they're really out to get you, and sometimes hate is justified. If Republicans want to know why they're hated they should start with a mirror.

All of them? Remember that Trump got ~75 million votes, are all of them "paranoid and hateful"?

What will happen when those Republicans - the same people who you are calling "hateful and paranoid" - win the next two election rounds which they seem to be poised to do? Do you expect them to take your opinions into consideration, knowing that you deem theirs to be "paranoid and hateful"? How do you expect to be able to run your country like that, other than by running it into the ground?

That's 75 million out of about 258 million Americans of voting age. Who are you trying to impress? That's not a majority, and if abstentions counted as votes for "none of the above" then Trump would be seen as the fucking loser he's been since around 1988, and Biden would be in a boomer gulag^W^Wnursing home where he belongs.

I expect them to become even more openly fascist than they've been thus far. It will happen here, and maybe we need to lose the republic before we can understand the value of keeping it.

The tree of liberty might be overdue for a good watering.

> Do you expect them to take your opinions into consideration

That would imply that they currently do so, or used to in the past. I won't say that Republicans want me dead because I'm a working-class, autistic, openly bisexual atheist and the child of an interracial marriage, but I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of them wouldn't so much as piss on me if I was on fire.

> How do you expect to be able to run your country like that, other than by running it into the ground?

Look here, brother. Who do you think you're jiving with that cosmic debris? I don't run shit; I just work here.

Good grief, you get hit by nearly all the Fucker Carlson hate spew.

Keep your head low... and stay safe.

I'm keeping my head low and my ammo dry.

Better keep out this litany of intersectional crossings if you really want to 'keep your head low', this looks more like waving a bunch of flags to me. Also, 'keep your ammo dry' sounds just like those Republicans with their Gadsden flags and as such is probably proof of the horseshoe theory [1] of political extremism.

Welcome to the Authoritarian States of America.

That's not hyperbole. It's coming. When SCOTUS rules on "independent legislature" the way everyone expects them to, it's all over.

Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted.
