MikeB4: The Brown Shirts, Sturmabteilung was an organised para military organisation of considerable size circa 400,000 which grew to approx 2,000,000 It was armed and structured talk of anything like that in the US and associated with the President and or Republican Party is an over reaction.
Watch the NRA CEO's speech at CPAC.
Not over reaction. Rather, early warning.
These things worry me ...
- Leader is egomaniac. Here today, gone in four years or less
- Strong focus on national pride. America first, make America great again. Americams are very patriotic, thats fine, no change
- Common enemy to focus anger. Immigrants and Muslims. Helps make the US look stupid by going against the global trend of multi cultural
- Facts replaced by slogans. Ego. Nothing to see here
- The free press is the enemy. Ego, nothing to see here, Narcissist.
- Liberals are the enemy. Thats politics in any country, side A vs side B
- Dismissing the law of the courts Bad, the courts rule, as has been seen
- Assertions that violent crime is on the rise and the rule of law must prevail Rule of law should prevail. Gun law is their issue
- Significant build up of the armed forces. Policy, right or wrong, its not to take over the country to make a fascist state
CPAC is a party. Whats important is the policies, what is being enacted, the direction he wishes to go to make America great again. Relations with other nations, conflict zones, trade. We have seen the ban, gone. Wall is currently on drawing board 2. Thats it. I'm quite happy he and his cronies rant away, and dong nothing. Better that than trade deals that hurt NZ, warships in South China Sea, and so on. Long may the ranting continue. And plus 1 for the Constitution and the courts. Soon, it will be back to normal, new leader, and him/her managing their country
