Another Progressive jumps ship

Steve Bannon

I’m a Leninist,” Bannon proudly proclaimed.
Shocked, I asked him what he meant.
“Lenin,” he answered, “wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.” Bannon was employing Lenin’s strategy for Tea Party populist goals. He included in that group the Republican and Democratic Parties, as well as the traditional conservative press.

Trump’s decision to appoint billionaires, bankers, and oil tycoons to his cabinet signifies that his administration does not plan to even pay lip service to a democratic government. The fact that many of the new cabinet members lack relevant expertise doesn’t matter

sorry i dont see these things as making America great agin

Seeing you like polls here is one 51% of Trump supporters say he should be able to defy judicial rulings he disagrees with, according to poll reported by Maddow HUMM IF THEY SUPPORT THIS WHAT ELSE DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND

That is a non-sequitur. If more billionaires and tycoons are created in democracies than in dictatorships, how does appointing them to cabinet positions interfere with democratic government?

That's too vague to be meaningful.

Why not?

Again, too vague. And what is meant by "defy"? Other, mostly Democrat, Presidents have defied judicial rulings. And their supporters loved it. It is a little understood fact that judges are not the sole "interpreters" of the Constitution. In fact, a President, as well as any Congressman, or citizen for that matter, should be interpreting the Constitution every time he acts as an official of the government. And judges are not endowed with superior wisdom.

At any rate, most "supporters" of either party, if asked various vague questions are likely to come up with not well thought out answers.

If we have come down to this sort of discussion, we are lost.
