The two administrations his most resembles are Woodrow Wilson's and 1930s Germany.... Ponder that last one for a minute.
I am amazed at how many very intelligent, well read, educated people, many who I consider friends, can follow and support this man with such fervor..... His shortcomings and failures are to the detriment of the people of these United States. I would willingly follow a leader. But he clearly is not one.

All politics aside I’m baffled by his support. It’s frightening.

Jeff, we agree on some common ground here.... My above stated opinions really have nothing to do with politics...

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.

There’s a reason so many lifelong republicans are getting behind Biden. It is because Trump and Trumpism is an existential threat to the Republic. I knew Trump would be bad but I didn’t think it would be this bad.

I am not sure you could count me in the group "getting behind Biden." I think a better analogy is rooting for whoever the Yankees are playing.... I still cringe every time I see Joe speak, waiting for some health issue to appear live on camera. |

But so many lifelong republicans are because they know just sitting this one out isn’t enough. The risks are too high.
Biden is a moderate and it’s increasingly looking like he’ll pick a moderate running mate. Sure the Dems are probably going to take the Senate also but hopefully the GOP can regroup and find some some rational footing.

Look no further than the decisive tactics used by the nazi party to divide the Germans, frighten them into submission and then get behind their agenda of European domination. Had the Germans really known what was really going on, I think it’s plainly obvious that they would have pulled the rug out from underneath hitler.
Critical thinking is dead in this country. Everyone worships their favorite pundit on cable news that spouts the diarrhea that they want to hear and this just validates their beliefs.
