I think the Trumpees actually want an arsehole dictator - at least those are the characteristics that they find appealing in him. They tend to like Putin, too, for the same reasons. And now that the Donald is praising the wacko Un (or is that Kim?), I suppose they will compare his lofty virtue to Obama's pathetic Socialist self, as well.

Yes a dictator is fine so long as he doesn't go after YOU.

The conservatives that you and I run in to like to be told what to do - as long as it's not by a black, Muslim, Kenyan doing so. These same conservatives also want to preserve a Northern European white heritage as well.

I guess that's what we have to look forward to: North Korean-style government in America. At least after President-for-life Donald dies we will have Ivanka as President. She's pretty cute.

It's not like it would be incest, or anything.

I have standards, and plenty of other conservatives I know also have standards. We see Trump as an opportunist and a demagogue. We are disappointed that so many of our brethren are abandoning their principles and supporting this clown.
These people have become cultists, and they have made favorable comparisons between Trump and other historical characters. They did the same thing with Palin.
I've made lists of those comparisons. They are embarrassing, but if you really want to see them, I'll show them to you.
I'm sure there are people on your side who embarrass you.

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
