Thanks! Will read.

Enthralled – my son who works for Young Americans for Liberty has been inundated at school (local junior college) with people approaching him saying they were scared to talk openly about it, but watching their parents struggle and “knew we needed something different” and just felt Hillary wasn’t trustworthy and Trump seemed like someone who wouldn’t cave to the typical lobbying. Most don’t like him but pointed to JFK and Bill Clinton whom they felt were terrible men personally but made great presidents, in their opinions. It’s interesting to hear now after the fact, the people that just were afraid to speak openly. THAT seems to be our biggest issue – inability to have open dialogue, therefore we end up with a president no one expected! This article was an interesting account I thought you’d probably like!

It’s interesting reading the accounts coming out now as to why people ultimately voted for him. Here’s one I found yesterday that was interesting to me (& seems to be a common refrain amongst much of what I’ve read and heard from people):

I felt bad “liking” that Ithilien, broke my heart. Thank goodness he found you and your family! I just can’t fathom. I know most CO$ families struggle with the detachment from their kids but it sounds like those people would have been poor parents regardless and Scientology just gave them the excuse. Does he still stay in contact with your son? I hope he gets out and thankfully finding a “real” family in yours gives him a basis for what it can look like so he hopefully doesn’t repeat what his parents did with “family!”

I pointed out to you that a claim of “fascism” is plainly and objectively wrong. If being told that is something you take personally, consider your claims more carefully. Nothing AH about it! I debunked a false “fact.” I didn’t call you any names.

You have not once posted anything to me without ad hominem. If you cannot stop insulting me please don’t engage me.

No, his policies mean no such thing as even a superficial student of history would know.

However, take a look at the brown-shirt brigades of “the real fascist” era. Then compare that to what is going on in our streets right now–involving folks who are decidedly NOT Trump supporters. Or revisit news reels of a certain candidate’s rallies being terrorized and shut down by violent thugs (Hint: Said candidate was NEVER Hillary). Notice any similarities? Frankly, I do!

Unbelievable. Makes me sick…and very angry. Now I’m all teary. Those poor kids.

Spurious ? Ill founded ? Justifications ?

Dude fascist means what Mussolini said and the policies Trump has called for fit that.

You pretend to be smart with fancy loaded language about a claimant but it is still ad hominem .

I have seen what I said. It’s not my fault of if you have not.
