What if? Where would you stand?
MUST READ. Just heard Steve deliver this on HBO's Bill Mahr's show.
Excellent presentation of the current Trump craziness.
“What we are seeing is five things. We are seeing someone go to mass rallies, constantly lie to incite fervor in a cult of personality base. We seeing him make victimization honorable, they are all victims.
We are seeing the allegation of conspiracy, the deep state, hidden nefarious movements that only the leader can see.
We see the scapegoating of minority populations, vulnerable populations.
Lastly, the assertion that I need to exercise these powers that no president has ever claimed to have.
This is deliberate.
This is an assault on objective truth.
And once you get people to surrender their sovereignty then what is true is what the leader says is true, what is true is what the leader believes is true even though what is true is staring you in the face.
When that happens, you are no longer living in a democratic republic.
Thirty five percent of this country has checked out. They have joined a cult. They are obedient to the leader.”

Former GOP advisor to Bush, McCain and Schwarzenegger.
This old CW4 Apache pilot would be with the democratic republic and not with the cultists.
