Apparently, you and the rest of the Trump brigade have no idea what the truth is.  So many lies that you have no idea what's the truth.

Yep, the sky is falling, Trump lies with every word, and he is going to take over the US government in a classical authoritarian style.  Here is a news story, politicians lie, and Washington politicians lie a lot, Trump is no different in that respect and just like are most recent occupants of the OO.

 

Btw, didn't Orwell also warn us about Socialism, and yet Democratic Socialism (repackaged Communism) is rife in the Democratic Mainstream now.

See this response.  Politicians lie.  Even the great Obama lied and lied a lot.   Not see a sky is falling issue here.

What they really mean that they are and support is Social Democracy.

it's been shown time and time again that trump has them all beat when it comes to lies. it should concern you that a leader is instructing his followers to only believe what he says as he says it, instead of what they see and hear, as they see and hear it. you should look into cult leaders, what they do and say, if the idea of authoritarianism strikes you as outlandish.

 

 

So it is a competition now?  Well in that case we do have to consider the inherent untrustworthiness of the judges (leftist media) and their political bias to judge anything. 

 

As to the authoritarian comment, please provide an example where Trump created law all by himself?  I can remember the last occupant doing that (DACA, DAPA, all the ACA modifications) and it was a little troubling what he was doing, but I knew the country could last through 8 years of it and the next person can simply reverse most of what was done (Thank God!).

We have already covered this. There is a really big difference between Democratic Socialism and the social democracy that many countries in Europe practice.

Yes, and what Bernie Sanders are describing himself as is Social Democrat even though he, for some stupid reason, keeps calling himself Democratic Socialist.

it's not a competition, i know that trump is a liar. i also know that trump supporters will excuse any and everything he lies about because it's all about undoing the last 8 years - at any cost. obama issued executive orders and he's creating laws all by himself. trump eo's are just eo's. right - sure. tell me more about "judges (leftist media)" and political bias. no one, myself included, has said that trump has created a law all by himself.

Don't question the Fuhrer.  Those who questions him will be banned. 

Not authoritarian at all.  Ha. Ha.

Now Trump is the budding authoritarian?  I guess no one, and I mean no one can question the media as they are always truthful, just ask Dan Rather and Brian Williams.

 

  Now? Wasn't this one of the concerns brought up during the campaign?

If Trump is not creating laws by himself than the Authoritarian argument falls apart.  Enough said.

Deplorable as well?

Yes.  Especially when they support separating children from their parents.  Yes.  When parents are deported without their children.

 

Now, you're getting it.  

So, how did you come to the conclusion that Orwell was against socialism?

Bwwaaaaaaa!!!!!!

 

You have zero idea what an authoritarian government looks like.  You still getting alternate facts from the same right-wing whackjobs that allowed you to get to the great conclusion that Orwell was against socialism?   Maybe, you should consider getting your information from places other than Infowars.

I believe this is brought up by all that disagree with the political position of another party's leading candidate.  We all know Obama acted in ways that were authoritarian and didn't hear a peep from the MDL except for complete defense and worship of the man.  Now because there is an OO occupant that instills abject hatred from a good bit of the population still living in 2016 we are to be all worried that he has lied in the job.  Whatever, Trump will be gone in either 2021 or 2025 and the world will move on and we will get this sort of opinion piece about the next person from a media source biased against them.

Like you, I don't waste my time on an opinion piece that is absolutely meaningless.  I am simply reacting to the biased headline and all the sky is falling mentality.
