The weirdo is being really explicit that the Republican party is going to convert the country into a Guided Democracy — a form of dictatorship where elections are held but how people vote doesn’t impact who holds power — much like Russia is today.

    Annoyingly that “we’ll have so much love” addition, combined with the weird claim that Christians don’t vote much, actually does make me more willing to think he means that he’ll have done such a good job and the GOP will be so beloved, that the “small” % of Christian voters won’t be necessary for wins anymore, so they won’t need to worry about voting, it will still be a shoe-in without them.

    Still ludicrous claims across the board of course, regardless.

      Why give the benifit of the doubt when this is a repeated pattern across his statement

      When asked to denounce claims of him being a dictator, he said he’s “only be a dictator on day one”

      He keeps making these statments. When someone shows you who they are, believe them

        This is exactly it. Trump is very good at saying just enough so that we know what he means and his followers know what he means while maintaining plausible deniability when confronted with his own statements.
