Clinton already saying the election will be stolen, will you be upset when she election denies?
Fascist? you have all the buzz words parroted by the media.
We need more free independent thinkers.
Get the economy in tract instead of focusing on enemies of the state.

Those actually aren't very reasonable points. They are ignorance of the facts and buying into the projectionist narrative that conservatives love to yammer on about, and they are projecting and trying to blame others for their own problems.
Who has built up a false enemy that is covered 24x7 in their media? Watch the right-wing media and you will be buried in fear mongering and hate, non-stop. They do not let up for a minute, because the second that cortisol drip they are feeding your brain ceases, the moment you start being that free thinker that Yoho supposedly wants people to be. This isn't some "narrative" about the practices of right-wing media, this has been studied and proven to have the very negative outcomes we are seeing in our society today. If Yoho were being honest they would throw some research behind their grandiose claims and try to understand what is the reality to these issues.
Increasing or out of control crime? This is a state's rights issue and red states lead the way in
out-of-control crime.
Inflation and skyrocketing cost of living? That's a
consequence of fiscal policy. Responses to fiscal policy take 18-24 months to manifest in the general economic system. A policy put in place today will not filter its way into meaningful change for an extended period of time because of the speed at which bureaucracy and adoption challenges. What we are feeling right now is the result of Trump fiscal policies of $2 trillion of tax breaks and then half a trillion in forgiven PPP loans. The influx of cash with unregulated markets has driven inflation into over-drive. The Fed is then forced to take action in response and increase interest rates in hopes of slowing down the runaway freight train. Coupled with global geopolitical uncertainty caused by Trump's isolationist tactics we have been thrust into a perfect storm of global inflation.
These are two very real issues, but the reality is they are created by the very people who are screaming from the roof tops about those problems. You just have to try and understand how them which the self-proclaimed "free thinkers" rarely do. Their world view is created, actually manufactured, in the bowels of think tanks who only thirst for power, then spread disinformation through the well-constructed right-wing noise machine of opinion-based "news", hate radio, the circular referencing blogosphere, and amplified by unfiltered or fact-checked social media.

Twelve of 19 GOP candidates for governor or the US Senate have refused to commit to accepting election results should they go against their party. Almost two-thirds of Republican candidates. Contrast that with all Democrats willing to accept the will of the people and you can see the warning signs.
"In a survey by The Washington Post of 19 of the most closely watched statewide races in the country, the contrast between Republican and Democratic candidates was stark. While seven GOP nominees committed to accepting the outcomes in their contests, 12 either refused to commit or declined to respond. On the Democratic side, all 19 nominees contacted by The Post said they would accept the outcome."
How can you say otherwise when the candidates are
saying the quiet parts out loud these days?
"Republicans will never lose another election in Wisconsin after I'm elected governor," Wisconsin GOP gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels said this week."
Right out of the horse's mouth, or maybe the other end? Fact is, they are now admitting to doing the unthinkable, so where is Clinton wrong in what she says?
One last point I want to make is the ridiculous narrative about Trump Derangement Syndrome, so proudly embraced and echoed at every opportunity by those "free thinkers" out there. Yes, Trump gets under the skin of people who are not cult members. He is a despicable human being who has cheated his way through life. People despised him before he ran for office, so this is nothing new. If you really want to see a group of people froth at the mouth and go apoplectic over just the mention of name, just mention the name Hilary Clinton around conservatives. Bring popcorn and watch the fireworks. They lose their ####. And it's been going on for two decades! What's even funnier, you can generate the same reaction by throwing out Nancy Pelosi. Or even just the initials AOC. The responses are unhinged. So when it comes to possible derangement syndromes, I think there is a lot of projectionism going on from our conservative friends they should try and explain away.
