The US needs to be a lesson for us to wake the #### up before our own democracy is dismantled from within by people who hate human values like empathy and cooperation and care only for the money that the deep-pocketed lobbyists give them.



If we don't rise up in passionate anti-fascism, we shall be subjugated by the IDU and its many global branches.
PP couldn't even keep his seat in that election and had to run away to a safe zone in Alberta so he could stay in parliament. He's an idiot and the Conservatives will continue to fail if they stick with him, imo.

Trump had to literally call an insurrection on January 6th 2020. And then four years later voter apathy, more loyalists in his corner, continued rhetoric, and countless other efforts and he was back with a vengeance.

Danielle Smith had to cross the floor and poison the conservatives from within after Alberta rejected her Wild Rose so hard they voted NDP in 2015

They're both idiots.

But this is what fascists ####ing do. Even Hitler had a similar bump in his road.

Pretty middle of the road politically but it's starting to get downright scary down there right now.. you have a sitting president openly saying he's thinking about taking networks off the air that don't support him now just for criticizing him? That's some banana republic level ####

Absolutely crazy, and it's completely unacceptable for people who are in his party not to call it out - or if they fail to do so, deny that this is anything other than a slide away from a free democratic society towards authoritarianism

15. Dismissing "that's fascist" as mean/name calling when it's pointing out the above trends in behavior.

the fact that he says "this will be bad for conservatives" tells you everything you need to know. Ultimately, that's all they care about.

Of course it was. Because its ridiculous. But Ol' Teflon Don wont give up that easily!

An Adult should have slapped him in the face for even thinking about doing it in the first place.

When was the last time a sitting President sued the Media?

Hah I was just going to post this exact same thing. Not because it's objectively bad or harmful, but because it's bad for themselves.

To be fair, he is speaking to a conversative audience.
Other than it may be backfiring on conservatives in the future, he does say it's government overreach which is the common conservative argument.

It sucks that a Republican showing the slightest bit of decency, regardless of intentions, is newsworthy.
