Speaking at Turning Points faith-themed event, Donald Trump urged Christians to get out and vote and then added: In four years, you dont have to vote again. Well have it fixed so good youre not going to have to vote.

Now spread this far and wide on social media and emails. I'd also ask is he planning on being a king
or a dictator like his Fascist buddy Putin. Not going to say goodbye to the America I know.

(29,317 posts)don't ask me why I still find this shocking. not necessarily surprising, but the amazing admission of his plans should he win is...i don't know. i find it shocking.
i'm so thankful Democrats are in such array. We need to hold up democracy itself.

The tweeter focused on him saying he wasn't Christian, but the fixing thing puts it in plain light that he's a real danger to the republic.

(93,384 posts)Trump is a dangerous, dangerous man to underestimate. His skillset lies in his ability to manipulate
to sell snakeoil, to sell an image of himself as a powerful genius who will give a certain segment of the people what they want. To a certain kind of person, he has always been utterly charming, especially when he was younger. His psychological profile has been known for at least a decade its called the Dark Triad, and is a poisonous combination of Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy. (below)
Hes given the MAGAs permission to hate and to be violent, and they love this about him. The Jan. 6 insurrection was his brainchild, and he was all in for the idea of having the Capitol awash in blood. His will to power and violence know no bounds. He draws people to him who share his traits not just the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, but the intellectual brain trust: Bannon, Gorka, Miller, and all the authors of Project 2025.
From Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad
All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callousmanipulative interpersonal style.
Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.
Machiavellianism is characterized by the manipulation and exploitation of others, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a calculated focus on self-interest.
Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits (CU), and remorselessness.
High scores in these traits have been found to statistically increase a person's likelihood to commit crimes, cause social distress, and create severe problems for organizations, especially if they are in leadership positions
I have called him and his ruling cohort cockroaches many times (by myself at home), but then I grew up in a subtropical area. Theyre disgusting and disease-bearing, but they are also adaptable and are survivors from eons ago, and will likely outlive our age as well. The only thing to do with them is take off your shoe and crush them when they show up and in the case of the human moral equivalent, figure out how to quash their toxic and dangerous ideas when they show up as well. They will never, never be fully eliminated.

TomSlick
(11,547 posts)If I understood his mumbling, Trump claimed to be a Christian. If Trump thinks himself a Christian then no, I'm not the kind of Christian he loves.
Before someone raises the "No Good Scotsman" fallacy, Jesus warned that many would claim his name that were not part of his flock.

(40,981 posts)We are witnessing something new in the Democratic Party, no more Mr. Nice guy-bashful-dont offend people-bullshit.
The Harris campaign, and I believe the msm, is going to make this a major story. Trump said out loud that he is going to end democracy.
He isnt going to get away with it.

(321 posts)"... If you want to save America, get your friends, get your family, get everyone, you know, and vote, vote early vote, absentee, vote on election day. I don't care how but you have to get out and vote. And again, Christians get out and vote just this time, you won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore. My beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. I'm not Christian. I love you. Get out. You've got to get out and vote in four years. You don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good. You're not going to have to vote. In conclusion, America has always been a nation one built and sustained by Americans of faith. ..."

(35,131 posts)Since 2004, the GOP has been using abortion and anti LGBTQIA measures to drive Infrequent evangelical voters to the polls, knowing that they could be counted on to vote GOP while they were there.
I guess Trump didn't get the memo that it was supposed to be a secret.

(47,065 posts)"Trump talks abortion, religious liberty in Florida speech.". It might as well be " Trump discusses foreign affairs and his favorite recipe for crumpets."
No, you aholes, the headline is "Trump says we won't have further elections if I win."

Does he include ALL elections in that stupid statement? Governors? Senators? House members? Dog catcher?
What a totally ridiculous thing to say. He is really counting on the stupidity of his cult.

(10,887 posts)Ever again. That's such a bother to have to vote so much.
And is Trump an Atheist? Since he clearly states he's not a Christian. Is he a Muslim, Hindu or atheist? There are other possible religion he could be but I suspect he's atheist.
