This is an example of where "woke" jumped the shark from "respect and acceptance". I had a discussion recently with Raven Fan where I argued that thinking Claudine Gay was DEI does NOT mean you think that all minority hires are DEI. Above he quoted where I provided examples. But in the woke world, there can be no nuance. Slingblade here will brook no defiance to the orthodoxy -- I am now a MAGA racist. Wheeee!!!!! Anyway, I do appreciate your post in that other thread, and I'll get back over there for a longer response as time allows. I just wanted to point this out. Thanks. Please don't assume my opinion of you is affected by RF's attacks. I may agree with him politically, but hold him in great disdain for the way he assumes all conservatives should be thrown into the "deplorables" bucket. You are most definitely NOT a MAGAMOOK. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 4,230 Posted January 18, 2024 Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House Fear mongering aside, for the moment.....Democrats have well-trodden history now of projecting what they are already doing....or will do.... I am decidedly concerned about this maneuver on their part, as it would convey exactly what THEY are thinking.....and this is nasty stuff.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Democrats do this little game, invariably we learn they are the ones we should have been worried about. This is little more than them telling us what is in their head, what they are designing.... We should pay attention when they do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So Democrats are planning on using the military in dictatorial ways when Trump is president? Wouldn't Trump not allow this? Wouldn't this also imply that we shouldn't elect Trump?

The act of using the military.....as a political tool.....is in the heads of Democrats, we have already seen it in the past....and here they are....making it clear once more.....that THEY are the ones with this mentality and idea.....and projecting it on others....which is part and parcel of liberalism. All I am saying is that we should absolutely interpret this as an indication that this is where liberals are willing to go, given their propensity to make this baseless assertions....and then be discovered doing the things themselves.

LOL You will note I did not make the assertion your strawman is suggesting, but instead am pointing to the tendency of Democrats to decry and project on to others that which they themselves will do....and this one is a little more sinister than usual.

Do you have any links that would back up your assertions here? I have seen zero evidence that Democrats have contemplated using the military for purposes of implementing or enforcing political policy. We can find any number of instances of Trump threatening to do it. And he has doubled down on those threats while campaigning. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As stated.....I base my concern from past behaviors where they project on others....that which they are inclined to do themselves..... When these accusations arise, I am compelled to first consider this inclination......and extend from it that they are the ones with the thought, and the tilt toward actually doing the thing they accuse others.
