March 1, 201610 yr What comparison did they make? The whole thing started because a guy said that he was half tempted to vote for Trump just to see all these celebrities leave for Canada as they claim they would. That goes on for a while and eventually the same guy said that he wasn't really a fan of Bernie Sanders and she responds with, "You'd rather have a modern day Hitler?" A little more dialogue and she follows it up with:
March 3, 201610 yr I get what he's saying, and frankly, the fear I feel about Trump getting elected has little to do with the man and more to do with the mindset of those who support him. In the event he is actually elected, people will be crushed that he can't flip a switch and make what he's promised happen overnight. And my fellow Americans will be even more angry, more afraid, and that is scarier than a President Trump. I am shocked at the level of vitriol with which the conversations here on BGP are delivered. I am wary now of people I once considered friends. I am avoiding voicing my opinion and I'm only a short step away from leaving BGP because of what I see now, and what it will inevitably be if Trump wins. When President Obama leaves, if Trump is is successor, I predict even a modest level of civility will not exist. I can't live like that.
March 3, 201610 yr I have a question. Why should I even care what Chomsky thinks? Why would I even waste my time reading this? Have you read where this guy stands on the issues? Another whack job. Just because this guy has been published, a MIT guy does not make his ideas good. From what I have read he is another fringe thinker. From his own website: Noam Chomsky Quit wasting our time with this crap. Cant believe I read all this thread.

March 3, 201610 yr Exhibit A. ^ Im gladly Exhibit A B and C. I stand 100% with what I said. Our country is headed down the drain and if everyone cant see that then you need your head checked.

March 3, 201610 yr Every one is entitled to their point of view, thats freedom. But think about this, Donald Freaking Trump is leading across America. That alone should ring your bell. I am no Trump supporter but think about what the state of the poor average American is to support him. Just let that sink in. The Republican party whined and whined till he signed the agreement to support the nominee and not run as a third party and now they are double crossing him in public. This is going to enrage his supporters and turn alot of people to him. Think about where we are as a country to even have him in the equation? Something serious is wrong. And thats just the Republicans. Just because someone, including myself, has a differing opinion does not make them right. But these opinions of the last several years have gotten us in deep crap. Quit if you want and take shots at me if that makes you feel good rockmom, but my skin is thick and I wont change.
March 3, 201610 yr While I think a Trump presidency would be difficult for the country, I find it interesting that those people fearing a Trump presidency sound eerily similar to those saying the same thing about an Obama presidency 8 years ago. This country can and will survive any administration. Well, except for Jimmy Carter.

When President Obama leaves, if Trump is is successor, I predict even a modest level of civility will not exist. I can't live like that. Personally, I think you should voice your opinion more. I really believe that what we are seeing now is a distillation of years and years of feeding the base of the GOP fear, bigotry, and a celebration of ignorance. Now, more than ever, reasonable people need to speak up and out. This election will mark a turning point, one way or the other. I feel confident that we will reject this hatred, and fear, and appeals to bigotry. This conflict has been brewing for a long time, and I am glad to see it coming with the lines drawn so clearly. I enjoy your posts and would not want to see them go just because other people are wrong, and scared.

I understand your feelings for wanting to leave but you provide a much needed viewpoint here!
