I don't know anything about Ted Cruz but I'm kind of scared to hear people say that he's even more of a nut job than Trump. What kind of things has he been saying??

He has a policy of introducing a flat-rate 10% income tax for everyone.

Trump is still a wild card, from what he's said he can't be good. 

However, with Ted Cruz we know what we'd be getting, and it is definitely not good.

I'd agree with this. If Trump won there would be a real possibility of a revolution. Would be funny watching the rolling news and seeing Trump dragged from the Whitehouse and shot.

Heh! Mabe finally they will give use to the 2nd amendment.

Who exactly is going to do this?

A well armed militia? Isn't that the common argument from gun nuts about how they need guns to protect themselves from the government?

The "well armed militia" will support Trump. It's the liberals without guns that won't like him.

Nope, it's the racist, angry, bigots who will support Trump, and most of them happen to have guns(which is an entirely different problem). However, if Trump does become president, sooner or later a 'well armed militia' will wake up, or a smarter, bigger one will arise as a result of a Donald trump presidency. 

By the way, you are ignorant for supporting Trump. You might be a racist, you might be a bigot, but most of all alike other supporters you are simply and willfully ignorant.

I see you just resort to insults.

This is an unsupported assertion.

None of this is true. I am in fact, an educated businessman. You are a 16 year old child that can't even vote.

You really are displaying the naivety of a 16 year old. I suggest that you read The Anatomy of Fascism. Yes I know it's a book and worse than that it's erudite got long words but basically Trump is following text book methods for starting a fascist movement.

He's an outsider rather than part of the establishment. He's pandering to populist prejudices (In Trump's case demonising Mexicans and Muslims). He's a cult of personality (he refers to himself in the third person) and his followers are attracted to him rather than his policies (you said yourself that you want to vote for him because you like him as a person). He's capitalising on anger and resentment by stoking it. Fascist leaders also had their own militias to cause trouble to add pressure to the government of the day. An overwhelming theme of their movements was exceptionalism. They believed that their nation was the greatest on Earth and they advocated using force to steal from other countries (e.g. Trump stealing from Mexico to pay for his wall)

Here's the thing, the fascist movements that were successful abandoned all their promises to their initial followers when they had to make deals to get more power. Sometimes they made 180 degree U-turns. The movements that stuck to their ideological roots never became anything more than fringe movements. So if Trump did get into power, prepare to be disappointed.

If you had been born in Europe around 70 years Kusa you would have been a fascist on the wrong side of history.

There is one fundamental difference. Unlike Trump who has filed for bankruptcy multiple times, the fascist movements that made it into power in Europe were actually competent.
