Fidel Castro dead

[Full Circle]

You could have stated your case without the epithet. You are certainly as obnoxious on this forum as over on TTA. 

While I dislike and distrust Trump, to compare him to Castro is a flight of imagination. It is making Castro sound benign. Should the American public be vigilant? Absolutely. When he starts to jail dissidents and reporters and executes a few then your comparison will have merit. Until then Chicken Little try to remain grounded in reality.

I AM grounded in reality. Our own history is full of very horrible transgressions to certain groups of people and those transgressions WERE based on otherism and xenophobia and sold with political demagoguery. AGAIN it isn't that he can topple the government on day one, or in 2 years or even 8 years. HIS TONE is TOXIC and if more politicians adapt that tactic to win, it can and WILL lead to the same horrors of the past. 

We had slavery, we committed genocide against Native Americans, we had black lynchings and at one point a majority of congress being members of the KKK. And the internment camps of innocent Japanese. The amount of hate groups shot through the roof upon Obama's first election. Now we see Trump filling his staff with anti LGBT asshole pence and won with strategist and racist Breitbart asshole Bannon.

Vigilance ABSOLUTELY which is why everyone should remind everyone else of the past so we dont repeat it. But right now it seems we are regressing a bit.

While I think Trump is the most unqualified and unprepared person to be elected POTUS in the last 40 years he simply can’t be compared with a tyrant who ruled with an iron fist for half a century when Trump hasn’t spent a single day in the oval office. You’re being hyperbolic and jumping the gun in doing so.
