When do the Lenin-esque statues of Trump's head start appearing in all town squares across America? Do you have an ETA?

So, I guess you subscribe to the sentiment expressed by the title of the novel?
After all, your mantra of "she wasn't supposed to lose" fits right in.
You have to admit, the description of Windrip (love that name) rings a bell.

I'm just wondering where this massive evidence of authoritarianism is hiding?
I mean, you're drawing a parallel between Trump and the character in the novel, correct?
Authoritarian how? Patriot-Act kind of authoritarian?

Don't worry, it can't happen here (even though the Donald wants to call off the 2020 election and be ruler for life). Focus more on Windrip's character, but then, why would you?

Wait...really? Trump is going to cancel the 2020 elections?
I heard the same about GWB and Obama, and probably every other president when the opposition party talked about them. (And with GWB, there were posts here on off-topic that he was going to turn the USA into a theocracy because, you know, he believed in God). Anyhoo....
But just for shits and giggles, can you point me to where Trump has put this out as an official White House position?

One person on here said that "fundamentalists" would feel emboldened with Bush as Prez to try and turn the country into a theocracy, not Bush himself.
Details.

Why would I be crazy enough to think Bush himself said something so stupid? Equally, why would I think Trump himself would say something so stupid - that he (Trump) was, as Ely put it, "King of Hebrews?"
Neither of them actually stated such nonsense.
But people on here did.

Trump's re-tweet today is pretty over the top (posted 6 hours ago).

He's the best internet Troll ever created...I'd vote for him again based on that alone.
I know all about the tweet. It was Ely's sole motivation to come back and post here today, so how could I have missed it?
Doesn't change my mind one bit on what I've written.
I deal strictly in facts from now on...lulz

Then you'll like this....
"Yes, President Trump, when asked about his ongoing trade war with China, deemed himself "the chosen one" when talking with reporters outside the White House on Wednesday. As Trump put it, when it comes to dealing with China's trade practices, "somebody had to do it." He then added "I am the chosen one" as he looked up to the sky."

Nobody said that Bush said it. You said there were "posts" that said that "Bush" was going to turn the US into a theocracy, when in fact it was one post that said fundamentalists were going to do it.
Again, details.
