Trump's unprecedented campaign pitch: Elect me to get revenge on the government

[ericc]

Donald Trump has told supporters not to just see him as a candidate but as "your retribution."

He swore in June to appoint a special prosecutor to "go after" the Bidens and that he would "totally obliterate the deep state," referring to a conspiratorial view of how the government operates.



"This is the final battle. ... Either they win or we win," he said in March.








Couple that with the fact that every time the DOJ attacks him, he goes up in the polls.

Trump says it's not a cult. So we know it is. This is how democracies die.

Clueless.

There is only one cult, and it is the one that you belong too that wants to destroy the human race.

Democracies die in darkness.

Only one cult? Religion might include a few more?
Dream on and pick up a book.

United States of America was founded as a constitutional republic not a democracy.

Those terms are not mutually exclusive.

The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications for minority rights. Both forms of government tend to use a representational system — i.e., citizens vote to elect politicians to represent their interests and form the government. In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a "pure democracy," the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority.
Most modern nations—including the United States—are democratic republics with a constitution, which can be amended by a popularly elected government. This comparison therefore contrasts the form of government in most countries today with a theoretical construct of a "pure democracy", mainly to highlight the features of a republic.

The Iowa caucuses are six months away. Some RINOs worry Trump may be unstoppable

Early leaders don't always go on to win their party's nomination, but a growing sense of Trump's inevitability is raising alarms among some Republicans desperate for the party to move on. Some described a sense of panic — or “DEFCON 1," as one put it — as they scramble to try to derail Trump and change the trajectory of the race. But there's no clear plan or strategy on how to do that and Trump's detractors aren't rallying around a single alternative candidate yet.
