Did you read the article there are no common traits between Hitler and Trump this was an opinion of a competitive real estate developer how unbias, LOL Now let's talk facts, what presidential policies have caused a negative impact on Woman? Gays? Blacks? Liberals? The Poor? Legal Immigrants?, or Muslims? If your rant is valid you should be able to provide many statutes or you could be lying and find none.

This is a lie as over half of gun deaths are suicide which is a personal choice which the government has no right to condemn. Police use guns every day to benefit society. The reported number is about 50,000 times each year a firearm is used to prevent criminal activity. This is substantial enough that it imposes on our right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

So you are going to make the claim that if you are a victim of a violent crime you will not call the police (a person with a gun) to come save you?

The funny part of your claim here is that you have no idea why those people are in jail. Most people in jail are there for drug offenses and other non violent crimes not gun crimes.

So if armed intruders come to take your wealth and cause harm to you what is your plan? I will confidently state that you will seek out a person you can trust who is armed with a gun to save you.

What the hell chance do the untrained farmers , bankers and labourers of the U S have against the might of the American military who we keep getting told have no equal?

The military is not committed to attacking the USA public in a conflict against the government. Historically speaking a portion of the military would be willing to kill it's own citizens in favor of politicians but most will not.Historically speaking every government has become corrupt and was taken down by the citizens or a foreign entity, What makes you think that the same will not happen here in time?

So you are claiming that politicians aren't getting rich off of they healthcare system? If that is what you think you are very naive. That is why they passed the "Affordable Healthcare Act" If they wanted to help the public in an affordable way they would just open the hundreds of federally owned hospitals to people without insurance. They would pass laws limiting health care prices for any organization which takes federal funds.

Why is it wrong to be innovative or very ambitious and make lots of money? If someone comes up with a great idea why is it wrong for them to profit from it. Why is it wrong for a person to be ambitious and make lots of money. The people who offer the least to society are government who just steal the wealth of the citizens and spend it like drunken sailors.

The part of socialism that is most disgusting is government corruption. Historically this is why socialism always fails. When you redistribute the wealth as the redistributors you chose who the money goes to. If you think that would change if we move deeper into socialism you are naive. Bankers are the people who tell the politicians what they are going to do. They would also be the people redistributing the wealth. They will take their cut first. The banking crisis was caused by too many people making a pact with the Devil(banks). When I purchased my home I had a set interest rate and payment for a set amount of time and I paid it no matter what so that I didn't lose my home. I sometimes had to work multiple jobs which was tough as a single parent but it's what I felt I had to do. I have little sympathy for lazy people.

Why would anyone compare Trump to Hitler? Trump loves the Jews.

Many wealthy people are accused of things by people trying to get rich by using deceit. What's important in these matters are the provable facts. So let's look at the facts Trump has never been convicted of rape. Trump is less popular due to the fact that he is brutally honest about many things. Here's a fact politicians have made their living by lying, judging Trump differently than any other politician is just foolish. The question you should be asking is what presidential policies are affecting my life and is it for better or worse. None of the things you mention change anything in your life.

What is good about that? If we use "Medicare" as the example, why should that be a socialist program? We pay into it as an insurance program why not just make it an insurance program? Eliminate the government from it entirely.

What makes you think that fewer people benefit. In socialism only Government officials and the unproductive benefit.

With capitalism the productive and government officials benefit I would argue that we would be better as a society if the people who benefit are at least productive

Trump may be offensive but he has increased the amount my money I get to keep with his tax cut. The racial tensions from the Obama era have subsided. The country is safe from foreign invaders. Life is good under Trump

Obama tripled my insurance premiums and raised my copays some 5 times what they were. One of my coworkers died due to the Obama care rate hikes. He was having chest pains and our Emergency copay was $50 prior to Obama Care then went to $250 after. He was going to just call his doctors office on Mon but he died Sun because he didn't want to pay the $250.

Trump has done nothing which affects school shootings. There have been no repeals of gun regulation under Trump. and he has actually imposed new regulation and restriction on guns. Making the legal age 21 to purchase from federally licensed dealers outlawing bump stocks are a couple of examples

There is only one reason for the government to have single payer health care, because they are bought and paid for by Bankers (insurance companies) and big Pharma. It has nothing to do with helping people. If the government wanted to help the people with healthcare they would open up the federal run hospitals to the uninsured public which would cost a tiny fraction of single payer health care.

This is a lie that is why you have no supporting data to substantiate your claim. If a person is the victim of a violent crime why do they call for a person with a gun to come save them? It's because that is what saves most people from violent crimes. It is sad if you have seconds to react to prevent being a victim and the police are minutes away. It is very possible that you could lose your life, the life of a loved one, your property, your dignity.

It is clear that you have no idea why Guns are important to the peaceful members of society who want them to remain legal and available.

The main reason for the 2nd Amendment is politicians are historically corrupt, our forefathers understood this. Millions of people with guns are the only thing that keeps a government from totally oppressing it's citizens.

Another reason for unrestricted gun ownership for peaceful people is to keep the crime rate low. Criminals will always choose a soft target over a hard target, give them less soft targets.

Last is the freedom as a peaceful citizen to own what you desire since you have not harmed anyone

So is democratic socialism what we in the USA have now? We do have a mix of socialism and capitalism.

Do you know what kinds of programs they have for getting the people on public assistance off of public assistance? Rhetorical, the government gives them the wealth which they steal from producers and call it good.

I have lived in a poor rural community in NY for most of my life. I work at a hospital another basically socialist entity. Here is a truth about the socialist portion of my world. In my youth there were a few "welfare families" in my area. We termed them that because they lived off of the system (socialism) It was not that theses people couldn't work like everyone else it was to make their lives easier. Most of them had troubles with the law and drug abuse stemmed much of that. Now in the same area there are a higher number of people than ever before living off of the system with the same drug abuse problems. GIVING PEOPLE AN EASY WAY OUT OF LIFE'S RESPONSIBILITIES IS NOT HELPING THEM

Exactly what is democratic socialism? Maybe I'm looking at it wrong.

Good = having far more beneficial aspects than detrimental aspects

I think that if the government wants to give everyone health care then it should be just like the veterans at government run hospitals where any citizen may use them for free. They should be protected against mal practice suits to keep the costs down. For all of the people who pay for insurance they can go to the regular hospitals.

Believe it or not volunteer community supported fire depts have been successfully defending communities for years before government intervention and support. When the alarms went off nobody looked to see if you were a supporter or not they just did the best they could with what they had. There is nothing bad or wrong in that.
