The Threat of Authoritarianism in the U.S. is Very Real, and Has Nothing To Do With Trump: This article is written by one of my favorite liberals, I actually have a few.... I wish that...

This article is written by one of my favorite liberals, I actually have a few.... I wish that our liberal friends would take the time to read it in its entirety, I doubt that many will, I would caution our friends that politics in this country seems to swing on a pendulum, what goes around sooner or later comes around.

A very good article making some very valid and worthwhile points.

It's too bad liberals will bash this.

Good article with some great points. I doubt any who’ve been harping about him being like Hitler will acknowledge any of them. Such is the power of propaganda.

Sad thing is that I am old enough to remember when liberals stood against everything they stand for today. Greenwald, Rubin and a few others I find to be more interesting than any of the conservative talking heads.

Outstanding article Blurry. It will be indeed unfortunate our lib participants will ignore it, because it doesn't fit their Trump hating narrative~

A good article that makes multiple important points. One of the most important is that Trump didn’t not wind up be an authoritarian. At the end of the day thats the fact. The other fact is that everything he did was legal and proper. You don’t have to like any of it - but he promulgated policies and got them enacted by proper means. All of that is fact and cannot be changed.

Both the impeachment and the election irregularities both foundered on lack of facts; particularly facts that could be proved beyond a reasonable doubt which is the standard for both the impeachment on the voter issues. One standard for all.

Same with all the voters - they voted for someone whose policies they agreed with. That’s their right, just as it is yours. It’s also their right to criticize the quality of the results the winning candidate gets.

I am old enough to remember that as well. There are still some good solid liberals out there though. They’re just not given as much of a voice.

A very good analysis. The Trump hating Lunatics are much to wrapped up in their bias to believe a single word. They just might see what authoritarianism really looks like if the Democrats take the senate

Greenwald used to be a liberal. He isn't really anymore as witnessed by this and other recent articles. He is starting to see the light.

Actually I think that Greenwald is still a liberal, if you were to sit down and have a long conversation with him on a myriad of issues I think that as a conservative you would find yourself in disagreement with many of his views, the thing about Greenwald is he is a liberal who maintains the liberal values of a decade or two ago, he is not a progressive so to speak, IMO he is a true liberal that possibly has libertarian leanings.
