Exactly. In fact, didn't Trump once say he loved the uneducated? An informed electorate, one that's capable of critical thinking, is the one thing every dictator would fear. Makes it harder for them to manipulate the masses. Which would explain why Trump wants to close down the Department of Education.

Yeah, I think a lot of MAGA, and other Republicans, don't realize that the 'radical left' democrats, would be seen as right-wing by many other western nations' standards. And the whole thing about them being the 'leader of the free world' is sickening and hilarious at the same time.

Canada is 11th in the Cato Human Freedom Index, while the US, the 'freest nation in the world is 17th'. They have no business talking to us, or ANYONE ahead of them in that index, about being free. And most of the nations ahead of them in that freedom index, are from Europe, the 'socialist nations' as MAGA and others like to call them.

I deleted all my amazon accounts a few weeks ago, and have no plans to go back. When I order things now, I'll just order through the vendor instead of Amazon, I can live with it taking longer or costing a bit more.

He has to be. I can't think of any other reason why he'd be trying to hard to antagonize and disrespect long-time allies, while praising Russia. He then made that ridiculous statement that Ukraine started the war, when Russia was the one who invaded them, and also said that Zelensky should be 'nicer' to Putin. But Putin, who ordered the attack that caused who knows how many deaths, shouldn't be 'nicer'?

There was also the first term, where Trump fired the FBI director over an investigation into Russia, and then told Russia that he fired 'that nut job'. What kind of message does that send to their own people? Not just that he fired the director, but that he bragged about it to the people he was investigating.

I honestly think most of the GOP knows, but they're too embarrassed to admit it. Or maybe it's just pride, they think it's beneath them to be held accountable to anyone.

Feel the same way. He basically has the US Treasury now, and can do whatever he wants with his DOGE, I doubt he cares about Tesla.
