Who is asking for Trump to be a dictator?

His supporters seem to want him to dictate to us--about our sex lives mostly for the time being-- but our economic lives as well. He promises to enforce the dictates of right-wing religious extremism. Why should I welcome that?

I just enjoy the ol republic... It's served the people, and the world well for quite some time.

I see no reason for that to end just because the Marxists desire it to.

No, for some reason you'd rather see Trump end it.

Who is asking for Trump to be a dictator?

Well, Trump for one.

He's the one going to the Supreme Court arguing that the President needs absolute immunity from prosecution for any and all crimes committed while in office. The only limitation would be impeachment in the House and removal by the Senate, both of which he has survived twice due entirely to party loyalty.

-- A2SG, why argue for that if you aren't at least considering using it...

Many Republicans and conservatives disagree with Trump on immunity, including myself (although I consider myself an independent)

I am against the "Imperial Presidency", which I think is one of our biggest problems.

Presidents getting us involved in military conflicts without congressional approval, issuing edicts and "signing statements", trying to use legislation in a novel way to cancel student loans, or issuing mandates.

 

[BCP1928]

I don't know how that changes anything, or justifies the use of a cultish term with bad etymology

doctors don't simply look at a newborn and say "well, I am going to assign this child male"! In the very rare instances where deformities are present, a child's sex can be determined through anatomical or genetic testing. This is science.

The Neo-Marxists want to hijack language in order to introduce confusion and ideology into our discourse.

The "Neo-Marxists" recognize that human sexuality is a bundle of traits--genetic, biological, psychological--that can combine in various ways. Those that are culturally determined will not be observable until the individual has had some exposure to culture. I should think that would be obvious. Ordinarily, it would not be a problem, there is room for all sorts of people in this world.

The trouble is, conservatives have convinced themselves that only one possible combination of these traits is acceptable. All others are evil and must be suppressed. There is no room in their world, for example, for a person with most of the traits conservatives insist are uniquely female but with male genitalia.

 

[DaisyDay]

there is no such thing as "cis-gendered"

it is a neologism, or cultish term, created by far-left activists that suggests a person's biological sex / gender is arbitrarily "assigned" at birth by a medical profession. No one simply "assigns" your sex: they confirm your sex through observations and tests.

What is a "neologism"? Literally it means "new word". It is a term with a specific use, whether you approve of it or not. It is not a slur.

A person, last I checked, can argue anything at all in court...

Perhaps there was something in the argument itself that the Trump team wanted to bring to the fore.

A argument on an existing case says nothing about what he plans in the future.

For future plans it's good to listen to words in context.

I'm more worried about the guy in charge of the presidency right now than a perfectly competent former president.

The Neo-Marxists seek to undermine western culture, science, and "capitalism" by introducing irrationalism and ideology into the sciences and language.

Biological sex is binary, and there is no "combination of traits" that would introduce a new, third biological sex, into the human species. There is no XYZ, men cannot have babies, men don't produce eggs, and a woman is much more than a "menstruating person". All of that is complete nonsense, and it has nothing to do with conservative vs. liberal politics. Even old-school liberals know it is total nonsense, and some are more vocal about it than conservatives (see Bill Maher for example).

Biological sex is a not "culturally determined". Gender roles are, yes. That is a different matter

Conservatives had zero issues with people born with anatomical abnormalities. They do have an issue with transgenderism as an ideology, and pseudo-science. They also have an issue with sneaking in neologism like "cisgendered" into the language

Good for you--you have decisively defeated the awesome strawman you created.

Biological sex is a not "culturally determined". Gender roles are, yes. That is a different matter

Another win--you have relegated all the traits of human sexuality other than genitalia to "culturally determined," an area over which you desire absolute control.

Conservatives had zero issues with people born with anatomical abnormalities. They do have an issue with transgenderism as an ideology, and pseudo-science. They also have an issue with sneaking in neologism like "cisgendered" into the language

Oh dear, you were doing so well. There was no need for that last snark.

 

[Hazelelponi]

I'm pretty sure everyone disagrees... Lol. Not just many. But you can bring any argument you want to do .. it's his right.

At least Trump will be legally informed by a court so there's no later confusions.

Something perhaps Biden should have done more of.. just ask a court before doing stuff.

This is why nobody has coined the term cis-sexual, but rather cis-gender.

 

[DaisyDay]

It gets confusing because the "we're so altruistic" bunch simultaneously paints a stereotype of conservatives being uneducated trailer trash ie they're poor so they're scum. I guess loving the poor so much doesn't include "poor white trash".

Those aren't terms I would think or use on anyone. You seem to have internalized some hatred and blame towards the poor. That's sad.

I think the left only pretends to care to get votes

I think you think that to feel better about yourself and to be included in your tribe.

..and they probably come up with poorly crafted bills "to help the poor" knowing they'll be rejected,

That is a weird assumption. No matter how well a bill might be crafted, it is subject to revisions and amendments even by people who propose these to deliberately worsen the bill all the while planning on voting it down anyway. See the Affordable Care Act.

so that they can whine and cry about how evil the right is to get more votes.

It isn't the left calling the right "evil" or thinking that way; that is you projecting. There is more to life, far more, than votes.

Why is it that I see less Christian compassion and generosity of the soul in a Christian forum than I do almost everywhere else?

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

 

[Hazelelponi]

I'm a Trump supporter and I don't care about what someone wants to do in the bedroom.

I mean, gays have legal marriage and such .. what more do people want?

To have sex with children? Puppies?

Is there some burning need the law stops that's even sane?

No, for some reason you'd rather see Trump end it.

We had Trump for 4 years already. Nothing bad happened. The sky didn't fall ..

Marxists recognoize children are easily manipulated

Those that are culturally determined will not be observable until the individual has had some exposure to culture.

Exactly, that is why there is a fight over Children in schools. Children are easily manipulated.

I should think that would be obvious. Ordinarily, it would not be a problem, there is room for all sorts of people in this world.

The trouble is, conservatives have convinced themselves that only one possible combination of these traits is acceptable.

Conservatives recognize Children are easily manipulated and so do Marxists.

All others are evil and must be suppressed. There is no room in their world, for example, for a person with most of the traits conservatives insist are uniquely female but with male genitalia.

Christians recognize there are people that have confusion and mental illnesses. As well as there is is difference between evil and sin.

I don't know about that myself. The problem is liberals take every advantage they can to extremes.
Should biden be held responsible legally for the death of troops in the bungled way he pulled out of Afghanistan? Just look at all the lawsuits that will happen without it. Every bad outcome from a Presidents actions is going to end up in lawsuits. Marxists don't care about anything but causing instability and division.

I am against the "Imperial Presidency", which I think is one of our biggest problems. Presidents getting us involved in military conflicts without congressional approval, issuing edicts and "signing statements", trying to use legislation in a novel way to cancel student loans, or issuing mandates.

The Supreme court decided that (loan forgiveness) unconstitutional, but the Biden administration is getting around it anyway. It is getting to the point that Marxists are just ignoring law. As though they have immunity anyway. So, imperial presidency? Marxists act that wat as well. They will abuse whatever system is set up.

 

[essentialsaltes]

but "cis-gendered" is almost always used to suggest someone's biological sex, not their socially-defined gender role

I really don't think so.

Obviously, cis-gendered on its own doesn't suggest someone's biological sex.

The terms are used to specify whether someone's gender identity (not 'sex identity', which is not a thing) is 'on the same side' [cis] or 'on the opposite side' [trans] from their sex.

That certainly allows you to deduce someone's sex from their gender (if known), but the word itself is about the gender identity.

Yes, it is about gender vs sexuality. Which is not a thing either.

And the solution is, of course, to put a different Imperial President in power, one who will rule the way you want.

Oh my goodness. Next you will be telling us that drag queens can turn kids gay by reading to them.

Conservatives recognize Children are easily manipulated and so do Marxists.

And conservatives want to be the ones doing the manipulating.

Christians recognize there are people that have confusion and mental illnesses. As well as there is is difference between evil and sin.

Ah, yes. Define any departure from strict gender conformity as "mental illness." That's a clever strategy, I wonder who else has taken advantage of it to advance an agenda?
