Did We Elect a Tyrant?

[JimR-OCDS]

I have always suspected that many Trump voters are primarily interested in "sticking it to the Libs" and that the interests of the country and the world are a secondary concern.

We are already seeing what has been obvious to the rest of us - Trump is indeed a tyrant. As others have pointed out, who else but a tyrant would seek to overturn a fair election with no justification whatever?

No, Trump currently isn't a tyrant. The American voters also voted for him because they were sick of seeing what
took place the past four years with WOKE ideology leading the way.

If they didn't want Trump they could've just wrote in a name, as I did for the past three election cycles.

Technically no you can't elect a tyrant. By definition at tyrant is one who seizes power by unconstitutional means. God Bless All

Not impossible if the Tyrant decides to ignore the Constitution and dissolve the US Congress and Supreme Court.

Would people fight against it? They might not, as the Germans didn't fight against the Nazis either.

They'll be happy to have a job and try to just support their families. In other words, they'll go along to get along.

Yes, Trump was elected by a majority of voters.

Currently, he is doing the right things that we elected him for.

However, I have to question, did we elect a tyrant in the making?

Only time will tell, but in two years or sooner, we could see a different man we elected and
we may not like it.

We can only watch and pray that God is going to guide our government according to His will

He did have a serious case of diarrhea of the mouth after the inaugural address. I mean I couldn't watch anymore, and I was rooting for him to win. It started to sound too much like na nana nanana. It's like how old are you? Isn't it enough that you won by a landslide? That speaks louder than words. Don't spoil it by acting foolish.

No one likes to have their loss rubbed in their faces. It's embarrassing enough. But God is going to carry out justice no matter what and He does not expect us to rub it in others faces, but intercede for them.

Mercy will be shown to those who show mercy, but this merciless approach has been going on in politics for some time so they are reaping what they sow.

Politics has turned into a cesspool, and it really stinks.

I love the book of Obadiah. So much wisdom in the shortest chapter in the old testament, but you never hear anyone speak of it.

But anyway, I myself had some doubts after watching his rant, but apart from the grace of God, I could see myself doing worse. They went after him and his family so hard and relentless, and one of my big love languages is loyalty. I probably would have given them the finger for extra measure, and mooned them.

Although, I know he took his shots at them too. No wonder Biden pardoned.

Cesspool, but instead of becoming bitter we need to pray, pray, pray, and also take action if we feel so led, just need to make sure we are operating in God's love rather than the fruits of the flesh.

The man who was elected by God refuses to put his hand on the Bible when sworn in.

TRUMP REFUSES TO PLACE HIS HAND ON THE BIBLE DURING SWEARING IN OATH OF OFFICE.

THIS CEREMONY WAS AN ELEVATION TO RANK OF GOD RITUAL. MIRRORED FROM THE HERDING HUMANITY CHANNEL. https://youtu.be/JvEglU78DoE?si=K3wphnqZ4zQn2EkN

As usual, a load of manure.

Trump didn't place hand on Bible during second oath of office

President Donald Trump did not place his hand on the two Bibles held by his wife, Melania Trump, when he took his second oath of office to become the 47th president of the United States on Monday. Some users on social media speculated that Trump did not see the Bibles next to him because Chief...

How do you know what Americans thought?

The nation went to war on that pretext. You think most Americans didn't agree?

Not impossible if the Tyrant decides to ignore the Constitution and dissolve the US Congress and Supreme Court.

At that point then I guess he would become a Tyrant.

Would people fight against it? They might not, as the Germans didn't fight against the Nazis either.

I'm not sure. I remember reading a Library Book years ago 'The German Resistance to Hitler', about the opposition and many assassination attempts happening from almost as soon as Hitler came to power.

They'll be happy to have a job and try to just support their families. In other words, they'll go along to get along.

Many perhaps would. I hope it doesn't reach that point.

God Bless You

Biden got what he deserved!

He's been reversing Trump's policies since he became president, and in the last few weeks of his presidency
Biden signed EO's in order to stop Trump from governing and he even gave out pardons like they were
candy.

The book I read, "Nazi terror : the Gestapo, Jews and ordinary Germans, by Eric Johnson, tells a different story.

Johnson, a professor at U Michigan, decided to study the issue of the ordinary Germans during the Nazi regime
and thought he'd spend two years in Germany on it. Instead, he spent 10 years and learned from the three cities
he studied, that the German people were very much involved in the Nazi policies and terror that they spread
throughout the world. In fact, he said in those cities, the Gestapo force was smaller than the population of civilians
which they had to manage. Instead, the German people helped by turning in people whom they had petty gripes
against. Those people were reported and were ordered to report to the police for questioning. Of course, those
who were Jewish had their names and addresses recorded, of which they were later arrested and sent to concentration
camps.

The Germans did not have the Constitution, you do.

The Constitution won't stop a tyrant from taking over if the people support him.

 

[RDKirk]

The Germans did not have the Constitution, you do.

The Constitution is only what the Supreme Court says it is.

 

[RamiC]

The Constitution won't stop a tyrant from taking over if the people support him.

My point was the German people did not have the fondness of The Constitution that the American people do. They were not used to being free.

Your post reads like a contradiction in terms. How is he a tyrant if the people like him?

 

[RamiC]

Would people fight against it? They might not, as the Germans didn't fight against the Nazis either.

The Nazi's hung, shot or imprisoned everyone who resisted them. People did do it, but it was a capital offense.

 

[Clare73]

It wasn't a two way race. As your post points out, Trump got less than half of the votes

As did both his opponents.

The one with the most votes wins.

The President cannot dissolve the Congress and Supreme Court.

Did you study civics?

Americans are much different than Germans. . .see the War for Independence from England.

Hopefully, President Trump will also be centered on Christ.

Yep

Yep. No one said anything different.

I don't know how your post ended up quoting me saying that, it was JimR-OCDS who said The Constitution won't stop a tyrant from taking over if the people support him. In #112 I called that a contradiction in terms.

I said for now he's doing well. But I question what's to come. I hope I'm wrong
and Trump turns out to be a great president. I feel he could be, but I've been
wrong before.
