    What you seem to be implying is that the Democrats should now adopt Trump's policies. The 80 million Democrat voters are not disaffected by mainstream policies. In other words your view of how to treat the cancer is not shared by the Democrat voters.

    In a democracy the losers should accept the result.

    And the far right's solution to avoid this ... is to allow Trump to get away with his actions? You see how this is so wrong? If we constantly allowed bad/dangerous behaviour to go unpunished then we'd all think "feck it, I'm having some of that" and society breaks down.

    I am ok with that...
    Unlike your driving which is not straight whenever there are walls nearby.

    I will give him his due. He got Brexit vote through.

    But a very dangerous guy. He reminds me of Hitler. He sounds great. But his thoughts are horrid.

    Nah, Trump is unique scumbag just like other well known political scumbags before him who caused a lot of damage - he should be taken out of equation (via jail route ideally).

    He argues that Trump should be left alone because of that



    If Hitler was put into jail for 20 years for his beer putch then a lot of bad things would not have happened, same thing here.
