The Roman Historian Sallust once said “Few men desire liberty; most men wish only for a just master”
I remember posting that quote on Facebook once probably about 12 years ago. An older guy I worked with at the time chimed in that he was one of the few and how important liberty was to him.
Few years later he was spewing Trump bullshit.
It’s to be expected for Christians (et al); a vast majority have been taught at a young age that the perfect society is one where a benevolent god makes all the decisions and you just shut up and do as you’re told. It was never The People’s Republic of Heaven; it’s the Kingdom of Heaven.
That’s because they all think they are the special individual that will be given special treatment and that all the bad things will happen to groups they don’t like.
Because they are stupid.
That’s why we got the famous direct quote: “He’s not hurting the right ones”.
Rather than exist in a society where members of all ethnic groups have an opportunity for success, millions of American whites would approve of a dictatorship.
Ten million would restore Donald Trump to the presidency by force.
Recent polls show that Biden and Trump are tied in the presidential race even though Trump said he would suspend parts of the Constitution and construct an all-powerful executive branch with him as the head.
Ain’t it funny, those obsessed with freedom are willing to let someone control them if it means they “win”
Later, once the tyranny starts to affect them: “Why did the liberals do this to me?”
That’s not what polls are showing.

America was founded as a dictatorship of Whiteness, but when Obama got elected they realized their power was under threat and became fascists.
I grow strong with each triggered conservative that downvotes this comment. Also, dope username
I will add that I don’t think that was a conscious reaction. We’ve decades of data showing that “overt” racism has been consistently declining, while “covert” racism has taken its place. That’s why you don’t see people saying “Obama was a bad president because he was black,” but they’ll complain about a tan suit.
My grandpa used to warn me: most people just want to be told what to do, it’s easier for them.
It’s easy to vote for one person who says “I alone can fix this.” Comforting.
Stupid, but ignorance is bliss.
Trump used that exact phrase. The dude can’t fix a toilet, let alone the US economy.
I wasn’t paying close attention (because of utter revulsion), but I hear leftist podcasts talking about how the economy was in good shape pre-pan. For context, they talk about ways the orange asshole will leverage dem policies to smear Biden. I assume this is correct because I hear it as a talking point from multiple different podcasts. Please, someone correct me if I’m wrong on this.
