    Lol.  I’d expect nothing less from Berkeley.  Where ANY support for laws, discipline, and personal responsibility are seen as authoritarian.  Utterly ridiculous.  
     

     

    Traits.  Style.  What about actual policies?  
     

     

     


    Like typical MAGA you allergic to intelligence and any opposing viewpoints.

    Maga white trash. 


    it’s literally a party ruled by the emotion of fear.  And lack of education or empathy.  Oh yeah I know. Bathrooms. 

  2. “Now, Republicans are about to make a mistake on health care and betraying a promise,” Tillis said. “It is inescapable that this bill, in its current form, will betray the very promise that Donald J. Trump made in the Oval Office or in the Cabinet Room when I was there with [members of the Senate Finance Committee], where he said, we can go after waste, fraud and abuse on any programs.”

    Authoritarianism looks a lot more like that than trying to police your nation’s borders.   

     

    Covid clearly came from a lab.  Doesn't make the current administrations behavior any less autocratic.  You make such simple minded arguments. 

     

    There’s a term for Trump’s political style: authoritarian populism

    Researchers at UC Berkeley’s Othering & Belonging Institute identify defining traits of the type of politics leaders like Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni employ.

    If you’re unable to effectively communicate with an individual you disagree with, you likely need to improve your communication skills.  Part of your challenge in this case seems to be you’re starting with a rigid ideological position, you’re closed-minded, and unwilling to even consider the perspective of the other party.  You also seem to have a complete disregard for the other person’s occupation, which is unusual.  Do you have issues with all painters? 
     

    Try respect as a default.  Open your ears, close your mouth.  Ask probing questions. Be purposeful in seeking  out common ground.  Disagree agreeably.  This will get you started.


    You came to some absurd conclusions from my post cause you have the brain of a wooden post. Where did I say I look down on painters. Where did I say I don’t talk to this guy.  Get a grip and stop trying to create angles that have nothing to do with reality.  Maybe try to make a real argument and you can get started on your journey of talking to people you don’t agree with.  I read your garbage. You think you try to understand the other side?  

  6. How the White House works….  You don’t like the news?  You say a loser leaked it and it was fake news. Seems like how the most influential country in the world should communicate.  I’ve never seen a more brainwashed group eat up every absurd thing that comes out of this demented administration.   A country ran with no advisors and intelligence and a devoted base that thinks everyone intelligent is an arrogant crook thus some dumb ***** tweeting all day is the truth.
