You know when your heart just stops... Former President Donald Trump made several dark and ominous statements during a Tuesday appearance on Sean Spicer's Newsmax show. Trump argued "our country has gone really downhill in the last eight months like nobody's ever seen before." He then predicted that America would end within the next three years. "And you go to these elections coming up in '22 and '24 — we're not going to have a country left. The election was rigged and we're not going to have a country left in three years, I'll tell you that," Trump falsely claimed, repeating his debunked "Big Lie" about election fraud. After Trump's prediction of the end of the country, Spicer — the former Trump press secretary who infamously lied about the turnout at Trump's inauguration — sought to bring the interview to an end. "You've been very generous with your time, thank you for that," Spicer said. www.rawstory.com/trump-america/ |

With the way people follow him, this can become very dangerous. What the heck.

I just saw a post from an extremist and it had the date 10/3/2021 on it. What are people saying happens then?

Why didn't someone tell me Obama was running the country now?! Yay, though I have to admit I never thought Michelle was interested in going back to the WH.  |

Honestly, I don’t think he’s wrong, though maybe not on the timeline. Empires rise and fall and so do powerful countries. I think he and his followers are doing more to hasten the demise of the US than Uncle Joe is, but I have no expectation that my kids and grandkids will grow up in a peaceful, prosperous USA.

Empires rise and fall and so do powerful countries. I have a minor in history, and I remember during a world history class I took what a "blip" in history empires were. An empire that may have lasted a few hundred years was less than a chapter in the textbook. It was very eye-opening. |

The man is a dangerous fool. Worse, he really wants to be President again.  |

The man is a dangerous fool. Worse, he really wants to be President again. And even worse is that there are a whole lot of people out there who don't just want a Republican to be president, they want HIM. I don't get it. I wish I knew what has drawn people to him they way they are. |

He talks their language. They think he really cares about them. They cannot see any of his flaws. They hate the libs and POC, any color at all...

I will say this: The America we immigrated to in the early 1980's and the America we experienced after 9/11 is not the America we are living in today.

I cannot handle the stress of another Trump presidential campaign. We know the monster he is, and how many citizen monsters we have.

We came back in 2019 and couldn’t get out fast enough. I never want to live there again. The country is beautiful but the current political and social climate is toxic. |

I do not think that this divide is going to end. I fear for my country. |

I wish I knew what has drawn people to him they way they are. I’m not sure he wants the actual job. He just wants everything that goes along with it - the attention and the power. I’m holding out hope that his health declines enough, enough people desert him or something else happens and he decides not to run again. I’m losing hope that he will land in jail, but that would be the best case scenario. After Jan 6, it’s incomprehensible to me why people continue to support him. Twitter banning him was one of the best things that happened. |

But his followers will buy into it, get riled up and he’ll goad them into anarchy ‘encouraging’ a fight against the so-called decline while claiming it’s nothing to do with him. |

Not to pick on you, but I think a lot of people of color would disagree. I had friends who were frightened last week during the memorials because they remember what happened to be people who “looked Muslim” after 9/11. And not that any decade has been great for my people, but the 80s under Reagan weren’t stellar. |

I agree and I’m sad, tired and scared. I hate that so many people learned a history that taught them America was exempt from from authoritarianism, turmoil, collapse, etc. because we’re so so special and “exceptional.” Our descent into civil war is so fucking textbook sometimes I am confused how so many people really believe we will always be on top. |

Tell the country that if they don't vote for him, our country will no longer exist. If he is elected again our country as we know it will be gone. They want an autocracy. If he gets in again they will make it happen. Our democracy is hanging by threads. |
