Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trump’s policies, arguing that “Trumpism does not believe in democracy.”

In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trump’s ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.

He cited Trump’s recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.

The White House dismissed Sanders’ concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.

    Who said anything about that? If that’s what you want to talk about, it should happen in a different instance.

    That said, in the abstract and speaking generally, a single instance of a particular tactic within a broad category of strategy failing does not disprove the efficacy of the entire broad category.

      I assumed you wanted to talk about solutions that these mods ban. Isn’t that political violence?

        No, I have no interest in being baited into getting banned.

        But never mind that; can I infer from your lack of rebuttal to my actual argument that you concede the point?

          Not trying to bait anyone. Honestly just confused about what you’re suggesting that we can’t talk about here.
