Dick Van Dyke said of Donald Trump, "There are millions of people who share his anger, paranoia, and his hatred ... I think we have to stop a man who wants to be the dictator."

1. Dick Van Dyke is a wise man.

So many of our senior citizens seem to have forgotten the lessons of World War 2, of fascism, of petty, power-hungry dictators, of horrendous needless wars fueled by nationalism, of concentration camps, of populations taken over by "anger, paranoia, and hatred".

2. Yep

The republicans for some reason can’t or won’t see the asshole that is bound and determined to be a modern day Hitler. Course we all know who that is and the other asshole from Florida is doing his best to be the modern day Hitler. Never a shortage of would be evil megalomaniacs.
