(67,108 posts)I'm surprised about 1/2 of this country supports Trump. They must be woefully uneducated concerning history and past destructive world events. ... as US Idiocracy continues to move toward dominating the US. So pathetic and sad.

(798 posts)never really ended, IMHO. Unless something happens to pull us together as a nation or until a generation dies out, we will remain divided with gridlock and ineffective government. The objective of modern day Republicanism is to do whatever is necessary to keep the country from moving in a progressive - or GAWD forbid -liberal direction. It has gotten to the point that "whatever is necessary" now includes colluding with a foreign entity to take us down, politicizing key government agencies meant to protect us, and outright committing treason to achieve this goal.

(67,108 posts)from birth I think there will always be this element around, but hopefully it will eventually diminish.
Your last statement sums it up quite well, the threat from within the US is quite factual and is very chilling.

(1,493 posts)I'm trying to connect the dots as to why the FBI would want Trump to rule. I know they loathe Bill and Hillary Clinton, but it seems there must be much more to it than just hate.

(14,312 posts)and has Trump by the short hairs so they obviously prefer him. It's possible that they turned a faction within the FBI, or have some other influence with them, such as through propaganda.
There's no going back now. The integrity of the FBI is on the line. They have to clean house.

(3,635 posts)who hate Dems, liberals, women, PoC, Jews, gays, etc - i.e. anyone or anything that disturbs their retrograde 1950s fantasy view of the world.
The FBI supposedly hates Clintons due to their supposed "corruption" (that is never found, of course).
While Trump is the most corrupt and unethical person to ever gain the nomination of a major party, who represents and existential threat to democracy itself, who openly admires dictators and views the constitution/bill-of-rights as an impediment to his fascist goals.
