    In the twentieth century, several terrible dictators rose to power. In China we had Mao, who caused the death of millions. In Germany, we had Hitler, who caused the death of millions. And in Russia, we had the former seminary student, the "Man of Steel."

    Historians asked the important question, just how did such an evil person rise to power? And at least part of the answer was to avoid taking positions. People would say, "Not this guy," he is for open borders, and "Not that guy" he is for closed borders. Lets go with this other guy because he seems to be a moderate, more like me.
    The key is Mr. Stalin avoided taking positions, so his negatives were low, whereas those who actually took positions were not acceptable to this group or that group.

    Today, we have another person on the far left, running while avoiding taking positions, so as to get the vote as the person with the least negatives. On the other side is Mr. Trump who tells everyone exactly where he stands.

    Will the voters be fooled yet again by this leftist ploy?

    Have you not been watching Donald Trump twisting himself into knots, like he is playing a game of Twister, over the issue of abortion, and especially the upcoming ballot issue in Florida?

    The only dictator-wanna-be between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is Donald Trump and his National Conservative cohorts.

    Folks, the last three posts did not address the fact DJT tells you where he stands, and KH does not. One, KH is using the same tactic as Mr. Stalin.

    Will the voters be fooled yet again by this leftist ploy?

    Here ya go. Here is where I stand.

    1) Balance the federal budget and stop adding to the national debt.
    2) Ditch the current fiat monetary system and replace it with a gold-standard monetary system.
    3) Return the United States to its first constitution - the Articles of Confederation of 1781.

    This takes the cake, KenH seems to think "KH" in post 5 is referring to him, rather than obviously Kamala Harris.

    Or is he simply stirring up confusion to hide truth?

    1) The Biden/Harris administration did not balance the budget, but wasted expenditure to contribute to inflation.

    2) The gold standard will not constrain the tax and deficit spend Democrats.

    3) Our current Constitution is a vast improvement over the Articles of Confederation. Recall Bill of Rights, End of Slavery, Presidential term limits, to name just a few. When my mother was born, in 1917, women did not have the right to vote.

    Christianity was marching in America for a time. Now the Atheist Party of the Godless Left has taken control of the Democrat Party, time to throw the rascals out.

    I don't think that is "twisting into knots".

    Trump said that he does not support an abortion ban at the federal level but that the issue, since it is so divisive, belongs to the state. He stated he supports regulation but not a ban at the state level (as a voter).

    His issue is getting votes. So he panders (with IVF) and tries to hit the ground that will give him votes.

    Harris does the same with other issues.

    They are both politicians.

    The potential next President of the United States could have the same first and last initials as me. ;)

    Off topic deflection.

    Anyone who votes for a candidate that avoids explaining why she was against fracking before she was for fracking is unwise.
    Anyone who votes for a candidate that avoids explaining why implied Mr. Biden was not declining is unwise.

    Anyone that votes Donald Trump is unwise. Donald Trump and his National Conservative cohorts want to gain power and establish a dictatorship.

    Complete fiction by the godless left, the dictators are the Democrats!. Recall the mask mandate. Vaccine mandate. EV mandate. Who wants government imposed price controls? Who wants to stack the Supreme Court.

    Remember this, when the godless left makes a charge against their opponent, the opposite is true, they have been establishing a non-functional dictatorship, secretly suppressing free speech, weaponizing the Justice department, and on and on.

    They, the Democrats are a clear and present danger to democracy.

    Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to democracy. He wants to destroy democracy in the United States, just as he tried and failed to do on January 6, 2021, when he stirred up a riot to invade the Capitol.

    One false charge after another is spewed by the godless left. Who tried to have DJT's name removed from ballots? Those who are a clear and present danger to democracy. Not DJT! Who claimed the Laptop had the "earmarks" of Russian disinformation? Not DJT! Who failed to provide reasonable security for DJT? The list of attacks by the godless left on democracy is long indeed.
    Spewing disinformation is an attack on democracy, taking and explaining clear positions provides a basis for democracy.

    Since Donald Trump waffles here and there, and seems to want to spend time in his speeches talking about nonsense such as Hannibal Lecter, sharks, and boat batteries, then according to your own words, Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.

    Folks, note how those supporting the godless left do not discuss the fact that the Harris campaign used to be against fracking, but now is for fracking. Was against the wall, but now seems unopposed to the wall. People who do not tell you exactly where they stand, then govern with the policies they supported in their campaign are the threat to democracy.

    Mr. Stalin was not a middle of road leader, but that is how he represented himself to gain power.

    Does anyone think that Hunter Biden had a ‘come to Jesus’ moment when he pled guilty to all charges? Joe says he won’t pardon Hunter. That keeps the press happy so they won’t have to ask questions & ruin Biden’s last days of vacay while being President. Hunter then will be sentenced in Dec. leaving time for the pardon. If he had gone to trial it wouldn’t be done in time. Golden parachute.

    I don't think that a pardon would happen, if it happens at all, for Hunter Biden until what would hopefully be a Kamala Harris administration.

    I would hope that a President Kamala Harris would pardon a defeated Donald Trump from all federal charges.
