Trump knows what he's doing and the tactics of his opponents are no different than his own tactics. As hard as it is to pin Trump down on his true beliefs, I really do think that he believes in fascism and corporatism to the greatest degree. Everything he has ever done in politics has been about using state power to further the agenda of a group regardless of the constitutional liberties it deletes. It's not hyperbole to say that if his rhetoric on policy was fully implemented, there would be no civil liberties anymore. He is an outrageously dangerous man. Many others like him who came before him looked like he does now when they were first rising up, and few called them the danger they really were.
Great post. How much does it hurt that the guy you like, the genius who's policies are objectively correct, is going to vote for this man to be president? Seriously, does it make you rethink your Cruz support at all or do you think it's just something he has to say?
