It's funny how this thread does not produce more conservative voices. It's as though conservatives are afraid to voice their opinions here.
Or it's that Trump is a godawful candidate and they're not willing to be intellectually dishonest apologists and defend him and vote for him just because the guy has an (R) next to his name? But I'm hopeful and optimistic like that.
If conservatives had something to be afraid of, why would I allow you to make that remark, or any of the hundreds of other similar remarks you've made on this board? Instead of seeing oppression around every corner of this message board, why don't you wake up and realize that you're carrying water for a genuine fascist sociopath who has flat-out said he would limit First Amendment rights, among several others which I pointed out earlier in the thread? Get some perspective and learn where the real problems are instead of whining about the mean moderators on the message board with zero effect on your life.
However, many who perpetuate that Trump will be a risk to American national security seem to be side-stepping the fact that Hillary has already taken significant risks with American national security...
Donald Trump perpetuates the image that he's a risk to national security on a daily basis.
50 senior Republican national security experts perpetuate the image that he's a risk to national security because he is.
Why is he asking questions like "Why are we still building nukes if we can't use them?" Why did he ask about using nukes three times in a security briefing, to the point where it scared the briefer enough to talk about it publicly? Why is he fine with nuclear proliferation to known terror sponsoring states like Saudi Arabia, and with forcing nukes on states that don't want them (Japan) or who are in a perpetual war footing (South Korea) because he'll pull our support for them? Why did he say he might use nukes as a response to ISIS?
Why is he already making military flag officers feel compelled to come out publicly and say that they would disobey his illegal orders to torture enemy combatants or purposely target the families of terrorists, both of which are war crimes? Why are intelligence agency directors saying they're concerned about giving him national intelligence briefings as a candidate because he has no self-control?
Why are the Russians subsidizing his personal finances and his many debts because he's burned his bridges with most US banks and feels compelled to lie about the size of his wealth to prop up his brand? Why does he directly ask the Russians to hack the emails of the Democratic National Committee in order to influence the election in his favor? Why does he constantly praise Putin's leadership (and vice versa) and admire his suppression of dissent through murder, imprisonment, and other strong-arm tactics? Why does he pretend the Russians aren't already in Ukraine, or doesn't know (see below)? Why does he make our Eastern European NATO allies feel like he would abandon them while they're extremely nervous about Russian aggression?
Why does he think Obama and Hillary founded ISIS when it existed before either of them were in the executive branch (oh, he was sarcastic, but not really, but only a little, but also totally serious)? Why does either he or his surrogate or both think Obama started the Afghanistan War in 2009? Why is he unaware of the Crimea situation and that Russia is already in the Ukraine? Why does he think Scotland was pro-Brexit?
Why is he calling for "2nd Amendment" solutions for making sure Hillary Clinton doesn't get to appoint Supreme Court justices after she's already been elected? Why is he inciting his violence prone, extremist crowds by suggesting that the election will be rigged before it's even happened and without any evidence of that? Why is he manufacturing a virtually non-existent voter fraud issue to not only exclude minority voters that oppose him but also to build up the narrative of a stolen election while he self-sabotages his campaign?
Why does he promise veterans charity funds from his fraudulant charity (which he uses to raise funds for himself, much like this election) and then not deliver until they publicly pressure him? Why does he attack the family of a deceased veteran and insinuate that the mother isn't allowed to speak because she's Muslim (she was just too distraught)? Why does he attack a decorated POW (John McCain) for being captured by the enemy? Why does he treat being given a Purple Heart by a veteran with all of the seriousness of finding a Pokemon? If he treats veterans like this now how can he be expected to treat them with respect when he's in office and not send them to die on a whim because Iran Tweets something mean at him and he's forced to respond?
Why is he talking about deporting and blocking Mexicans when there is zero net immigration, blocking Muslims from entering the country and registering the ones already here (or worse, internment camps), going back to Yellow Peril levels of demonization of the Chinese, and cracking down on freedom of the press to oppose it?
This is all just off the top of my head and there's literally so many more terrible things that he's said that it's impossible to keep up, so really, pull your head out of the goddamn sand already. He's not a sane candidate. And you can keep shouting "Buh, buh, but Hillary!" all you want, but she's not even in the same fucking league as Hair Mousselini. There's no shame in punting and trying again next time, but there is shame in supporting a fascist. You're making excuses for a fascist.
