    "If you are worried about a president with authoritarian tendencies grabbing too much power, you look at a president in wartime. The quickest way he can do it is to take the nation into a war. Presidents in wartime can declare martial law."https://twitter.com/CrownPublishing/status/1059462587899920385 …

    Vox has just posted what it calls a “stunning” interview with Michael Beschloss on PRESIDENTS OF WAR, Donald Trump and how Presidents can dangerously exploit wars to seize new power and threaten American democracy. Read it: http://bit.ly/2Pa6L4W

        Welp, Mr. Beschloss, who regularly provides context mixed with subtle shade, is throwing it down this AM. Hoping people heed it and vote.

        Ken D, please demand NBC apologize for airing Trump's racist ad during football game Sunday. That was horrible.

        You mean like with Iran? With Congress out of session if not out of office? With the Constitution in shreds in the Oval? Is that what you're getting at?

        Authoritarian tendencies? He’s clearly a full blown fascist. I don’t doubt for a second he’d become another Hitler given enough power.

        @AlexWardVox What a reassuring assessment to read the night before the election. Couldn't you have waited to lay this on us until after the results come in? If there were ever a reason to #VOTEBLUE, this is it.

        I fear this is where we're heading. This administration has been hellbent on war with Iran from the start.

        The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t far off when you look through the Trump lens. We have already witnessed a crawl in that direction. And that should frighten every single person in the US.

        A Reichstag Fire moment will also create the opportunity for an authoritarian crackdown. If the election results are not to his liking, I consider that a real possibility.

        He plans on doing it based on a Reichstag border incident right after midterms. Especially if his Nationalist party loses.

        Your bias is affecting your credibility, Hillary would have been much more likely to get us into a war than Trump .
