I get that he's trying to be apolitical in advance of the big movie he's in coming out, but saying something like that doesn't come off as apolitical really; it just comes off as gutless honestly because there really is no equating the way the left and the right operate anymore at all. 2 Quote

He’s surrounding himself with yes men and so far he’s been able to escape facing any consequences for his actions I doubt that’s gonna change anytime soon trump gets what he wants we’re seeing that as we speak There's gonna be some resistance to him getting the things he wants, but we've seen in the past that he doesn't have a problem stepping back when there's a public outcry and then try to get what he wants later on again and again until either people's resistance has been broken down or he can just simply find a way around it. He's ignorant about how government is supposed to work, but he's primarily just looking to tear things down and purge anyone not loyal to him, so unfortunately given enough time he will eventually get his way on a lot things. Just a matter of how many roadblocks can be thrown up to slow him down to try and run out the clock before the midterms when maybe, just maybe, the dems can get back the house or senate and act as an actual check on him. That's pretty wishful thinking I believe at this point though. 2 Quote

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but corruption doesn't necessarily equal dictatorship. There's been corruption in our government for a long time, as well as many others around the world, without it ever going anywhere near the point of a full-blown dictatorship. 2 Quote
