I had this discussion on a business trip.Many Americans somewhat like Trump's policies but they are overpowered by the Overton window (shifted to cultural marxist radical) of "white supremacist" screeching leftoids so they stay quiet or agree with the WS BS out of embarrassment and fear of consequences.
stuff...

Overton window only defines what you're allowed to bring up, it doesn't limit what people think, and it limits how they can phrase things.
If I say "Trump is a good president because he's not started a new war", here in Silicon Valley - people will be upset because I said "Trump is a good president". I'm violating the Overton window there. If, however, I say "I'd more pleased with Trump than Obama or Bush because either through incompetence of genius, he's managed not to start a new war, and I don't care if he's incompetent at starting a new war or because he's intentionally fru...
Right, the Overton window has shifted to the extreme left. Almost anything is allowed and ok to say against conservatives and Trump currently. Not the other way of course.
A narcissist personality like Trump, supported by his cult can continue to rule America with Electoral College and Senate even while the other party is majority.
Resistance can be broken by attacking every one relentlessly and lo behold we can have the first American dictator.
What changes do they expect would happen with pelosi at the helm? How would their life improve? would a couple of more wars in foreign countries improve their lives. Would more welfare improve the lives of the working stiff or the medium wealthy? Would opening the border improve their lives?
So you think Obama was a dictator because he wasn't impeached?
Are you saying people objecting to Obama presidency were not racist?

No, we have fake news now, we can openly discuss government corruption, and we can even talk about fake wars like Iraq, Libya, and Syria now.
This was absolutely impossible under Obama. There has been tremendous progress. The window is now much more open, it's not just to "the left". This is the widest I've seen it in my lifetime. The "left" is loosing, and this might surprise you, I was considered solidly left 15 years ago, because I was openly in opposition to the war in Iraq that Bush lied us into. I'm not left, I just have a respect for what I consider to be real, and I despise propaganda, I hate lies.
Stop being played by the fake left/right game. It's government versus us. Trump MIGHT be on ...
When George W. Bush was busy lying the nation into a war over a non existent weapons of mass destruction program, I though the Republicans were a bunch of dirtbag scumbags, especially when it became blatantly obvious that he lied.
Don't hate Trump!
Hate the slimy scum that elected him.

ORLY? Even fucking NYT has reported on US soldiers getting poisoned by Iraqi chemical weapons they found stashed in the desert in 2007
but I guess they don't read NYT in Olgino, amirite?
A lot of people are saying that Trump lies better than any politician they've ever seen.
He's not supposed to be growing stronger.

But he is.
He's not supposed to be more popular than ever.
But he is.
He's certainly not supposed to be getting handed court victory after court victory as the wall goes up & you can see SpyGate coming.
But it's happening.
Why isn't Trump shooting traitors like Mitt Romney and Warren in the face and disemboweling them on TV?
Why isn't Trump evicting states that voted for the Golden Mu Mu?
He won the election, right?
n fact, Trump should order Warren and Romney to skull fuck each other to death.
Creepy Joe

Is Trump losing his grip? Is he losing his capacity to control the minds of even the dimmest, most pathetic Republican hacks?
One of my core principles is don't murder people to steal their stuff.
