Both posts by @onceanlsufan and @Kikicaca are accurate but they have perverted the concepts in those statements. Washington warning was more about what the Republicans have become than anything. Franklin and the other founding fathers saw what happened in Rome after Cesar and contemporaneously in France during the revolution. Trump has/is attempting to destroy the republic
Not sure I have ever encountered a more politically ignorant human being in my entire life, seriously! Your "republic" is being dismantled daily right in front of your eyes but you focus on Trump. If you are not a bot or just pulling our leg here then you are what I think you are. Rex is more politically astute than you.
I don't think there's ever been a more personal insult ever hurled on this board. And I'm not sure which one of them should be insulted more.
