Warnock: "Cynicism & despair sets in & rather than people turning toward each other they are tempted to turn on each other, & that creates just the kind of atmosphere where strong men emerge promising to solve all of our problems in one fell swoop. We have to resist... show more

Trump's first year has given us the worst holiday season in modern history.

This is how it always starts: people get tired, lonely, suspicious. And the grifters don’t fix the pain — they weaponize it. They don’t offer a plan. They offer a villain. They don’t build a country. They build a crowd that claps when neighbors get crushed. “Strong men” don’t heal anything — they outsource your dignity to their ego and call it order. If someone promises to solve everything in one swoop, they’re not saving you — they’re selecting you.

Authoritarians thrive on despair & division. Hitler rose from Germany’s economic collapse, Mussolini from Italy’s chaos, Pinochet from Chile’s turmoil. Strongmen promise quick fixes whereas democracy requires solidarity. Democracy wins when we affirm our neighbor’s humanity.

Sydney and University shootings wiped out every single article on Epstein and Trump photos. How interesting.

This may seem like a minor point of transcription but he clearly, to me, says "strongmen" not "strong men" and that bit of inflection has very different (dictatorial) connotations.

Raise the min wage, raise taxes on billionaires. Tax breaks for small & medium-sized bizs, NOT for lrg. Same answers. Pretty talk is nice @SenatorWarnock, but money solves problems hugs can't touch. We need MONEY & a competent govt. His spending is a deadly & glittery waste. #AFP

Yeah, no, those Nazis are not humans and I will never treat them as such.

Trump is NOT strong. He’s a coward!

Like “let millions and millions into our country without vetting” (then we can develop programs to siphon $$$$ in fraud) Win win

It’s impressive how privileged rich people always use the word „we“ while they’re not part of those common Americans they just throw into poverty.

Self proclaimed strong men you mean...

How can we do that when the left wants us dead?

Too late trump is already here

Amen

Kristen Welker.. “I refuse to ask this Black liberal democrat a TOUGH question because I know he is too fucking stupid to answer!” 🖕🖕🖕Meet the Press

What a word salad bunch of horse 💩 💩

Since thousands of years it’s same. In times of need, Homo sapiens focuses on its very own survival. Prepare for the worst

It’s pretty obvious. Trump was triggered by Sen. Warnock’s reference to a “strong man” dictator.

Wisest Senator!

Chuckie shumers lap dog, after all he took over georgia

If it wasn’t for people like the Democrats, most people would not need to protect themselves!
