I'm actually a 'third way' kind of guy. So as far as supporting Trump, he's better than Hillary. But i'd prefer universal healthcare, a mono ethnic state, and more 'big daddy' government. I believe corporations should work for the State and therefore the People.

Concur. It is time to throw off the shackles of individualism, and embrace our community and our people. We must build a strong State with a strong executive leader, otherwise our nation will suffer eternal weakness.

Remember how the Confederate states died? Or how the Articles of Confederation failed?

The only way to preserve the Union and to assure the tranquility, peace and domestic security is through a strong central, executive authority.

Close the Congress and carpet bomb the White House. Then randomly pick a Thomas Jefferson descendant and crown him. Just my wet dream.

Or by letting smart people run things instead of whatever rich white moron can yell the loudest and act the most macho...

The problem with the CSA and Articles of Confederation was not trusting Congress with too much power.

Yes. There should be a strong central command, filled with the nation's best minds and led by a competent leader with centralised control and authority to implement directives.

A bickering Congress goes in circles only. Its time to move Forward.

Always Choose Progress.

most non-democratic rulers have been fairly benevolent though if you look at the entirety of histories, there have been far more authoritarian than democratic governments and most of the regimes are fairly benign; you can't just look at a small sample of the worst examples

Not to mention that without him Dracula and Castlevania might never have been. One shudders at the thought.

If by "worked" you mean systematically murdered 6 million innocent people and spouted white supremacist propaganda.

Not sure if you know this, but the Allies were the good guys.
Unless you're a Nazi of course.

Yawn, I hear this same refrain every 2 to 4 years. Maybe incumbents keep getting voted in because their constituents like them so much. They do bring home the pork to their districts and donors.
