I’m a conservative, but I have no doubt that Donald Trump’s actual authoritarianism is a much bigger threat to this country than any of the Democrat’s hoped-for socialism.

Put another way: I’m way more afraid of a dictator than I am of a guaranteed jobs program or free college.

1. What a world we live in when Arch-Conservative Joe Freaking Walsh is an ally

2. Too little, too late.

You helped create this monster. Now that you've lost control of him, you want to disavow him? Meh.

3. We will win with coalitions, not stomping our feet...

... in anger.

4. Thanks

8. agreed

i welcome everybody that is against Trump. Stopping Trump and Barr, Pompeo, Pence, etc is the primary fight. We can go back to disagreeing about healthcare plans and minimum wage increases when Trump is gone.

14. I'm not "stomping my feet in anger."

I'm just not impressed with his rare instance of sanity. It's like Steve Urkel saying, "Did I do that?" Only, it's not funny here.

10. I agree with you

I will point out, though, that Walsh is the only one who's admitted his part in creating this mess.

12. He's one of the few who admits how bad he was

He knows he’s and others like him are to blame. He actually gets it.

5. Well-put. Would be a great bumper sticker.

6. Media should be giving these Trump opponents much more coverage.

Republicans need to be informed that they have a choice other than Donald Trump.

They could be much more effective than the constant barrage against Democrats, imo.

7. In Walsh's Eyes, he's also 100% correct

He thinks programs like free college or medicare for all will fail miserably and people will rise up and reject socialism and embrace conservative economic principles.

He's wrong, but I think that's his thinking.

Trump as dictator would destroy America

[lunatica]

9. Strange bedfellows indeed!

But in this case I’ll take it.

[pepperbear]

11. Afraid of free college and guaranteed jobs?

that's no ally. He won't stump or anything.

13. I think Walsh is an opportunist. I am glad he said this but he has no moral compass. nt

15. Agreed. He wants Trump's position. A Walsh Presidency would not be much different than a Trump one.
