Trump text about reforming the GOP and dealing with the 7 who voted against him

I received a text today about Trump wanting to run again and reform the Republican party, getting rid of the 7 senators who voted against him.

This screams totalitarianism to me, in that any one who has a opinion or view that criticizes or disagrees with Trump is banished, so to speak.

And I can't help but think... if he is successful, what will be the ultimate reaction from the other side of the aisle?  How will this turn out?  What consequences come about from these kinds of control/manipulation/oppressions?

It would nice to have a moderate conservative run for president and win, who upholds both conservative values as well as kindness.  Freedom of speech as well as humility.

Capitalism... and its Woes... but its capable with....

I read a book recently called "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie as extra credit for a class I took. This book really influenced me, along with the recent events in America such as 2008 Financial Crisis, Occupy Wall Street movement, and other Big Business problems here and globally. What has also been helpful in thinking about this has been talks with an older family member about some history in this country in the 1900s before I was born: Los Angeles and Racism and White flight, Manufacturing going out of country, anti-Union companies, low minimum wage and poor conditions, toxic bosses and leadership, JFK and Union history, and how the top 1 % of people have a combined net worth of 30% of all household wealth, while the bottom 50 % has 1.9% of all wealth. Along this thread of thinking has been the polarized politics of Republicans and Democrats.  And how very different groups of people are grouped into these two groups based on who supports their spec
