How many normal people here equate American democrats with totalitarian socialists/stalinists/maoists/mass murderers?
I am not asking this to start a fight, but rather to get some idea of the people I will be dealing with here.

Erm…not sure how to respond to that…No maybe?!?
I think to equate thm would be an insult to anyone who has lived under a maoist/stalinist regime.
haha ok now I get you post…
Extreme left or right both end up as extreme nationalist authoritarian…I think as long as america stays a democracy theres no real risk of american totalitarianism. But theres always the chance of some new superduper brainwashing machine…
Me.
Of course, the original question was posed by a conservative. similia similibus solvuntur. After all, you are the most outspoke person here.
Socialists maybe, but that’s about all I can pick out.
are you suggesting that I am conservative?
what gave you that idea?
god remains dead and substituting the marxist god of state totalitarianism doesn’t cut it.

What is a democrat under the american system? I wouldn’t know enough about american politics and parties to make any real judgement, what are their characteristics?
Conservative? Undefined term. Republican? Certainly. Neo-Con? Yuppers. Fascist? Yeah, I’ll go with “yes” on that one.
an advocate for state totalitarianship (aka USSR)

then you need to pay closer attention to what you read…

I dunno about ‘normal’, which I suppose is in the eye of the beholder (now that’s a scary thought…) but apparently some percentage of the Republican/Independent/Libertarian/NRA/KKK/Bubba/Smith&Wesson/Chickenhawk/Redneck/“I thought they meant BRIT Hume!”/ButtcrackShowin’/Limbaugh follower conginent can be described as follows:
Diagnostic Criteria for 1776.0 Americanistic Personality Disorder:
A pervasive pattern of greed, selfishness, and lack of empathy, beginning the moment he or she begins to intellectualize and presented in nearly all contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
lacks empathy due to an excessive degree of self-absorption
believes that he or she is exceptional and morally superior
frequently engages in exploitative behaviors
requires frequent acquisition of goods he or she doesn’t need
usually resorts to some form of overt or covert violence, coercion, or extortion to resolve conflicts
perceives others as obstacles to his or her “success”
disregards laws and rules except as a means to achieve his or her agenda
demonstrates deep hypocrisy by projecting a righteous, benevolent image while committing reprehensible acts
refuses to accept the consequences of his or her actions
(from “Political Cortex”)…
I’m not mentioning this to start a fight, y’understand, but rather to show how wonderfully diverse and tolerant of even the most repugnant ideas this forum can be. It’s origination and continued operation is truly evidence of the genius of the finest liberal minds. 
Ingenium has to be an anti-semite. Those very same things have been said about the Jews for centuries.

Democracy and democrats usedto equate to the Athenian government which was based on the national-awareness and self-control of the public.
Without national-awareness and self-control, the votes of the public basically amount to apathetic and ignorant horse-shit, superficial, random and reactive opinions based on the dumbest of whims.
When this sort of people vote between only an isolated few representitives who’s image is projected over the TV in order to impress and insight the mob on a basically shallow level, – it is not really a democracy anymore, but instead, it is a couch-potatoe mob. Just a mob, not a democracy. Just a random dumb mob, in a big flock.
Sheepshit equates to American democracy.
The mass-murderers are the guys on top who say “oops we didn’t know”, or keep silent, and also the dudes who some salute, and ware a poppy for, you know that red little fake flower over their chest…?
But “murder” is only illegal killing,
And legal/illegal aren’t legal/illegal
So there’s no murderers, just people who are punished and people who aren’t.

gulags, purges and killing fields were simply punishment for not submitting to the totalitarian whims of the left…

They appear to be reformists. They are not in the same league as Mao and Stalin.
According to IMP, the liberals are the totalitarians.
That means we can only be completely free from totalitarianism purely through right-wing government, without any remaining trace of liberty…
