NO ONE in the Rep Party holds the power that tRump does. He's the cult leader who can tell his followers ANYTHING and they'll believe it. Once he's gone 🙏 the R Party will fall apart. So we need all those Big Macs to do their job!!!
Very true.....absolutely. But without the orange monster at the helm I feel the movement will falter. Or maybe I'm just trying to find something positive to believe in amidst this horror show🤷♀️
Sure maybe. However if our plan is to inch over the line and beat Orange, but the rest of MAGA still has a hunger for mayhem, then someone else will captivate that hunger. That’s what history tells us.
Nah! The tech bros of Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Elon Musk, JD Vance, and worst of all Curtis Yarvin are the ones running this show. tRump is the useful idiot while the tech bros implement Yarvin's philosophy of a dictatorial monarch, or in his words "A National CEO". Vance would be much worse.
Exactly this. Anyone who thinks Vance can successfully manage a "look over there!" while pulling the robberies the felon has fails to realize how much people hate Vance.
Vance is performative. With Trump dead, a lot of this fixes itself. Vance isn’t the cult hero that trump is…we can go after Vance if he steps out of line in a way that we can’t seem to touch Trump. Trump is uniquely dangerous and must be removed from office…now!
Unfortunately tRump is only a symptom. As is Vance. The rot goes deeper and has to do with unrestrained greed, capitalism, egoism, reckless individualism - a failed, psychopathic society with wrong values.
Trump is well educated and has outsmarted democrats for a decade. He’s not dumb. He went to a military college.
He is playing a strategy of hamlet and chaos.
*Drive enemies to underestimate.
*use chaos to disrupt, break equilibrium, make communication difficult.
*being antitruth, breaks logic
Although not yet and I emphasize YET. He is not as bad as Adolf Hitler. He has the capability to be far worse as the world is a much smaller place than it was 100 years ago.

We need to disarm the hysteria.

He’s an evil asshole with a lot of military education and zero ethical constraints.

This is t something I want to thread a needle on.
Red scare stuck around for …
This level of mindshare will stick around for a long time.
