*wearily* fuhrerprinzip

Jack Posobiec told CPAC that Trump is not violating the Constitution because "Trump is the living embodiment of the American Constitution."

I'll take "Is MAGA a cult?" for $1,000.00, Alex.

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•18 hours ago

like this is completely deliberate at this point right

dankeevy.bsky.social•18 hours ago

The living embodiment? What does that even mean? 😭😭😭

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It means he personifies the entire sovereignty of the People and so his actions are, inherently, their actions

dankeevy.bsky.social•18 hours ago

So he's basically "we the people?" Hardly embodying the entire constitution. More like a Spark Note of the constitution.

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Basically, yeah. It's Carl Schmitt's theory of constitutionalism (i.e. dictatorship, that's literally the name of the book)

dankeevy.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Oh yeah, I was more teasing the entire idea. History hasn't exactly been kind to l'état c'est moi rulers.

fiftysixspecial.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Of course it is

effinvicta.bsky.social•18 hours ago

From Posobiec, absolutely.

I mean, he's also just plagiarizing the waterloo (1970) napoleon's dictator speech

dankeevy.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Waterloo? How'd that end for old Bonny?

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•18 hours ago

There's probably an intellectual through-line between Napoleon's use of the "constituent power" notion and Schmitt's, yeah?

pwnallthethings.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I mean, hitler was in fact a big fan of napoleon so

dankeevy.bsky.social•18 hours ago

True. It's what made his ruinous Russia plan all the more schadenfreude. How do you study the dude who lost and do the exact same thing, Al.

Napoleon, down in hell: I would like very much to be excluded from this narrative

Hitler: mumbles something into Napoleon's butthole

Points to Napoleon's re-establishment of slavery in 1802.

He needs to show his work for that claim and include a bibliography.

47 is living embodiment of all the cardinal sins.

"Trump hat immer recht", coming soon to a government office building near you

paladinteacher.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Oh, my gosh, that's like the idea of kings ruling by "divine right." They have totally lost their minds. Medieval and stupid.

jeffreyharharwood.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I've also seen plenty of "divine right" arguments for trump in the last 8 or 9 years lol so yeah that tracks

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It's actually kind of funny, all these internet Nazi hangers-on keep saying the Fuhrerprinzip and then Trump is just calling himself the king

Those are not exactly the same theoretical foundations for autocracy!!

lfillingham.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He's also speaking directly to the sovcits and especially the Constitutional Sheriffs in a fundamentalist religious way. There's a vast morass of religious shit that's getting mixed into who Trump is as a figure/symbol every day.

naldo-sterling.bsky.social•17 hours ago

No he isn't

robertaecks.bsky.social•17 hours ago

What a tiresome little man.

castouroboros.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Can we stop now? We all hit bingo weeks ago.

winflead.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Trump makes King George III seem sane when his porphyria was at its worse. BTW USA those taxes you whine about endlessly were to pay for the defence of your borders.

revcailleach.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It's the waxing poetic like he's the fucking messiah for me. *gag*

celticdragon1.bsky.social•18 hours ago

SUPPORT HIM REICH NOW!

lizardky.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Ask them to say “Biden and Obama were also the living embodiment of the Constitution”.

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•18 hours ago

No no, Trump isn't the living embodiment because he's president, that's not how it works. He's president because he's the living embodiment (because he's Trump)
