(53,778 posts)You say "it will happen" then say "if not trump...".
I posted it won't be trump which you seem to agree with with your "it will be someone worse. A competent intelligent fascist that can behave in a professional manner."
I agree it'll be someone else even worse, but as far as it being a competent, intelligent, professional fascist, that all seems a contradiction of terms.
Who in the repug party matches that...Gym Jordan the confused liar on whether he called trump on Jan. 6, Gov. Death Sentence of covid-ridden Florida, Gov. Abbott who let his state freeze last winter, Cancun Ted fucking Cruz, Pence who's so hated by the rank and file they tried to hang him.
Nah they may pick one of them and they may be proto-fascists, but competent, intelligent and professional? Uh-un, they're all pretenders to those qualities.

Both senators fit that description, and Cotton in particular fits it precisely. Compared to tRump, they pass as rational.
The assholes you cite all are part of the "spectacle" that actually gives the better-behaved fascists a chance.

(2,520 posts)of things. This isnt one of them. Hes not going to run hes too polarizing with too much garbage. Hes living off of a short wet dream. I wish people would stop bringing him into the conversation it only makes him relevant. We should look at DeSantis. They turn to him in every event to find out his opinion. Look at all the publicity we give him. Everyone seems to know about his new year Eves speech. Can they comment on another Governor other than your own ?
Am I the only one who thinks a comment we are freest state in the country
like this just seems wrong. it just me? 🤦♀️
