As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis flipped pork chops in front of the cameras at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, a plane appeared in the broiling blue sky.
It is deeply disturbing that Trump is still in the lead for the Republican nomination despite his multiple indictments, multiple sexual transgressions, complete ineptitude in things like economics, foreign policy, freakin’ covid, and his open hostility towards democracy, rule of law, and the US Constitution. He openly used the presidency to enrich himself and his family at the expense of US taxpayers, American democracy, and world stability. His open love for dictators like Putin should be sending shivers down the spine of every anti-government right-winger, and yet they still rush to embrace this guy as their best choice. Their best fucking choice. The guy that doesn’t even pretend that he doesn’t want dictator-level power. I guess that’s what the Republicans crave.
I’m not about to say this for condoning his actions, but as an observer in a southern red state: It’s a lot to do with his brashness and no fucks given. Also the appearance of going into politics as an outsider to the system.
To them, his openness to a lot of his, eh, trumpisms, is better than how most politicians conduct themselves. I could be wrong, but it’s the sentiment and vibe I get from the people that like him around here give off.
It’s a lot to do with his brashness and no fucks given.
Probably says more about the electorate than Trump. The fact that “no fucks given” is a value worth celebrating and condoning tells you a lot about how sick this country is at the moment.
Because you need me, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That’s why I did this, to save you from yourselves.
I think the republicans in the senate at least realize its very hard to unseat an incumbent president, so why waste their time and money putting up any real presidential candidate in 2024? Better for them to wait till 2028 to try and get power back, and by that time the trump cult will burn out in whatever way its going to implode and they can start over without that baggage. This of course assumes trump does not split the party into 2, if that happens all bets are off and the right wing of US politics might be dead for decades, its pretty obvious that if trump cant win the presidency that he will try to take the entire party down with him… its how he operates.
