I somewhat get people thinking having a good king is better than a bunch of quibling politicians, but kings weren't all powerful and the quibling politicians in their day were still the ones that actually ran the show.
And if you're going to chose a king, why chose orange painted generic loudmouth manchild number 5322.
Yeah the real “alpha” types are more afraid of steamrolling people than coming off as weak. They know there’s nothing wrong with submissive and vulnerable folks.
Seriously, they just want a kind father figure who will take care of them. Trump pretending to be that is pretty cruel. There’s a whole lot more going on, but that’s the core of it.
Authoritarians literally believe that the only way to run things is to put a bully in charge of them. Not only don’t they believe in democracy or cooperation, they don’t believe in free speech or markets either.
(Markets are acceptable to an authoritarian only insofar as the bully in charge and his buddies are permitted to lie to, cheat, and steal from other market participants. It is strictly forbidden for other market participants to voluntarily organize to exclude the bully. Any form of organization that does not have a bully in charge of it is illicit to the authoritarian mindset.)
i'm down, but that's sort of what this is, right? all in for cartoons in /m/politics.. we're the Superfriends, and you're Aquaman this morning or something..
I find solace in the fact that 50 cents out of every dollar of his campaign money is being spent on legal fees at the moment. His main PAC had a balance of over 100 million and sank to under 5 million. This was all prior to the George charges, which I imagine is going to radically increase his legal exposure.
These people are systematically transferring hundreds of millions to the ultimate con man.
He’s a grifter. He doesn’t believe anything he’s saying, he’s just like the guy he’s pledging allegiance to. He’ll collect in some way, whether it is in royalties from views, speaking engagements, or whatever. He’s playing a character.
It doesn’t excuse him or his bullshit. But guaranteed this is a grift on the manipulated masses.
