Kincardine, ON – Local man Allan Terry has expressed his belief that the Democrats need to improve their messaging and policy efforts if they want to win the next Presidential election, charmingly revealing that he thinks there will be another fair and free Presidential election in his lifetime. “Clearly Democrats need to totally reshape their […]
Trump’s going to put a bunch of social media grifters and narcissists into his cabinet and really get things done. The GOP is simply too competent to fail.
We definitely won’t have municipal elections in 2025 or state elections in 2026. And nothing will go so wrong that people abandon the Republican Party like they did in 2018.
Elections will be cancelled, just like they were after 2002 and 2016, when Republicans had a three branch monopoly. And no liberal will ever be so popular as to threaten establishment conservative politics.
Man. I want to believe that, I really do.
But the man literally led a coup attempt. A shitty, ineffective one, but he tried nonetheless.
Last time Trump was held back by guardrails, people in the administrative government and in his cabinet kept his worst behavior in check.
This time, we’re already seeing plans to dismantle all that. Only install loyalists, remove anyone else. As in, literally demoting military higher ups who won’t kiss the ring.
I just hope they’re still too incompetent to do any irreversible damage. But fuck me, man. It’s hard to be hopeful.
From what I hear, one of the most important guardrails last time was the 5S system: smile, say sure, subsequently shred. Trump lacks focus and follow through for anything except his core interests, so some of the people close to him apparently got away with simply not carrying out some of his more boneheaded demands.
Yeah, but that was when he wanted the appearance of respectability and brought in some establishment Republicans who hadn’t drank the koolaid. The people he’s nominating now are loyalists through and through who won’t have any reservations to give in to his worse demands.
The great thing about narcissists is they’re narcissists: they only care about themselves, they’re thin skinned, and they’re vindictive.
There is no chance in hell this admin is going to be efficient. One of the things that stands to save the USA is the inevitable infighting of Trump’s cabinet and party.
No, you don’t want to put narcissists in your cabinet if you’re a fascist dictator. Narcissists will covet your position and seek power for themselves. If you’re a fascist movement, you can afford to have one narcissist at the top, but everybody on the bottom has to be yes-men. You want the bulk of your movement to be white men who crave a powerful masculine figure to dominate them. You want submissives. That’s not where you’ll find 99% of narcissists. You’ll find 99% of narcissists on the left, saying that they’re entitled to more pay and fewer hours. You’ll find 99% of narcissists refusing to be dominated by other people and fighting for equality. You’ll find 99% of narcissists trying to make the world a better place.
