I’m really hoping his cult of personality dies with him. (Or tries to glom on to Junior, who lacks, well, everything required to make him an effective populist leader).

Of all the people in the Trump orbit, I am most afraid of Jared. He seems to have been smart enough to avoid getting stuck in any of his father-in-law’s messes. And he is way, way too close to dictators abroad. I don’t think he wants to actually insert himself into politics. But he could end up being the one that finances the next attempt a dictatorship in the US.

Not exactly the same playbook. Hitler was much younger when he tried his coup. And I don’t think Trump is writing any manifestos, unless he gets put in the same cell with his ghost writer.

If Trump goes to prison, he’s old enough that he will likely die there, even with a shortish sentence. And there’s a chance that a smarter buffoon takes over the party, but did you see the clown show last night? I doubt any of those has what it takes.

Trump is not the next Hitler, no matter how badly he wants to be. My fear is that the next Hitler is just around the corner, and uses the Trump playbook to come to power.

This might be the Genesis of a meme

It’s like every time Trump opens his mouth, he shows us his taint…

Perhaps this “Biden Crime Family” thing was just projection all along…

You have to either be rich, or run enough grift on a regular basis to appear rich, by sticking other people with the bills.

Especially since the “originalists” are being quite disingenuous. They’ve wanted for quite a while to start a new Constitutional Convention to rewrite the thing from scratch. They don’t really respect the founders as much as we think they do. They want to become the new founders, and force their great-great-grandchidren into boxes they make.

The Governor even screams “woke” at the insurance companies, for raising rates, or leaving altogether. But insurance companies are about as far from woke as you get. They don’t give a shit about the latent injustice in the system. They just look at their numbers, and tweak them until they maximize their revenue vs. risk. And all the bean counters have decided that Florida is too risky.
