Far from consolidating his support, the former president appears weakened in his party, especially with younger and college-educated Republicans. Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is the most popular alternative.
Republicans who don’t support Trump (Rino’s) need to be removed from office. That would include republicans like Romney, Cheney and a host of others.
That would move republicans further towards fascism.
@Trajan61 He wanted to be one. He had a lot of admiration for dictators around the world, as he wanted to be one himself and was frustrated with the governmental power being divided between the three branches. He tried to end democracy by overturning the election. He demanded personal loyalty to himself over loyalty to the country or the constitution. He demonized persons of color pretty often... Trump wanted to take us down the road towards fascism.
I am a bit worried, as DeSantis, who is more competent than Trump, might succeed where Trump failed in moving us towards fascism. He is a lot more power hungry and has already put limitations in place on what can and cannot be taught in schools in Florida, as well as restricting the rights of women. If he becomes president, unless you are a heterosexual white male you will be screwed over.
Problem is they are just going to support DeSatan, Trump 3.0 (a major upgrade: smarter, better prepared, much more politically savvy). If he runs against Biden, we are screwed. Democrats need to come out with a candidate with mass appeal throughout the Party spectrum to get the voters out.
Once Trump is gone, a large portion of the media will attempt to portray DeSantis as a monster.
AS IF that would be difficult.....
DeathSantis IS a monster
DeSantis and Cruz are good alternative canadates to replace Trump if he decides not to run.
DeSantis is doing stuff in Florida that will attract few if any of the GOP voters who are ready to leave Trump.
To whom would they go?
@Organist1 Clarifying.
The arc of history leans from tyranny toward democracy.
In 1776 Americans rebelled against a monarchic-aristocracy and in 1787 secretly created a plutocratic oligarchy. What they said was kept secret for fifty years.
You prolly know Ben Franklin’s reply, “...if you can keep it.”
I’ve read that the word “fascism” appeared about 1870.
Our generation’s ruling class untruthfully refer to our plutocratic oligarchy as “our democracy”.
If our generation replace our plutocratic oligarchy with fascism, another generation will have an opportunity to replace it with a government more democratic than ours. I don’t see more democracy as a disaster.
Frying pan meet fire...how is this supposed to make me (us) feel....?
