Motown Bombers Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 At least Virginia doesn't have someone as unexciting and uninspiring as Terry McAuliffe. This is more exciting at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 PS: I wouldn't have called him a moron because he actually has a brain and knows what he's doing. That's the REALLY dangerous thing about DeSantis. EXTREMELY dangerous fascist. And he's not a douche like Trump... although it may also apply here but...

He is much smarter than Trump though, and has shown a willingness to follow the crazies if it helps him. So don't take that first statement as an endorsement.

If I had to choose between them, I would choose the devil I don't know. I absolutely can not stand hearing or seeing Trump or watching his naive followers fawn over him. Trump with a brain would be more dangerous though, so it could get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what your definition is of "better off". He is a much, much more dangerous fascist than TFG. So, how is that better off?

So, how is that better off? One thing is that he wouldn't be easily duped by dictators of other countries. He wouldn't make us the laughingstock of the world with his idiocy. On the other hand, he could be more dangerous to our democracy as you say. I don't know yet. Would he alienate more than half the country by "owning the libs" or would he become more moderate as President than he is as governor of a red state?

Professors and College students are required to report their political leanings to the State. That doesn't sound like a Democracy to me at all. That sounds exactly, and I mean EXACTLY, like a Fascist Police State. Trump is a wannabe Kim Jung Un. He wants to own everything (an entire country) and everyone is required to give him everything. DeSantis is a straight up police state fascist. I don't like where this country is headed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Russian oligarchs had no problem with Putin as he rose to power. Money is very powerful. Almost everything this country does is for their benefit. I don't see that changing.

1984Echoes Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Might depend on the oligarch... Some are staunchly against fascism. But in Russia, Putin kills off those dissenting oligarchs so they better be in his back pocket and be licking his boots, or else... DeSantis has already tried that in Florida. Punishing those against his politics and rewarding those who kiss his feet. Are we turning into our own version of Russia? Is that where oligarchic greed here is leading us to...? I thought it was white trash bigotry that had us headed in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewsieg Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I can't believe there is a debate on if DeSantis or Trump would be worse for this country. The argument that DeSantis is a smarter Trump thus worse for the country, in the words of Biden, "C'mon man". With Trump, you get a 100% chance that he will try to find a way to stay in power or ensure Eric or Ivanka take over, legally be damned. He wasn't close to doing it last time, no matter how bad we all agree 1/6 was, but we're still just learning how close he was at breaking with the 'adults in the room' leading up to 1/6. I doubt he makes the mistake of allowing any adults in the room next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
