I admit I fell for some of that. Thought he could be a more dangerous version. Didn't realize when he got in front of people he has the charisma of a rock and a brain not much better.
We can't keep relying on the fascists being cartoonishly bad politicians. Trump's cheese brain and buffoonishness hurt him, Desantis's completely alien personality hurt him, but these limitations have just been happenstance. The fascist movement is ready and willing and out in the open, and sooner or later they're going to find someone who doesn't have these ancillary flaws. There are plenty of smooth talking sociopaths out there who can feign human emotion and string together complete sentences while being a generic white guy under the age of retirement, we're just lucky they haven't risen to the top yet, because we're kind of squeaking by already.
The openly racist fascists are weak little turds in reality.
Don't get complacent and remember to vote.
That disney thing made me feel a lot more comfortable. It feels like Trump would have his cult ralley and possibly hurt disney's valuation somehow. Everyone either laughed or tried to get people to look away. Competent fascist, indeed.
