The U.S. Supreme Court’s immunity decision has reportedly emboldened the presumptive GOP nominee to pursue his far-right agenda and authoritarian aims “without fear of punishment or restraint.”

    He did. And the low-level supporters i know who vote republiQan in their sleep don’t “believe” it means anything. It’s beyond me. I’m so fucking horrified we’re doing this AGAIN. For fuck’s sake.

      It’s not that they doing believe it. They want it. A sizable part of the US (and any country tbh) would prefer that there was a single person with all the authority

        They want daddy to take care of them.

        Effective Democracy requires an informed populace to make hard decisions (vote) about difficult and nuanced situations.

        Dictators tell everyone the problem is easy to fix and that they will fix it. Usually they find a scapegoat to blame.

        They are people who are frustrated by the complexity of real life and want someone to take care of everything for them.

      Oh, I figured most of them want a dictator because they believe the leopards won’t eat their faces.

        Only many of them. The rest are confusedly marching along and seig heiling.

          If they’re capable of not wanting a dictator, even if he’s on their “team,” there’s some hope, though once he’s in power it will be too late to do anything about it.
