All Republicans are perfectly happy with the idea of having a (Christo-)fascist dictatorship in power in the U.S. . All that they care about is that the dictatorship rewards them with money and power. I know Republicans like this, people you might think were just ordinary folks, and they’re masters of telling themselves stories to justify their violence and thievery and masters at not seeing anything that might cause cognitive dissonance, to the extent that they’re capable of that at all.
I have it on the authority of someone who totally hates this guy’s guts that he was joking.
Even if it were true that he was joking, everyone attending or watching the event collectively have no more than a single handful of brain cells and will take everything at face value, or their best guess at face value because they are all dipshit idiots.
Oh, I’m certain he was perfectly serious.
Fascists always try to inhabit the “only joking” zone right up until the day they’re deadly serious.
