LOL, Palmer’s hands are twice the size as Trumpys despite being 8" shorter.

“He’s too dumb to be a fascist” is about as stupid of a sentence as is possible to utter. :man_facepalming:

The entire ideology boils down to “force is good, let’s use it against people we hate”. Trump is a racist thug – that’s enough. But of course Bolton is bloodthirsty authoritarian himself, so he’d like to pretend it’s some kind of intellectual thing. Hopefully he can discuss it with Kissinger soon. :fu:

How fascists got the reputation for the being master tacticians I’ll never know… it’s always just as you say… it’s bullying as a political program.

Biden has a shitty debate and everybody from the media down to prominent Democrats tripped over themselves trying to bully Biden into dropping out of the race by questioning his competence.

Trump says at least 20 disqualifying things a day and nobody says a god damn thing to question his competence. It’s just infuriating.

JFC this. Bolton has already said he won’t vote for Trump (or Harris, so he can fuck off) but this “oh he says these things but isn’t capable of doing them” is straight up 2015 levels of thinking. Everybody should know by now that he means what he says.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a fucking duck

It doesn’t matter if the duck knows it’s a duck or not.

It’s also completely disingenuous, since Bolton surely knows that the purpose of Project 2025 is to do the tedious nuts and bolts work of building a dictatorship for Trump. The founders of Project 2025 know that Trump doesn’t have the brains or the patience to do it himself, so they have stepped forward to do it for him.

Trump is disposable to the far right big dollar club. He could die after the election and it wouldn’t matter to them. It might even be preferable; they have a very compliant replacement. Or they wait a little and get rid of the whole system and take over directly.

I doubt it would be temporary

Temporary on a cosmic time scale, maybe. The damage Trump has done and would do again will be insignificant by the time our sun expands and consumes Earth. Knowing Musk’s arrogance and sci-fi fantasizing, he probably assumes he’ll have his mind uploaded into a computer or something and be around to see it. Meanwhile, in terms of actual human beings living in the real world, Trump’s damage is essentially permanent, in as much as it won’t be getting undone within our lifetimes. That’s already true after just one Trump administration, and now they want to double down on it, just to make absolutely sure that no matter how much things turn around in the future, we’ll all die in an objectively worse world than the one we were born into.

He means temporary to his net worth. He doesn’t care about people or the world or even the parts of civilization that give his net worth meaning. Oligarchs are hoarding nihilists and they need to have society taken back from them too.
