Is this suggesting that Mr D Trump is not superior? It's established. We've heard it from himself. His wall is superior, Mr Pelosi's wall is inferior. Aquascoot knows.
Aquascoot's problem is that he doesn't know what he wants. The Superior Man bounces out of bed with a plan?
Aquascoot thrashes between two reactionary extremes. One minute he's the authoritarian, steady at the wheel, command and control. Next minute he's an anarchist, plotting to blow the whole lot up. One minute he's preaching the benefits of capitalism, the next he wants to tear the whole thing down. You can see where this is going, right?
To occupy such a frantic state of mind, you need Dear Leader, who must be obeyed. Dear Leader is all things to all men, women and children. He smites our enemies, he heals our wounds. Dear Leader can never do anything wrong, ever.
Fascism. Hitler called it the overwhelming desire to obey. People
want leaders like this, they
want to be controlled. It saves them the trouble of thinking for themselves, even if they have to peddle extra hard to join all the dots and work out the script.
Aquascoot had a moment of doubt there for a sec. He experimented with Ron Desanctis in the big fella's seat. We told him it would never float. In the end, Aquascoot went back to the Don, as you do.
The problem with this mindset is that it inevitably ends in a tussle. The Trump administration saw Jan 6, which was nothing to compared to what the Germans went through in 1945. Perhaps Jan 6 was just the Beer Hall Putsch, but the base were armed and ready. They'd recieved orders - stand back, and stand by. Some wore this on T-shirts.
Aquascoot's political instincts lead to one place only: total war. This is the telos of Fascism, it's true expression. Hitler and Mussolini both acknowledged this. No matter what Aquascoot's Dear Leader says about peace, blood and fire lies dormant in his means of political expression, his will to power.
Donnie was going to be a wartime president, remember? America was at war, you see, with illegal immigrants. You know, they're rapists, murderers, they bring in drugs and some, I assume, are good people...
A wartime president. I like that, he said. It sounds cool, don't you think? Like Winston Churchill.
An heir to a real estate fortune who'd been chauffeur-driven to school as a child thought it would be cool to be a wartime president. He really said that, he really did it, and he's trying to do it again.
It starts with calling for shoplifters to be shot. It ends in the Berlin bunkers. We can save ourselves a lot of time if we just call out the bullsh
it to begin with.
