Terminology is telling here. “Slitting a throat” is an act of murder and stealth, used to kill an unsuspecting victim with premeditation. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a presidential candidate use the term, although there’s been plenty of violent rhetoric over the years.

There a reason for that - it’s a coward’s way to kill. The fact that Ronnie drops it like it’s a normal fantasy of violence (like punching an asshole, or shooting an intruder) speaks to a deep, underlying pathology. This is a man who lionizes deceit and cruelty. I wouldn’t want him looking after my goldfish, much less my children or my country.

I was trying to figure out why that phrase felt very extra creepy and off putting. I think you nailed it.

While the thought of someone who eats pudding with their fingers up to the task of slitting throats by his lonesome is humorous at best, it’s the trogs in the back row who get their marching orders from their Rice Krispies gives me pause.

Why do all these pandering fascists assume the deep state is left-leaning? Dark money comes from conservatives who really only care about tax code.

The pandering fascists know that the deep state is not left leaning. They lie because gullible fascists who are pandered to will believe nearly anything negative about their enemies.

Fascists across the world attack institutions, because institutions enforce norms, and norms keep them from consolidating power. It’s one thing all fascist factions have in common.

Because, by definition, the Deep State is opposed to them. Republicans wouldn’t call dark money that because they know where it comes from, and it helps them.

I don’t understand how there’s no system in place to stop a governor from turning into a mini Hitler.

How is this guy allowed to run his state like this, and say these insane things? How is he allowed to run for president??? The US system is a fucking embarrassment.

Well because our DOJ won’t charge him or Abbott for trafficking migrants because somehow they’re immune to the law or something

About

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don’t punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

Rules

  1. Nazis and Putin sympathizers are not welcome here.

  2. The tolerant, open-minded and freedom-loving ARE welcome here. Glad to have you good people : )

  5. No Spam, Threats, Harassment or Doxing of any kind.
