I mean, he's not not uniquely evil, but have you looked at the people around him? Your Spehen Millers, Tom Homans, and so on. There's evil alternatives.
It's not a coincidence that Stephen Miller and all these other evil fucks associate with one another. If Trump is just another bad politician we probably wouldn't notice that literally everything he does is evil and everything evil is connected to him also. Tell me, if he's just a symptom, which of the other US politicians is Putin friendly with? Certainly no Democrat I've heard of, at minimum.
You can play that same game with any dictator from around the world. They all love trump and you'd be hard pressed to find other US politicians they would publicly swoon over.
Look into Peter Thiel’s background. He’s a HUGE component of how we got to where we are now. Yes, Stephen Miller is a completely racist shitgoblin, but he’s “traditionally” heinous instead of Thiel’s “I’m going to forcefully restructure human society by using it against itself” heinous. Thiel honestly makes most of the rest of the appalling people involved in this regime look comparatively tame.
Thiel is a very weird freak. Not only does he associate with that weird little troll Curtis Yarvin, but he wrote the forward to a new edition (in 2020) of The Sovereign Individual.
These people are fucking weird. Democrats should really take up that mantra when talking about the enemies of the people. Walz started down that path and it was resonating, then someone reeled him in.
The reason the cons all try to make everything about trans is to try to paint their opposition as weird, when the reality is that the Republicans and conservatives are the real freaks here and they are just projecting again.
It was crazy - it was working, and then I guess the consultant class was like “oh wait, we don’t want to offend the fascists”. Like… what the actual fuck…?
