But I'm going to let you in on a secret: the concept of "Political Strongmen" is incredibly misleading. The autocrats who put themselves into these positions of power are not actually people who are internally strong. They're merely people who are internally insane. It is their capacity for delusion that makes them hold so tightly to a false reality of power. Do you know how many drugs Hitler was taking to make him feel strong? Do you know how many days Putin spent in a bunker before he got the irrational idea to invade a sovereign nation? But it is true that, both, insanity & drug-induced insanity can make a person seem strong.

None of the broligarchs knows what they’re talking about. They’re just hot air, spewing what sounds smart to them but is actually a telltale sign of ignorance.

Hard to vote against anything Dan Bejar had a hand in but Deltron 3030 is in a class by itself. Kind of relieved I missed the voting window and didn't actually have to make this choice 😅😉

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now aren’t seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.
