It's because all these incompetent, unqualified TV personalities-turned political leaders live in the fantasy land of make-believe Reality entertainment.

2 things are essential for dictators:
Control the narrative
Unarmed citizens, military/police state

1A rights are currently under attack
Next up 2A - will MAGA 'lay down their arms' for Trump?

NRA/GOP hype of 'they're coming for your guns' is prophecy and 'weaponization of the DOJ' is reality

There's a lot of repair to do after the dictatorship falls. The fantasy that this could never happen in America remains our greatest vulnerability.

It happened under his watch.

As CiC, it was his decision, and his alone to call Nat Guard troops there.
He appointed all the agency heads at DoD, DHS, Domestic Terrorism (22 yo with no experience), FBI and CIA responsible for keeping troops safe.

Complete and utter unnecessary failure.

Just like Senator Rick Scott is 'qualified' to oversee fraud in Medicaid/Medicare because he had experience in defrauding the government when he lead a healthcare company which paid out a huge financial settlement.

If part of those 'qualifications' include extreme partisanship, willingness to bend/break the rules, and proximity to corruption...then yes, Bondi is 'qualified'

When your mantra is "I'd rather be pretty than smart" then go out and prove it
