The same White Nationalists who want to defend “freedom” and our “democracy” also have no problem appointing a king of America.
oof
“Forget the Constitution” – Party of the Constitution voter.
We got a inkling of this when a former President stated that dictatorship was cool as long as they were DICTATING IT

Absolutely wild that people feel comfortable saying that. What a shit show the right has become.
Nothing in the dark that wasn’t in the light my friend. It’s that the masks fell away and the limiters have be removed
At one time the far far right were powerless because that all thought they were alone. Trump helped them come out, find each other, join forces, and get a huge morale boost from the knowledge that they’re not alone.
It’s more than that. He wooed the folks who could take it or leave it
On Reddit, anyway, on conservative safe spaces with flair you’ll often see people self identifying as monarchists. It’s a nice way of saying “fascist dictatorship”. The leader would of course be psychologically identical to them in perpetuity, just because.
We don’t have kings, you kill-billy freak. If you want a dictatorship, move to a third-world country where you belong.
Hey if you guys are shopping round for a king…
Go home Prince Harry, you’re drunk. 😉
I wouldn’t wish Harry on anyone
Well, he does seem like he’s potentially inbred, so maybe he should be king?
A lot of free speech “alphas” sure seem to want to be ruled.
The true secret to (Alpha Males) is each and every one wants to be a subbie Omega to an even alphaer male.
Authoritarians literally believe that the only way to run things is to put a bully in charge of them. Not only don’t they believe in democracy or cooperation, they don’t believe in free speech or markets either.
(Markets are acceptable to an authoritarian only insofar as the bully in charge and his buddies are permitted to lie to, cheat, and steal from other market participants. It is strictly forbidden for other market participants to voluntarily organize to exclude the bully. Any form of organization that does not have a bully in charge of it is illicit to the authoritarian mindset.)
Yeah the real “alpha” types are more afraid of steamrolling people than coming off as weak. They know there’s nothing wrong with submissive and vulnerable folks.
Seriously, they just want a kind father figure who will take care of them. Trump pretending to be that is pretty cruel. There’s a whole lot more going on, but that’s the core of it.
Oh, the authoritarian right has some serious daddy issues alright…
It’s hilarious. They act all macho but what they really want is to be dominated by a man.
Reign over me Daddy
They embrace the darkness believing that they will escape their fate, little knowing that they will merely be disposed of LAST
Given the kind of infighting for power often seen in authoritarian countries, even that isn’t necessarily true

I somewhat get people thinking having a good king is better than a bunch of quibling politicians, but kings weren’t all powerful and the quibling politicians in their day were still the ones that actually ran the show.
And if you’re going to chose a king, why chose orange painted generic loudmouth manchild number 5322.
I find solace in the fact that 50 cents out of every dollar of his campaign money is being spent on legal fees at the moment. His main PAC had a balance of over 100 million and sank to under 5 million. This was all prior to the George charges, which I imagine is going to radically increase his legal exposure.
These people are systematically transferring hundreds of millions to the ultimate con man.
Who cares. They’ve been saying this shit for years at this point
Nobody tell the French.

He makes money off this behavior. Ignore. It’s the only thing these people can’t stand, including Trump.
Personality cult wants cult leader with unlimited power, more at 11.
Jesus these people are somehow navigating cognitive dissonance like it was the final frontier
1000% these people wishing for a king have a “don’t tread on me” flag.
The fuck is wrong with these people?
They spout moronic shit and are then handsomely rewarded by having articles written about them. Then they monetize the hate they spew.
So very much.
He’s a grifter. He doesn’t believe anything he’s saying, he’s just like the guy he’s pledging allegiance to. He’ll collect in some way, whether it is in royalties from views, speaking engagements, or whatever. He’s playing a character.
It doesn’t excuse him or his bullshit. But guaranteed this is a grift on the manipulated masses.
