    ‘Oh no, he almost faced consequences’ is such bizarre hand-wringing at this point.

    ‘His followers will be violent!’ There was a failed coup.

    ‘He’ll espouse violent rhetoric and the news will cover it!’ Where ya been?

    ‘He might be a martyr!’ He already said he’d be a dictator - just the tip, honey, just to see how it feels! What the fuck else are we worried about? These motherfuckers have a big stupid Powerpoint with a publicly-known title that outlines their authoritarian wet dream slash stated policy goals.

    Someone finally trying the obvious solution cannot be a catalyst if we’re already fucking catalyzed.
