      Schrödinger’s Politician

      Trump himself was supposed to “drain the swamp” as he’s the only one “strong enough” to do it, but his own DOJ never brought charges against Hillary because they’re corrupt and “woke.” But also, Back the Blue fits in there somewhere.

      Their narrative is whatever sounds convenient for the 5 seconds it takes to get to the end of the sentence. There’s no coherent ideology that binds it all together, because it’s so self-contradictory that would be impossible.

      I think this is the time to bring up the Umberto Eco quote:

      “Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

      -Ur-Fascism, by Umberto Eco
