    Anyone who is president is already the most powerful being in history up to that point. The point of this whole initiative is making room in the dialogue for naked totalitarianism.

    The article makes it sound like he’s already President or something, and no, he won’t be.

        Yeah. The last time I saw such hubris, it had to be shot in the chest as it tried to climb through a window to prevent the certification of the 2020 election.

        The government (and the electorate) needs to do many things right to prevent Cheeto or a Cheeto Analogue from sending the US into abject totalitarian misery, and there’s not a great deal of evidence that will happen.
