Hogan is a leftist, that’s why he’s doing everything to help the Demonrat party.

He’s already out in January. He’s all but endorsed the Demonrat running to succeed him rather than the Republican nominee.

From where I sit dems have most of the power right now. Other than tweet, whine and oppose the pubs aren’t limited in what they can do.

“Strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom”.

Maybe the Gov. needs a dictionary. Or to give some examples because I can’t think of any.

Or just stick with words he understands, like “orangemanbad”.

RINOs losing their grip on the party. They would rather lose than have America First Trump Republicans win.

Any time a politician begins a speech with "There is no question that......" means the subsequent words should be questioned.

If Hogan is “the best we can do in Maryland,” then I don’t want my state to be in union with Maryland. I don’t think that such a tenuous “union” will hold.

The democrats are the Communist Dictators and if they get the chance look out

Of course they are, and your warning is on the mark.

ANYONE who wants to take away the freedom of individuals in the name of a 'global' or 'universal' or 'common' good is an enemy of freedom and a mortal enemy of those who treasure their God given uniqueness and right to define themselves. These types of people are parasites who want to feed on the importance of individual souls in the world - and in so doing embellish their own perceived importance. Letting people like this suppress self-determinism and individualism will set the world back hundreds or even thousands of years.

These types of people

This guy is grossly uninformed.

The political scientist Juan Linz, in an influential 1964 work, An Authoritarian Regime: Spain, defined authoritarianism as possessing four qualities:

Limited political pluralism, is realized with constraints on the legislature, political parties and interest groups.

Political legitimacy is based upon appeals to emotion and identification of the regime as a necessary evil to combat “easily recognizable societal problems, such as underdevelopment or insurgency.”

Minimal political mobilization, and suppression of anti-regime activities.

Ill-defined executive powers, often vague and shifting extends the power of the executive.

This absolutely defines the democratic party.

Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting. Political scientists have created many typologies describing variations of authoritarian forms of government. Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military. But in all cases of authoritarianism, never within the scope of control of the voters (citizens). Always the government.

Did someone tell him what he was supposed to say before the broadcast or did they shuffle the Q cards?

Let me guess. Because republicans are against vaccine mandates and indefinite lockdowns, they are authoritarian.

Jan 2023 cannot come soon enough. I don’t want to hear from Homer Simpson (Larry Hogan) anymore.

There are no signs of intelligence in Gov. Hogan.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I’m going to do a quick study tomorrow on the unique psychological profile of people like Hogan, Cheney, and numerous other RINOs who have an irresistible compulsion to behave in a manner that normal people immediately recognize as mendacious. It certainly seems to be a mental disorder that’s especially common among politicians.
