Large numbers of Americans want a strong, rough, anti-democratic leader
The Conversation ^ | 12/30/2023 | by Tarah Williams, Andrew Bloeser, and Brian Harward

It might be comforting to think that American democracy has made it past the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. But our research shows that a wide range of the American people, of all political stripes, seek leaders who are fundamentally anti-democratic.

It’s true that many who participated in the insurrection are facing consequences, including prison time. Many candidates for state office who falsely claimed that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election lost their races. And the congressional committee investigating the insurrection voted to refer Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal charges.

But more than 100 members of Congress who objected to the results of a free and fair election won their reelection campaigns. And at least seven people who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6 have been elected to state legislatures and two have been elected to Congress.

Let's leave aside the false narrative that these 'professors' start with, that the 2020 Steal wasn't fact, and that Jan 6 was an 'insurrection'.

Let's even leave aside the fact that, of course, we want an 'anti-democratic' president.... and that we would prefer a 'pro-republic' president.

Leaving those aside, yeah, I want a strong leader. I want one in the mold of Augustus Pinochet. I want free helicopter rides for all liberals.

I wish it were true. Because it’s be the best and quickest way to get rid of the Democrat party and their media networks.

Personally, I’m tired of Pedo Joe Griswald and his Holiday Road Vacation administration. He’s down celebrating with the St. Croix Virgin Caribbeaners while his two pixies, Blinkey and Al Maracas are down in Mexico being outgunned by El Presidente Obrador about Bidenskyyyyy wanting to take over his border.

No. I don’t want ANY ‘leaders’. I don’t need to be lead. Anyone in elected office should be considered an employee. Nothing more.

Pinochet saved Chile.

He was not a socialist or fascist. He left Chilean Civil Society intact. The Church, unions, social organizations, business, universities, sports organizations, boy scouts, etc. etc... were left to run independently free of government influence.

As opposed to a demented, brain addled, anti-democratic leader?

My wife just asked me what was wrong, why was I throwing up? “It’s Laz,” I said, “He forgot to add a Barf Alert, and those commies just made me sick before I could quit reading.”

Laz, thanks for posting this horrid screed to alert us, but please, think of us with weak stomachs. This stuff stinks worse than gutting a feral hog.
