"....Indeed, if one were inclined to worry, this current manifestation of legal nihilism, maximalism and nullification are far more dangerous than the version we learned to live with for the past four years, because this new one is now operating separate and apart from Trump. We don’t have to wait to see what happens when Josh Hawley or Tom Cotton runs as a “competent” authoritarian in 2024. Even without a formal figurehead, competent authoritarianism is seeping up from below. It’s coming from Trump supporters who deny the legitimacy of the election, state officials who are pushing false claims, lawyers making laughable arguments. Trump is almost immaterial to them. The real problem is the emboldened Trumpists who refuse to give over, and Ben Sasse and Mitt Romney notwithstanding, that behavior goes from the people who attend the MAGA rallies all the way up to the top of the GOP"

I really doubt that.
It is SOOOO true.
Trump never was the problem. The left’s bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome was the problem.
It’ll take a Seven Nation Army to hold us back!
Fine with it? They've been PRAYING for it every day Trump has been president. He is their worst nightmare. And we must be extinguished or brought back in line.
Hawley an authoritarian? Only because he wants to limit the authority of the government over the elected and the populace.
I am a soldier of TRUMP army...
Reading this I’m reminded of the meme of Trump saying, it’s not me, it’s you; I’m just in the way. I hope we are a problem for them and their ideas. I hope we’re a bigger problem than even Dahlia imagines.
The author is NOT EVEN AN AMERICAN! “Canadian citizen”!!!
Ahhh, the deplorables strike again.
Yes, how dare we refuse to roll over for fraud?
I don’t call myself a conservative any more. William Kristol is a conservative. I’m for the people, against the tyranny to come, against interventionism but for the defense. For the decentralizing of government and the return to the people of power over their own lives. Call that whatever you may.
Meanwhile, Larry Hogan is an ACTUAL authoritarian angling for 2024. Will they disparage him as well?
I call myself now an Economic Nationalist.
The movement is growing by the day, and pissed, and armed.
Damn right we are.
“Everyone must think the same. It is the only way to save the world.”
“Who decides what everyone should think?”
“Why, me, of course.”
“What if you’re wrong?”
“Off to the camps with you, you Conservative!”
The left has great fear all their lies and dirty tricks failed the brain washing media failed they have nothing left.
They failed with the election lost seats in congress didn’t take the senate fail is the norm for them.
All the next elections will be a blood bath for them they failed to gain all the power needed to control the country.
we learned to live with for the past four year. That is the funniest thing I have read all day.
Bill Kristol is a neoconservative — interventionist, warmonger, empire builder.
