I thought Jonah was writing or has written a book on Fascism.
What he is (almost) suggesting is exactly what many suggested in Germany in 1932.
People from all parts of the political spectrum suggested that it might be a good thing for the Nazis to win.
Their thinking was that once the Nazis got real responsibility they would become more responsible.
It didn't quite work out that way.
Some of these misguided types have voiced their hope that once the Democrats mess this country up to the point of collapse, somehow, the public will get on their knees to beg the "true conservatives" to come back and take charge.
Other than Totalitarian Rule, there is no possible way the people in this country would give up their dreams of, or the Democrat promise of a long lasting Utopia.
"It didn't quite work out that way.'
It sure didn't. The Nazis were defeated by a Republican presid--- Oh, wait a minute. Democrats were in office. And we haven't won a war since. The question isn't how to make democrats respectable, it's how to get them to join us in winning a truly existential war, the one on terror, not the one on drugs, you idiots.
With the press and half the country against us, we can't win it. Putting a dem in the White House with a republican Congress would have been a better deal, but President Bloat/Borders screwed that up. Now we're left with giving dems the whole ball of wax. Democrats or dhimmitude. Pick one.
