So something that happens a lot in history is there is this yoyo effect of extremism.
Once one extremist is in power who inevitably fucks everyone, the people want an extremist on the other side.
Unfortunately it’s usually the exact same kind of person. The people think it will be different but it won’t.
Example. The French revolution begot Napoleon.
Lenin and subsequently Vyacheslav Molotov begot Joseph Stalin and now Putin.
It doesn’t always go bad like those two examples.
But it’s a product of how angry people get and how they want an extremist to punish the people who are responsible for disaster.
I myself feel like I want this.
I want the next president to hold so many people accountable.
What kind of person would that be ?
It’s a slippery slope. We could get a self righteous narcissist or someone who just wants justice.
It might be hard to tell which way someone is. (I’m sure I would know but I mean for the masses. Remember, many votes for Trump in the first place though I do believe there was election tampering tbh). Still.
I think Tucker and mtg are the bad versions. And I worry that they might win over people for their vocal opposition and promises of accountability.
It would be their best chance of moving up ranks to make that stance.
