Next up, Vichy France and Spain post-Franco are examples.

“Better Hitler than Blum”?

Hmmm…

I recall THIS; they don’t mention it. 🤔😏

Back to the piece!

Important (and sobering) caveat — notice that the king had to intervene. Nevertheless, democracy prevailed. 🙄🤔

Zib/Lev continue on, noting that the GQP has already fucked up grossly (presuming they still want democracy, which they don’t) by the following —

1) Didn’t accept Biden won
2) Didn’t all vote to impeach cuz 1/6
3) Only 2 Rs with Ds to form ind. comm.
4) All but Asa and CC say will vote Don

Noting for the record that both Asa and CC are formers and not running in any current election other than prez. Must also say Rs did a similar dance in ‘15/‘16. We’ll see come nom time.

After writing about the failed Jair coup and the Brazil government banning his ass, Lev/Zib sum it up — with the final line a reminder…

Repeating for (obvious) emphasis:

"Republican leaders' acquiescence to Mr. Trump's authoritarianism is neither inevitable not unavoidable. It is a choice."

I'm pretty sure that the Republicans made their choice, bros.

Assuming here that Lev/Zib are trying to politely smack those of "us" with the realization that the GOP is gone, baby...gone.

Time for ALL to wake up.

@InUnfunky And yet they remain in the US. Siri, define stupidity, please.

@InUnfunky You have to want democracy to get democracy.

@sfleetucker

EXACTLY. They know what they’re doing.

@InUnfunky

Like I said yesterday, this is all pointless, performative nonsense. None of these other "candidates" stands the chance of a snowflake in a hot bath.

It's going to be Trump versus Biden next year, pick your fighter.

@InUnfunky Home-run. That nails it.

@InUnfunky
Actually, I'd rather they were too.
