“We have never needed to emulate a Xi, a Putin, or a Franco, and we should have the confidence to reject those who say that we do.”
We should be so lucky. Instead, our dictator comes in the form of Trump! He’s not just a despicable fascist, he’ll most likely bankrupt this nation within a year!
IMO there's a huge difference between Piker and Trump: one is the leader of a nation, one is a pocaster with limits to his reach. Piker has a grasp of irony, Trump does not. Piker had a flag, which he may be displaying ironically. Trump has pictures of himself with Putin and Kim, one of whom is an actual Communist dictator of the worst kind, and neither picture is displayed ironically. Piker is definitely no Mencken. Trump, however, would love to be like Kim. Piker is far less a threat than Trump, who is a clear and present threat. The comparison between the two is like apples and Liddle Kiddles.

Trump embraces right wing dictators like Putin and now Communists like Kim Jong Un. He’s not fussy.

Для деспота нужна команда садистов, а не команда подхалимов
