(3,171 posts)Want a king. Perhaps shining light on where MAGATS want to go with this country might wake some folks up. Wishful thinking, Im sure.

(60,324 posts)Which is, of course, blatantly untrue. They act as if his win was as complete as FDR's, Nixon 1972 or Reagan 1980 when his percent of the popular vote was actually lower than Biden 2020.
Not only that, a far higher percent of California voted for Newsum, who Trump's administration thinks California needs to be liberated from.
So, this "king" idea and the Noem statement on California shows how little they really value elections and democracy. If there are many of these signs, I wonder if this could be their "defund the police'",

(4,580 posts)The new country of Israel set up a governmental system of judges elected by the different tribes of Israel. Then they chose a good judge, Samuel, to be the high judge. "And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over all Israel (they took bribes and perverted judgements). Then all the elders of Israel... came to Samuel and said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the other nations.... And Samuel prayed unto the Lord, and the Lord told Samuel to tell the people an important message: This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen...and to plow his ground and reap his harvest and make his instruments of war...and he will take your daughters to be his cooks and bakers...and you shall be his servants..." But the people refused to listen and said, Nay! We WILL have a king over us, that we may be like the other nations." God told Samuel that the people, in demanding a king, were rejecting God.

(11,911 posts)Talk about people who don't know their own history. The country was spawned by a deep repugnance of MONARCHY.
And now they want a corrupt clown as King?
You can't make this shit up.
Hey Joe
(55 posts)Such a large block of the voting population clamoring for an authoritarian regime to
tell them what to think, how they should feel, who to vote for, how to rationalize irrationality.
These people wish to give up their agency, their choice, their voice to someone so vaingloriously dumb and yet disgustingly narcissistic that they are only a set dressing for his gratuitous fever dream of domination.
Unfuckingbelievable we are experiencing this moment.
