I watched the video itself. He barely mentioned it and it pretty obviously was one of his on-the-spot incoherent ramblings that he was just trying to form into a somewhat coherent thought. But the media and memes have been milking it for 3 days straight. That was a 1-day milk, 2-day at most. I’m sure he has done something moronic more recently, let’s move on.
Yeah man, a presidential candidate with a real chance of winning is telling his base that he’ll get rid of elections as president, and this is something that his biggest wealthiest supporters actually want him to do. Multibillion dollar right-wing think tanks that work directly with him are openly discussing how the “Democratic experiment” has failed, and that Washington should be “burned to save America”.
He checks off just about every other box on the fascism checklist too, including genocide…
But I would hate to overreact, so I’ll just pretend it didn’t happen.

Casual complacency when faced with actual dictator rhetoric? Bold strategy.

You end up with an authoritarian regime by saying things everybody already knows? I’ll be careful not to tell people that water is wet.
