There's a worse leader than Zap Brannigan?
Yeah. President Warren, President Gabbard, President Cortez. President Pence, President Ryan, President Romney.
Biden and Buttikeig would not be worse, I don't think. They'd be a different flavor of bad. You're not electing a president in their case, you're electing a cabinet. Neither of those men have the authority to administrate. Biden because of his age, and Pete because of his youth. The office has some authority but only some. The man in the chair has to be able to enforce his will. It's not some abstract thing he has to be able to control his subordinates. It's a very personal thing.
That's why trump fires them about every 6 months. It takes them about that long to start to get unruly, so he just finds someone else.
Just because he's not the hero that you wanted doesn't mean he's the absolute worst. It's not binary. He doesn't have to be either the best or the worst. He's allowed to just be Trump. He's been a hoot channeling the spirit of Ronald Regan. And while he hasn't accomplished very much what he has managed to accomplish on the whole I see as positive. The ways that he's failed have also been useful. Congress passed a budget just to spite him, and there has been a reassertion that we will not use the military for domestic enforcement.
As an actual southerner though I don't mind so much that federal authority is starting to unravel. I doubt it sticks, I doubt it very much. We're in for a wave of authoritarianism. I can only HOPE that it comes from the right. On account of i'll be less likely to have my property confiscated and/or be killed, not because it's ideologically superior for some reason. It's not superior, but if that wave is coming I want to be on the side of it that doesn't get drown by it. I'd rather it didn't come at all... but I ain't got that kind of power.
You may think that's silly, they'd never actually DO all the dumb shit they're talking about. I think it's an actual possibility they would and I don't think the states are strong enough to stop it.
He's not the best possible option. But for the time being it's ok.
