If it’s Tuesday, it must be the fifteenth installment in the series inspired by the 1991 Duke-Edwards Gret Stet governor’s race. It’s been on hiatus for a month, but it’s back baby back.
A reminder of the unofficial slogan of the race from hell:
In 2024, we’re flipping that on its head and voting AGAINST the crook. It’s even more important.
This week, we take a look at the scariest thing about the Trump cult: He loves dictators and wants to be one. I covered this aspect of the 2024 campaign in a March post called Dictator Love but it can’t be said enough. In fact, the Kaiser of Chaos continually brags about it.
Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again. pic.twitter.com/DBGcBr3Wht

The gullible MSM accepts the lame excuses offered by Republicans. According to them he’s a jolly joker, a cutup, the funniest guy in an unintentionally funny party. If he’s kidding, why is he always praising dictators? Here’s why:
The Insult Comedian has dictator envy. He loves the idea of being able to snap his fingers and make an entire nation jump. He somehow thinks that the American people are ripe for authoritarian rule. It’s what happens when you’re surrounded by sycophants. He has some powerful sycophants including the six Justices who bought his absolute immunity shtick last month. He intends to take that shtick and beat the country with it.
Trump’s first dictator love was the ruthless Russian kleptocrat, Vladimir Putin. Trump loves the idea of kleptocracy because it enriches him and his followers while tempting others to follow him.
Trump’s dictator love has expanded to include Hungary’s Viktor Orban and the bloodthirsty pipsqueak who presides over the world’s most oppressive state, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
One 21st Century dictator is excluded from the Insult Comedian’s charmed circle, Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro who just stole an election with a combination of stealth and brute force. Trump’s thumb is down on Maduro not because he’s a leftist but because he’s one of the scapegoats of the 2020 election scam. He should regard Maduro as a role model instead.
The Kaiser of Chaos has a habit of saying the unspoken part out loud. It happened again last weekend but there’s plenty of evidence that, in this case, he means what he says. He may have disavowed Project 2025 but it’s the handiwork of some of his closest associates. It’s a blue print for dictatorship, which he claims to only want to be on the first day. That’s another lie: Power is his ideology.
Do I think Trump would end elections if returned to the White House? No, but he will end free and fair elections so he can roll up Putinesque margins. This is an easy pill for most GOPers to swallow: They’re all about limiting the franchise. As far as they’re concerned free and fair elections are for suckers and losers. Don’t be one.
Repeat after me: Vote against the crook, it’s important.
The last word goes to Randy Newman with a song about Trump’s role model:
