Tiedrich rant: "Trump's a fascist but I'm voting for him anyway" -- what the fuck is this bullshit



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/trumps-a-fascist-but-im-voting-for

the Washington Post interviewed sixteen former Trump administration officials to see if any of them had plans to campaign against their former boss, and oh my god, the results weren’t pretty.

here’s former Chief of Staff John Kelly:
Kelly, a retired four-star general, said he didn’t know what to do — or what he could do — to help people see it his way.


what unmitigated bullshit is this? Kelly doesn’t know what he could do? John, there is an entire ecosystem of cable and network news out there — CNN, MSNBC, Meet the Press, Face the Nation — who would book you in a hot fucking second to come onto their shows and tell the public the horrors you saw, first hand.

oh, but it’s so harrrrd to, complains John:
“I came out and told people the awful things he said about wounded soldiers, and it didn’t have half a day’s bounce.”


what’s this? you tried once, and then you went home? John, you’re a four star general. how about you act like one? is that what your Marine training taught you, to try once and give up? no — you go out in public, get your face on TV as often as you need to, hammer your message home until you get through to people.

that’s what you do if you care about your country. do you care, John?

Great rant against the former Chump Administration employees who saw everything up close and personal, and are too scared (or too stupid) to rat out their former boss.

MUST READ: At the end of today's blog, see Cassidy Hutchinson's answer when she was asked whether she's voting for Joe Biden next year. It will warm your heart. There's also a nice MSNBC video clip of her answer.

Thank you Jeff Tiedrich, and a hearty thanks to Cassidy Hutchinson!

Based on what happened in his first term, why would anybody want him for a 2nd term? FakeNoose Nov 2023 #3

As long as the dictator is Donald Trump, they don't oppose tyranny. They think that everything will go their way. But what if it doesn't? What if Trump, free of the confines of the law, betrays not only us but them? Of course that would be a moot question if Trump becomes a dictator.

It's the definition of madness that they'd even consider it.
