Republicans had a nearly-guaranteed path to their version of fascism on a ~50 year time scale by following the W Bush playbook of being fascist and thoroughly lying that they weren't being fascist. The mainstream media and swing voter morons eat that shit up.

With Trump, it's much more blatant, so there's a chance the GOP's fascist power grab fails because Trump is so obvious about it. On the flip side, it's depressing to see how high the chance of GOP success is, even when Trump is ranting about being the next Hitler.

And that's why Haley is so dangerous. One of my progressive pundits I listened to says he'd begrudgingly accept a Haley presidency if it meant Trump went to jail as a consequence of us actually enforcing our Cons. as intended, and I can certainly sympathize because it's the ultimate enforcement of nobody being above the law and our founding document actually being useful, my only issue is Haley would also enact Project 2025 and she'd pardon Trump anyways.

Haley has youth and a "not so bad or extremist soccer mom" vibe, even though that's total bullshit, however for the general electorate I worry how much they'll be hoodwinked by her.

I certainly wouldn't want our country still being too sexist to make a woman POTUS to be what saves us from her presidency, but also damn do I not want her anywhere near the Oval Office.

Yes, Trump has put it all out in the open, and a big issue is people are associating that with Trump himself. They may be privy to what's going on with the GOP in the House, especially with recent news, however Haley isn't in the House and I worry that the common person doesn't realize that this Christo-fascist rot just is the modern Republican Party.

Though not progressives, I still hear other media figures refer to "the extremist minority" or "the crazy ones in the party", which seemingly gives cover to the rest of the party's awfulness. Nobody even knew who Mike Johnson was until he became Speaker and look at the disaster he's been. Dude was always a true-hearted Christo-fascist, and yet he was just in the background, which if he wasn't Speaker these media figures would still be obfuscating reality in regards to people like him; background House GOP members not making headlines.

They're going to do the same for Haley while constantly telling us how old Biden is and I don't trust the general public to not fall for it.
