As horrific as the Trump presidency was for the country, and as destructive as it was for my brain

imagining a Desantis/Huckabee presidency and the policies they could (and would) apply at a national level just shatters me

which is to say nothing of the national abortion ban Trump himself has already promised should he make it to a second term
it doesn't seem like there's an off-ramp back to the "idealistic" third-way-ism of the Obama-era

it's just always interesting that a party so enamored with concepts of traditional masculinity continues to rally behind the cattiest, most simpering candidates

even Bush was a loving simpleton, though he had the auspices of a "good ol' boy"
DeSantis is an ivy leaguer
his mannerisms reek of the same desperation as Hilary's southern drawl

What I'm getting from this is that you think abortion rights for Americans are more important than Libyans being sold into slavery after their country was bombed so hard it went from #1 or 2 most prosperous countries in Africa to a perpetual civil war.

The system is designed so that the only people who can make it to the top echelon of power are amoral sociopaths who will say or do anything if it helps them personally. A few manage to get to the US House but that's about it.

The real true believers get filtered out by years of fundraising. Every day they need to be able to call up an old money pater familias and talk about meeting them for yachting in the Hamptons then hang up and talk about going hunting at a lodge with a name so offensive it can't be printed in the newspapers with some good ol' boy bundler and then hang up and talk with a megachurch pastor about how they're gonna ban abortion and make all the kids pray the 10 commandments every morning after the pledge of allegiance then hang up and go have drinks with a bunch of ivy league poly sci nerds who might be your campaign staff, your opponent's campaign staff, or if the cards don't fall right you might be a staffer for them. Then rinse and repeat that every day for years to crawl up from local office to state office to federal office as they work the modern cursus honorum.

Presumably it's him rolling his Senate campaign war chest over to a presidential run so I'm sure it's a who's who of multinational corporations and people no one has ever heard of but whose names appeared in the Panama Papers.

Don't be silly, Trump will effortlessly make anyone in the GOP who challenges him look like a colossal idiot.

He won't be attacking them all equally. Some of them will be running to be his VP too.

Yeah, the vast majority of the no-hope campaigns are looking for either a VP nod or cabinet spots, though obviously they would prefer the nomination.

There's also the possibility that, even if they don't take Trump down, he might not be the nominee. He's 76 and looks like 300 lbs of melted butter poured into a Brioni suit. He could have a coronary tomorrow and it wouldn't be even a minor shock.

it's because there's no consistency to what 'masculinity' means to the right wing. is it the semen retention dudes? is it the raw beef diet weirdos? is it the idealized 1950s bread winner man? or is it the hollywood idea of the spartan warrior?

there's no agreed consensus

what does happen however is when there's a figure to rally around (trump) all those facets and aspects are projected onto them regardless what they are like in reality (remember trump complaining about hairspray and the coal miner crowds were hooting it up with him)

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

trump seems tired these days, very low energy, sad!
