(with affection and respect, to Gilbert)
31 May 2023 — I may as well just declare my support for “Worse-than-Hitler” now, since my remaining leftie friends (and surviving leftie relatives) will simply assume again that that’s my position.
correspondent Jinivjot Jut suggests that I’ve “always been a fake.”
Maybe, but if I were, I’d hardly admit it. The thing is, I don’t know yet whom “Worse-than-Hitler” might be, but I am confident that once he is selected, leftie loons will long for the days of “sensible” Republicans like Dubya or Ronald Ray-gunzzzzzzzzah!
correspondent BA has “to laugh. You don’t fit the profile of a typical “Worse-than-Hitler” supporter. They are nearly all authoritarians, whether the aggressive Proud Boy types or passive followers. And if you’re longing for ‘sensible’ Republicans, you’ll have to look back way past Ronzo to Ike or maybe Taft.”
Taft certainly. And Coolidge. (And Goldwater was fun, but erratic.) Otherwise, they’re mainly frauds, including Ike. Somehow many statists conflate anarchists with authoritarians, as many mystics conflate atheists with satanists. After all, aren’t we all just “extremists” anyway? And in fact, because of the criteria we’ve just delineated, YOU fit the profile (from their corrupt perspective) of the same “radical” type. Ron Paul and Harry Browne et al were all “Worse-than-Hitler” each in their own times. Multiple campus meetings and county fair type outreach events have shown me just how deep and enduring is the fear and hatred of libertarians, whether they use a Libertutionist or a Demoblican party vehicle.
Golly, I wouldn’t be surprised if RFK2 were deemed “Worse-than-Hitler” as he also challenges orthodoxy AND the war machine (aka “the MIC,” the “Deep State,” or “Blue Anon.”) But as a peacenik coward I expect I’ll be requesting a Democrat ballot in my state’s open primary. That’ll make three in a row! Not bad for “Worse-than-Hitler.”
