Reply to comment by _Im_A_Five_Star_Man_ in George Santos proposed to teen boyfriend while still married to a woman: report by [deleted]

Remember that being comically absurd doesn't mean harmless.

Trump, despite being a walking TV Tropes page, was taken very seriously by his fans.

Yeah we got 4 Seasons Total Landscaping but we also had a legitimate coup attempt where they tried to assassinate the vice president to prevent an election being certified.

So like, yeah he's an absolutely absurd train wreck of a human being but he also walks the halls of power and lends his weight to fascists like Gaetz.

  1. He has 0 compunctions about saying or doing anything to get what he wants

  2. The most heinous of acts require a shameless psychopath to perpetrate

The exact thing that makes him such a clown is what makes him dangerous. Historically fascists started the same way: laughed at and mocked for being so absurd.

I'm not saying he's guaranteed to be the next Hitler, I'm just saying that being a buffoon does not make someone harmless. Psychopaths are dangerous. Psychopaths in power doubly so.
