Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Tim Walz warns that Trump may soon arrest political opponents and potentially groom one of his sons, likely Donald Jr., as a successor.
“It’s going to get very dark,” Walz told CNN, citing Trump’s defiance of a judge’s order on Venezuelan migrants and calls to impeach a federal judge as evidence of authoritarian tendencies.
He expressed concern that Democratic leaders underestimate Trump’s authoritarianism and public frustration with both parties.
Walz criticized Schumer’s handling of the GOP spending bill and questioned how Democrats will rebuild institutions damaged by Trump.
That Dems are more opposed to supporting an actual progressive candidate than they are to the current administration (if we can still call it that) is very telling.
The right had a vision, a story (a dark one but nonetheless). The dems platformed on nothing in particular. Obama won overwhelmingly on Hope and Change (only to squander much of it trying to cross the aisle). Having a vision makes all the difference.
