Dictator or Dotard
Freedom of choice.
Freedom from choice.
Language is tricky.
It’s a syllable.
Just the one.
Couple of extra letters.
But it means we’ve got two options:
- A convicted felon and pathological liar bent on revenge
- A principled leader so diminished by time he needs someone to lead him off stage
I like having fewer choices.
Helps me work with my brain, not against it.
Think I’m ready to make an exception here.
Broaden the field.
Open the primaries back up.
Make politics interesting again.
Not in the Chinese way.
In a way that energizes the base.
The base that wants something other than tyranny.
Or at least tyranny on a less terrifying scale.
