[Ocelot II]

1. Pompeo and Mnuchin are pretty much out of the picture.

TFG himself is probably the biggest (both in impact and actual mass) and the most dangerous, since a lot of lunatics still take him seriously.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. There is no "worst"-- all of them add up to a horrorshow.

[DBoon]

3. Steve Bannon

a well read an articulate fascist, who provides the intellectual underpinnings for all of the above

As well as all the other fascist intellectuals out there

[Mme. Defarge]

6. Oui!

C’est lui.

[rurallib]

15. My choice also

[Xolodno]

4. The one you don't know about. nt

[KentuckyWoman]

7. My vote too.

The names and faces we do not know are slithering in the dark doing whatever they please.

[MiniMe]

5. DeSantis and Abbott

[leftieNanner]

8. I voted for John Roberts

Because he puts a calm and sensible face to his fascist ideals.

But Mitch McConnell is using his evil power with great glee and zero hesitation.

So difficult to choose just one from this list.

[H2O Man]

9. Other

The "Oath Keepers" pose the greatest threat.

[stillcool]

10. I think it's one of those...

a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Any one...on their own, is garden variety asshole.

[Skittles]

11. DeSantis

the heir apparent to Trump

he is a huge threat to America

[Celerity]

12. Putin

He is the fascist straw that stirs the American white nationalist drink.

[totodeinhere]

13. What about Trump himself?

He is the leading contender for the 2024 Republican nomination. If he were elected in 2024 imagine the damage he could do.

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Need an "All of the sbove".

[turbinetree]

18. I ran out of choices, I should have put all the above

[irisblue]

16. #MoscowMitch will I think be remembered in history as a very effective Majority Leader

His evil genius in money control of the GOP Senators will be written in historical text books foreverm

[Johonny]

17. Rupert Murdoch

Let's face it, Rupert got vaccinated as soon as possible. It's not that he likes Trump, his supporters or even his own channel. The thing is, he loves money. Greed is the most dangerous extremism the country facing right now. Murdoch seems to not care at all how many get buried so long as his pundits feed the prols the propaganda they desperately need to feel whatever it is they feel.

[appalachiablue]

26. ++ Kochs, Mercers

[Progressive Jones]

19. They're all fucking cockroaches. nt

[Polybius]

21. Why would someone pick John Roberts?

He was legitimately appointed by a Republican, and doesn't even always vote their way.

[ShazzieB]

24. I don't get it, either.

Roberts is conservative, but he's not a RWNJ. His conservatism is more like what used to be mainstream conservatism (which barely exists in the GOP anymore).

Even now, I think it's possible to be conservative without being a full blown RWNJ.

[Initech]

22. Mike Lindell didn't make the list?

[Poiuyt]

23. I think Don Trump is still the most dangerous extremist

He may not have any concrete power anymore, but he still controls the Republican party to an extent never seen before. He has a huge microphone, and Republican lawmakers feel they must kiss his enormous ass or their political career would be over. He's got a very large percent of the country believing in a bunch of outright lies and a delusional universe. That's dangerous!

[jcmaine72]

25. If the insurrection of 1/6 taught us anything...

..it's that the run-of-mill Trump supporter is more than capable of committing extremist violence and acts of treason.

Most still fervently believe the dangerous and treasonous lie fed to them initially by Trump that the presidential election of 2020 was rigged and stolen. This toxic falsehood has since taken on a life of its own, producing an almost endless stream of conspiracy theories ranging from the laughably absurd to the batshit insane, all seemingly nourished daily and kept alive by the unctuous likes of Fox News and other far right media bullhorns.

In short, there are tens of millions of Americans who have been radicalized by Trump and his message of white supremacy who now pose a very real threat to our democracy and national security. President Biden correctly identifying these white supremacists as the greatest security threat to our nation has only seemed to radicalize them further.

One can only hope that the DOJ and FBI are on top of this and investigating as many of these potential time bombs and internal enemies as possible.
