If the draw of authoritarianism is a "strong man"

[cilla4progress]

Wouldn't it behoove more Dems to act like Fetterman, Booker, Ryan, Waters, Schatz, Stabenow, even Biden, Harris, Pelosi, at times: assholish?

People are scared and confused for a multitude of reasons. Looking for someone to lead them out of this multi-leveled hell.

Maybe Dems need to get in touch with and/or display their fuck 'em all side (directed of course at appropriate "thems" ) to garner support?

1. I think in this country being like a bully who will own the libs is what Rethugians want.

[cilla4progress]

2. Yes, my point.

More bullying, less equivocating.

3. I think there is a big difference between a strong man and a leader.

A leader can still possess many of the assertive qualities.

We need a leader. I'd go as far as to say Fetterman seems to have a leaders mentality with the look of a strongman. Guy is knocking it out of the park perception-wise.

4. I'm sorry, but -

Waters, Stabenow, Harris, Pelosi...??

Or do you mean a different conversation?

On edit: deleted, I see... 👍🏾

5. My most sincere apologies.

I had actually planned on elaborating about that. I think there is a great opening for a conversation.

I took a phone call and his post without thinking. Deleted that sentence quickly. It was not to be a stand alone sentence.

I appreciate your recognition of the deletion and sorry I posted as I did. Should have waited until my call was over.

6. We need to tap into people's emotions.

That’s how Republicans win with their culture war bullshit.

7. But They Aren't 'strong'

they are egomanical narcissist bullies who yell and throw temper tantrums.
