There is a Dallas Morning News paywalled article out this morning on how Ken Paxton is calling the 2020 election an “overthrow” of the system. Ken Paxton is the attorney general of the HUGE state of Texas. How on earth is he even elected? I mean I know he is one of the key Team Trump members, and that he is no doubt running for attorney general for Trump 2024, but really Texas thinks that’s normal? Paxton is up for election again in 2022 and he will have a HUGE anti-Trump target on his back as he is so deep up Trump’s ass.
It’s not an overthrow, for all the obvious reasons. But this man is in charge of the Texas legal enforcement system and he believes that? We may be lost, truly, if these Trumpies don’t start to lose elections this year and next. I’m not talking about most republicans either. Some of these Team Trump republicans aren’t really truly on Team Trump. They are just saying what they absolutely need to say to mollify his (and their) base.
But Paxton is another level, like MJT or Ron Johnson. These people represent the authoritarian threat in America. I’m pretty confident all of these people look at Xi Jingping or Vladimir Putin with respect, and are willing to embrace Trump because they will be rewarded in the next Trump administration/dictatorship.
