    The Washington Times has an extreme right editorial bias, but it’s interesting they are covering this.

      I believe that’s because the extreme right views this comparison as a good thing.

          I believe they are pointing out that, despite the fact that this is being done by a group that is trying to make Trump look bad, it will be viewed as making him look good to those on the far right. They like dictators so long as they’re part of the in-group.

            Thinking you’re part of the GOP in group is some real magical thinking. I bet there is a real coalition of wealthy people that stand to benefit from a GOP dictatorship. I bet it is 10000-20000 people max. That leaves the millions of “temporarily disenfranchised GOP oligarchs” that are signing their rights away.

              Thinking you’re part of the GOP in group is some real magical thinking.

              Especially considering the Washington Times is owned by the Unification Church, which is a Korean religion with a Korean founder who is worshipped as a god.

              Republicans are happy to bow and scrape for the Moonies when they need their support, but there’s no chance they’re giving non-white people a seat at the table as soon as they have the ability to kick them out.

                I had no idea that the Moonies owned this paper. That should completely deligitimize it to just about everyone.
