So he willingly runs into the arms of right-wing authoritarianism.
At the end of the day, authoritarianism all looks fairly alike in practice. So he may get to experience a taste what he’s long feared (just the Nazi variety, not the Communist variety). So it’s almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy, attracting what you most fear and all that.

But that “woke” stuff is far better than the darkness that’s brewing here in the US, especially here in the South. People are embracing Fascism, full-throated, here. I want out.
