General Discussion

is an absolute shit (he's my senator). Josh Hawley is just as big a fascist as everyone else in the GOP.

I would not walk across the street to piss on Josh Hawley if he were on fire.

Josh Hawley just wants to take a different route to destroying democracy in the US. He is following the Orban plan rather than the ham-handed Putin approach. Hawley's plan is to "give" people things in order to keep them onside and to reduce the chance that people will resist the tearing down of democratic norms, judicial independence, and legislative balances.

This is why he supports a higher minimum wage and Medicaid. He'd rather get busy destroying democracy without people rioting in the streets. This is why he yammers on about the GOP being the "party of working Americans."

Josh Hawley is an asshole, a fascist, or any other invective you'd like to hurl at him. He just isn't as stupid as Dear Leader and the gang of ignorant sycophants who surround him.

Josh is just looking for a more ordered, technocratic means of erasing democracy.
