(7,334 posts)16. Charisma of the dark kind only happens once a generation or so. TFG cannot be replaced
by ANY of the current crop of QANON GOP crazies. Like Hitler, Mao, Lenin and Napolean, he was/is an evil charismatic leader. The rest are Generic knock offs.
Muzzle TFG for good, lock him away, discredit him and the movement will be a chicken without a head for a bit...running around directionless, making lots of noise but overall dying.
Rubio, Cruz, DeSantis, Gaetz, Greene, Boebert, Hawley...NOT a ONE of these has the same charisma as TFG - unlike him, they COULD NOT shoot someone on 5th avenue and get away with it - someone WILL notice.
Smarter - yes. Charisma - Hell No.
TFG HAS to Go. The threat will still be there but at a much reduced level.
