It's not about being afraid of him. It's about never giving the shit he stands for a chance to expand. Like Mike Pence is a fucking clown, but being one COVID death away from being president was scary (even though losing Trump would've been a huge win for the planet).
Yeah, but people seem to treat Cotton like he's special. I constantly see his name brought up as the likely candidate for 2024 (or 2028, back before the election) and I've seen lots of comments like, "We're lucky Trump is so dumb, next time it'll be a smart fascist, like Tom Cotton".

And I don't get why. The man is a complete snoozefest. He's Mirror Mirror Al Gore. He's not the kind of person who wins presidential elections.

"Panda hugger" really feels like some weird sinophobic slur he just came up with off the cuff and thought it was real clever. Cotton's been an idiot and a clown for a long time.

Aside from the blatant racism I appreciate this revisionism that Trump was somehow hard on china. After fawning over Xi for 2 years desperate for a new trade deal because Xi called Trump's tariff bullshit, Cotton -- who never reads Trump's tweets -- is now pretending that Trump's hard rhetoric in his tweets were his administration's policy.

That's such a dumbass hillbilly insult. Right up there with Kung Flu.

Honestly I think kung flu was way worse.

The implications of someone hugging a panda doesn't get you violently assaulted the way countless Asian Americans have in the US because of the implications of kung flu/China flu/etc.

It really is amazing Trump just has to send some mean tweets to appear he's tough on china when the trade deficit is worse than ever and since they handled the virus better they've basically increased their soft power.

Tom Cotton is like the #1 name that pops out of a racist name generator.

So did he say anything about Trump's Chinese bank account and paying of taxes to Chinese government? Or about Ivanka dealing with 18 trademark requests in China that got fast tracked? No?

Every time I see Tom Cotton's name all I can think of is that hilarious town hall he did a few years back where he got booed and heckled to hell by his constituents in Arkansas over health care (https://youtu.be/KyFa4FIcDo0).

Every time he opens his mouth and says something stupid and racist I just imagine that crowd replying. I thought he would get voted out ASAP being that hated tbh and I'm completely baffled he's still in politics and more visible than ever. Guy needs to be fed to a panda.
