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".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).
"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.
That's such a dumbass hillbilly insult. Right up there with Kung Flu.
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.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, Cotton -- who never reads Trump's tweets -- is now pretending that Trump's hard rhetoric in his tweets were his administration's policy.
yup this guy is also a complete tool. Well lot of republican senators are.
Yeah. At least we can work on other things for the next few years.I wonder how much of this reflects the electorate. Maybe they just want a more outwardly tyrannical Mike Pence?
2024 primaries here we come, I guess. Just won't know til then.
