Honestly, people in the "TV watching" demographic starting to become aware of what's happening, even the name "Sinclair" and how they are different from "TV" in a general sense, might be a little un-dangerous for our democracy.

This is one of the nice things about Trump running this whole thing, is that it'll all be done in a really stupid fashion and the people who are loyal to him in cringe inducing North Korea fashion aren't going to get renumerated in any way for their loyalty.

There is no upside to Trump's victory.

I think you underestimate how fucking stupid those people are. I think they'll stay unaware.

Even if they do clue in though, kind of too little too late.

Also, third Reich as farce is way more fun to watch. I bet the death camps are gonna be hilariously stupid. I'll be sure to paint some fun commentary on the walls with my blood.

Would you rather third Reich done by people who halfway know what they're doing? I will take blessings where they are available.

(Not that that makes it safe, people thought the early Nazis were hilarious idiots too. Hitler never got up before noon, Himmler was like the only guy in Germany who wasn't a veteran at that point in history, Goebbels was stumping around on his club foot talking about racial and genetic purity, and so on. As has been discussed, one of their early openly fascist moves was getting rid of a bunch of the hilariously accurate comedy that was constantly being aimed at them by the comedians of the day. They were just kind of weirdo dingbats until they weren't.)

I think if they halfway knew anything thry wouldn't be nazis.

Nice might not be the word I would have chosen, but I agree that it could be a whole lot worse if Trump and company were appointing competent people to do their bidding.
