Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Tim Walz warns that Trump may soon arrest political opponents and potentially groom one of his sons, likely Donald Jr., as a successor.
“It’s going to get very dark,” Walz told CNN, citing Trump’s defiance of a judge’s order on Venezuelan migrants and calls to impeach a federal judge as evidence of authoritarian tendencies.
He expressed concern that Democratic leaders underestimate Trump’s authoritarianism and public frustration with both parties.
Walz criticized Schumer’s handling of the GOP spending bill and questioned how Democrats will rebuild institutions damaged by Trump.
Could trump be our hoover/Reagan and Walz end up being our Roosevelt/Gore?
History rhymes, but I’m not saying we’re gonna see ground breaking changes that bring the federal government back from the brink. Walz just seems like a possible candidate for garnering mass approval across the board and potentially unopposed enough to social programs to maybe implement some.
I find it odd that you equate Roosevelt and Gore? Is it because of his climate work?
Yeah, mostly. I understand they were politically very different. My main lense I was looking through in this case was progressive policy vs regressive policy.
