I expected to be offended and/or astonished by a ridiculously transparent bit of sanewashing here, but you know… I think I actually might agree.
It does seem to be a valid point - Gaetz is a grotesquely destructive demagogue and Trump sycophant, but he’s also a buffoon, and that’s undoubtedly better than a grotesquely destructive demagogue and Trump sycophant who’s also a smart and devious and highly skilled politician.
I mean, it also forced him to resign from Congress and he’s also unlikely to survive the confirmation process, especially if the ethics report is released…
This logic is going to keep getting trotted out throughout the trump presidency. In some cases it’ll be true. In this case I think it could be. In many cases it won’t be , simply because destroying things is easier than building things and they’re mostly there to destroy .

Huh…
It’s a bit like the logic of why Trump may be better than De’Satan, he’s a reckless destructive arse, but at least he’s stupid too.
Problem is though now they have a pile of people behind that 2025 doc to make up for their own lack of knowledge…

Either way, that’s a good outcome I suppose.
