My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

Dealing with failure is easy:
Work hard to improve.
Success is also easy to handle:
You've solved the wrong problem.
Work hard to improve.

It's the choice between NSDAP and Starship Troopers (Verhoeven's--embarrassed to say I have not read the novel yet). Well, perhaps proletarian revolution some day, but it's not likely to happen today or before WWIII imho (unless...). Yet, if I have to choose between the two, I would rather live in the Starship Troopers world of post-gender, post-race neoliberal fascism than the NSDAP world.
Perhaps our fren cannot see the difference between the two, because it's likely the Nazis won't come for him. Perhaps he's afraid the Starship Troopers fascists might come for him, because he might be white, male, heterosexual, and cisgender, and he does not understand that being middle class regardless of classification is enough to be safe in the Starship Troopers world.
With the Republican Party, personally for me at least, I'm hoping when they come for me to at least drag a few Nazis to hell, and they can take my cold, dead body to a concentration camp.

Yeah, that's the thing, everybody wants a warm and fuzzy NSDAP world, where they get eaten last.
And "revolution"? Please! Not unless the entire army leaves the emperor without even a button to push. Revolution means extermination. Success/failure is determined by which way the guns are pointed when the shooting stops.
