I do not fear Donny;
Crucially, ¿what has he done to be feared for?
¿Deporting illegal aliens? That's a fear they already had. ¿Bombing our enemies? Again, already a fear (BUSH JR. appears to have been contemplating a campaign on Iran too, but thatvwas stalled by Iran's invasion of Iraq).
There are some who would hate him no matter what he did; On the morning of his inauguration there were violent riots, or as they called "peaceful protests," before he'd even arrived at the podium to be sworn in.
Make sure you get that severance check in € because those ﷼ you’re used to aren’t worth the paper they’re written on anymore New Republic; Your satan worshipping Master aren’t going to see 2Ø27, slave.
Machiavelli wrote that it is safer to be feared than loved. He argues that fear is more reliable than love, which is fickle, but crucially advises that a leader must avoid being hated. https://trib.al/IA7paBi
Donald Trump has had success with this model inside the United States, to be sure. He is loved by a few, hated by many, and feared by all.
Institutions routinely cave to his demands, including individuals, corporations, law firms, hospitals, and universities, even when those demands violate state or federal law.
The Republican Party has become the Party of Trump, where the organizational platform is whatever Trump says it is today. Indeed, Republicans are so afraid of Trump that they have all united around unrealities, like January 6 being a peaceful protest.
To paraphrase George Orwell, “The president told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was his final, most essential command.”
Trump, however, does not have such leverage over people living in other countries, or their leaders. Behind his back, world leaders reportedly consider the U.S. president a “laughing fool” and a buffoon.
