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.

      It’s so frustrating. You don’t have to warn anybody, it’s already happening! You have to do something.

        Doing something requires courage, and the vast majority of our current Dems are feckless cowards. Most are content to hide behind their job descriptions and enjoy their free healthcare and when the time comes, deploy their golden parachutes.

      Yeah, we know. But I don’t think we’re exactly representative of the average voter. The lack of politicians coming out and saying this shit is alarming, and we need more of it.

        They are voting against OUR interests. They’re absolutely voting for their own. At least Schumer and the other Dems that passed the CR the other day
