It’s because they assume some absolute power holder already exists and it’s not their one, but black, jewish, deep state etc, so they want their own. The actual weakness of Democrats not holding 100% of all offices is probably the go-to talking point when trying to deprogram vulnerable believers of said conspiracies.
I keep saying I think no cons should be allowed to hold any office, and this is pretty much why. Despite all their rhetoric about “patriotism”, and “freedom” and “but mah Constitution”, they don’t really care about any of that. They don’t want freedom and they don’t respect rule of law - except to have freedom only for themselves and those they deem worthy.
They are elitist to the core, but then declare ideas related to doing anything about climate change (and thus disrupt assumptions about fossil fuel usage and the Standard American Diet) as “elitist”. They twist meanings of words to mean entirely different things from what normal Americans understand those terms to mean.
We cannot overstate how “well someone’s gotta be king” is the entire thrust of conservatism. It’s a worldview defined solely through interpersonal loyalty, and it ends at one guy who must be the smartest and best and handsomest, or else he wouldn’t be in charge of everything. The rest is just shuffling cards to justify whatever he says is true today.
They think that’s all you’re doing. They think that’s all there is.
Yeah, no kidding. That is the entire thing for the conservative movement.
