What do Authoritarians do when they can no longer Authoritate, the author of this piece asks. He or she provides his or her own answer. From Skinny at theburningplatform.com:
There has been a great deal of thought put into what will happen when things get back to normal. We can go to work again, take in a ball game, play golf or tennis, take the kids to the park, all good things. Well, almost all good things. It’s time we start to think of the losers who will be created when all this ends. The soon to be marginalized, the left out, the ignored, yes, the politicians. I’m not talking about our Tweeter in Chief; good luck ignoring him. Love him, hate him, makes no difference.
Our non-stop 24 hour news cycle will insure that he is never ignored. No, I am talking about our lesser Trumps. The governors and mayors who occupy our time between White House daily briefings. Who is going to watch Coffee with Cuomo when all he has to talk about is transgender bathrooms in the Capitol Building? Or Bill DiBlasio ramble on about new bike lanes or how people of color are underrepresented in the albino community.
