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.

    Yeah this is the real problem - the Dems care WAY too much about seniority and ‘whose turn it is’. They care more about that than electability or messaging or, god forbid, formulating a platform that actually speaks to the average American that would inform all of the above.

    On voting day I’m going to hold my nose and vote for anyone that isn’t a fascist criminal. But I promised my leftist friends that the rest of the time I’m going to do what I can to push the Democratic party to actually represent us, and that’s what I intend to do.
