Paul LePage is Still Out There Saying Things

Written by SK Ashby

Maine Governor Paul LePage, the man who recently said people of color are "the enemy" and need to be shot, spoke to local radio station WVOM and said the authoritarianism of Donald Trump may be exactly what America needs.

"Sometimes I wonder that our Constitution is not only broken, but we need a Donald Trump to show some authoritarian power in our country and bring back the rule of law because we've had eight years of a president — he's an autocrat, he just does it on his own, he ignores Congress and every single day, we're slipping into anarchy. I just think that four more years of a similar mentality is going to destroy this nation."

Aside from the obvious fact that Paul LePage is an insane person who's openly calling for authoritarian rule, you may have also noticed that what he said is completely incoherent.

LePage says we need "some authoritarian power" to bring back "the rule of law" and restore the "broken" Constitution, which is a contradiction, and then he says President Obama is an "autocrat" who ignores Congress, you know, like an authoritarian would. LePage says four more years of President Obama's authoritarian rule will destroy the nation, and the only cure is four years of Donald Trump's authoritarian rule.

Paul LePage is a profoundly stupid, racist moron. Just completely fucking idiotic.
