Wanted: One manly macho tyrant to take over by force and tell us what to do

The mess has gotten so great the wingnuts are hoping for a strongman to march in and save them. Digby at Hullabaloo:

This is a psychological problem more than an ideology, perhaps even some sort of massive sexual identity crisis. When frustrated that they cannot convince the people to conform to their will, they simply force them. That is simple authoritarianism and it's become quite the rage on the right of late, (which is darkly amusing considering their years of railing against totalitarian communism.)

We are not going to hear the end of it for a while. Their failure so total, and the embarrassment so complete, that the yearning for a rightwing tyrant on a white horse is palpable. You hear things like this every day now:

When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can't help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup.

I guess that whole "they're evil and we're good and they hate us for our freedom" thing didn't work out.

Update: I did post about this earlier, btw.
