    No, not Pence. Pence has negative Charisma, even for die-hard Republicans. And his reliance on Mother is highly suspicious.

    No, what we need as a Supreme Ruler is someone without a lot of baggage, who has charisma and is also very intelligent, and able to cultivate blind loyalty in competent people. That last is super important, because an Evil Overlord can't do diddly-squat all by himself. (Or herself.) An Evil Overlord needs competent minions.

    No, I certainly don't want an Evil Overlord. But it's an even bet that we've now arrived at the historical stage where we are going to get one at some point. I'm speculating 2024 or 2028. These things take time to gel.

    We are merely speculating on who that Evil Overlord might be. My personal position is that if we are going to have one, then I'd like them, at least, to know what the fark they were doing.

    The problems with Trump as Evil Overlord are that: 1) he is not smart enough; 2) he selects minions for blind loyalty rather than blind loyalty AND competence; and 3) stabs them in the back at first opportunity. (Point 3 is why he fails at point 2, as competent people know enough to resist his overtures.)

    I'd say it might be the well-hidden Stephen Miller, but I think he is actually a lightweight pretending he's a heavyweight, and one requirement (at least in my book) for an Evil Overlord is that they NOT be hidden.

    How about an article that doesn't require people to have to go through those gyrations? A quote or two from the article would give most readers a good idea what it says.

    Because....??????

    I'm sure you have rational, well-thought-out reasons for your opinion. I would be interested in hearing them.
