      René Otero: I don't hate the man. Never will. I think he's a fantastic politician. But I don't think a fantastic politician is a compliment either.

    Scary!
    This is a very good expose of the indoctrination of future fascists in this country and the incubation of toxic masculinity. The only bright spots in this otherwise bleak peak at our future are Steven Garza and Rene Otero. They are two young men of integrity.
