Trump as a symbol is great--a well-deserved middle finger thrust into the faces of the Oligarchy. Trump, the man, is just a narcissistic oaf. Why people put so much faith in a man whose first and only thought is himself, is beyond me.

His time to act was after the fortified election. People rallied against the fraud, and Trump...went golfing. Then he led his supporters into the J6 trap. As far as I know, he has not lifted a finger to support them. Craven and loathesome behavior in the election's aftermath is what he should be remembered for. That and the poison shot that has killed and maimed tens of thousands...for now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only one who could see what was plain to see.

And backing up to the obviously orchestrated “stolen election”, where allegedly his VP could have not certified it - and “turned against him”. You then see Pence after all that, show up at the Liberty University Convocation - aka MAGA central - and Trump’s idiocracy supporters are silent.

They got all these sheep, both left and right, frantically running around the pasture, smashing their heads into the gates, stumbling back bewildered, with not a clue as to which way is up.

It’s amazing to see, but also very disheartening. Of course that is how you get them ready for the slaughter - complete disillusionment and demoralization. The sheep will do anything to make it stop, and they will be given that solution.

Problem, reaction, solution. Order out of chaos. And that is the hook - making Plato’s just society - imagining themselves to be God.
