I think we are close to the "Let them eat cake" moment. The damage from this madness is unfolding. It is going to be awful.

I guess it is always going to be this way. The people who are so passionate about how unfair things are seem to select one of the perpetrators of that unfairness to lead them. To say it is counterintuitive is to be too kind. It is just fucking stupid.

I like to imagine that it did not have to be this way, Bill. The current and coming unnecessary cruelties and stupidity are definitely something that could easily have been avoided but for the cowardice of those who insisted on continuing to pretend the USA's systems of power weren't utterly broken.

Now we have a human shit bag as our leader for the second time, and this go round is going to be orders of magnitude more evil.
