Resistance

Following the disgrace that befell us all at Davos, let us be clear-eyed about this. We are now beyond parody. Beyond satire. This is neither drift nor decline. This is the most unqualified and ignorant president in American history by design. First he creates a crisis, then he TACOs, and now we await the toddler-tantrum.

It is no accident that he is bigoted. Uninformed. Sexist. Xenophobic. Simply wrong. He is the embodiment of his support: the resentment, self-hatred, victimhood, rage, bullying and yet also delight of ‘his people’. Perhaps you, the MAGA moron who is perversely proud that you are endangering yourselves, your neighbors, and the world. That he is a man with the intellectual and emotional maturity of a toddler, mentally ill, a pathological liar who lies even about his own lies, is the desired outcome, not some accident of his obvious stupidity or senility. The venality, the toadying lackies born on third base who think they’re hitting a home run every day, The murderous intent, all from a group of people who were bullied so badly in high school that they need to take their revenge at scale. It is no longer a question of left vs right, democratic vs authoritarian, or even smart vs stupid. It is, quite simply, right vs wrong.

Congress is a co-equal branch of government. History will record your next move, Senators and Representatives, for good or for ill.

History will remember this moment. For good. Or for ill.
