It’s both fitting, and ironic bordering on tragic, that we’ve arrived at the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord and find ourselves facing the prospect of fighting an enemy from within, a homegrown megalomaniac who dreams of being king. An authoritarian wannabe who counts Vladimir Putin and his ilk as heroic role models. He likes their style, cares way more about emulating their tactics than tending to the republic.
To no one’s surprise, the voters who put him in office matter little to him. Legitimate, capable governance matters little to him. He’s just a kid in a candy store, drunk on the power and how people prostrate themselves in his presence.
He’s also a willing surrogate, putty in the hands of the real masterminds of this assault on the republic that we are actively being challenged to keep.
