Flaws

It seems that Donald Trump, the mouthpiece for Stephen Miller and his ilk, may be starting to check out. There’s a part of me that hopes this is the case. But the other part is greatly concerned with the next guy in line, who’d likely do his best to be a more sober and serious threat to our democracy, what’s left of it.

J.D. Vance comes across as more studious, more methodical and brainwashed, somehow more diabolical and way less comical than DJT—and DJT has never been funny.

In any event, things are getting pretty scary in the world. There is much speculation about the actual reasons behind starting a war with Iran. Bibi likely had something to do with it, along with being able to check off another line item on the list of distractions to use and squirrels to chase. Which all points to a serial coldness, a wanton destructiveness, pure deceit and power play and stunning incompetence.

Trump never came to lead. He came to add another notch in his belt, to play POTUS, to punish his perceived enemies and enrich himself, along with playing the stooge for the Heritage Foundation and their goal of tearing America apart.

It seems like it’s working better than they could have expected. And all because Americans by nature are hopeful and trusting and, sadly, naïve enough to believe that an empty vessel like Donald Trump could ever rise to the occasion and summon even an ounce of character.

Of course, it’s never really been about character. It’s been more about preserving white privilege and a certain brand of “Christianity.”
