Trump vs. The Deep State+

...or whatever you call this mass, delusional operation against the rest of the USA by the "elites"... It's not just bureaucrats. It's academia, the media, K-12, publishing... You know the story.

   This mass, sweeping, more-or-less-right-out-in-the-open conspiracy--collusion between powerful elites and crackpot radicals--is sending the country off the rails. It has created the Myth of Orange Hitler. And it is deploying all its dark arts against him, including lawfare, one of its greatest and most depraved weapons. 

   Thing is...Trump, for all his strengths (and he does have several), is such a revolting dumbass shitbird that he makes it all seem like it might just be reasonable. After all, what's it sensible to do to keep a Hitler--orange, red, purple, green, whatever--from getting his hands on the levers of power? Trump didn't incite imminent lawless action on January 6th 2021. But he clearly laid the groundwork for it with his lunatic talk of Venezuelan satellites beaming votes to voting machines...or whatever the hell it was. If you tell people their country is being stolen...well, again: what's it reasonable to do to stop that? Surely a little breaking and entering at the Capitol is in-bounds...

  A pox on both...well, you see where I'm going with this...
