The phrase whistling passed the graveyard comes to mind….
Also, never summon powers you cannot control.
You know something is happening but you don’t know what it is.
All these people that for so long have bayed about how Democrats were socialists bent on complete and total control of our lives are now leading us to the place that they warned us about. It’s all so incomprehensibly stupid that it’s the likes of Donald Trump that has accomplished this feat. I could not have imagined a dumber timeline.
All it would take to avoid all this is one iota of empathy from these people that claim to follow a guy who constantly preached about loving your neighbors, not idolizing wealth, and forgiveness. Instead, they are cheering on the never ending list of grievances and incoherent rambling from one of the worst human beings to ever walk this earth.
Peter Thiel and I can agree on one thing – the survival of humanity may not be the ultimate good at this point. Let’s just hope we don’t learn how to transplant brains before Trump (or Thiel) kicks the bucket.
See you all in El Salvador!

Thank you for the reference to Niemöller. It is sad the number of times over the past several years that I have had to quote him. Sadder still those who yet don’t see the growing threat to themselves.
“People don’t explain to me, I explain to them!” That applies to every autocrat, ever. It’s also why they ultimately fail no matter how successful they may appear at first.
