(244 posts)Anyone who had cursory knowledge of human behavior knew that Diddling Donny's logic called for becoming a dictator as early as 2015. It was easy to follow his logic as candidate, then president. I knew and wrote back then that Donny could ONLY bully the GOP into silence while he runs roughshod over norms and laws toward dictatorial rule. He's neutered Congress and the Courts, and pays no attention to either of them in the name of self-aggrandizement. So now, he's wrecking the middle east (already a quagmire), Venezuela, he's alienated Canada and the EU, divorced the US from NATO, threatened Central and South America, threatened Cuba, and there's more of the worst to come. If the most mundane of minds in the theater of public discourse just articulated what we could all see from over 10 years ago, we could claim that the Fourth Estate and corporate culture provided proper stewardship of our Constitution. But no one cared and Donny's "star quality" blurred all of the warning signs and turned them into momentary objections. Now? We're fucked.
