I am much less frightened than I was a week ago. Please hear me out.
This does not mean that my opinion of the current resident of the WH has improved. He is as flighty, deranged and narcissistic as I supposed, if not more so. So what has changed?
I now see that he is choosing to listen to the most short sighted, destructive and incompetent voice in his tiny little world. I refer specifically to Steve Bannon, who has become the head bomb-thrower-in-charge.
The proclamations he has issued so far show that Bannon is no Karl Rove, deep thinking, patient, playing the long game. Bannon and Trump (Bump?) are spoiled children who like to see things go BOOM, and dont care who gets hurt, because they have no real friends, no love or regard for anything except themselve. They derive equal pleasure in seeing Democrats and Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals crash and burn, as long as there are headlines, protests and destruction and lots of attention.
It will be their impatience and incompetence that will make them take that one step too far. Toadies like Ryan, McConnell, Priebus and Rubio all have plans for more than just 4 or even 8 years that do not include rising phoenix like from the ashes of a destroyed civilization. They will at some point feel the need to protect their phony baloney jobs. For us, we have come to , as they say, the nut-cutting. We will, I feel, shed the failed leadership of the past and coalesce into a true resistance.
There will be blood. There will be pain. The cities may well burn. It will take time to recover, but the core of our great country will not be destroyed by this gang of fools and losers.
