In the end — and it is the end, no matter what a deranged team of White House lawyers is still babbling about on Newsmax or Facebook or wherever — Trumpism and America’s hopefully brief experience with neo-fascism has been exposed as a death cult.
I’m not sure whether or not I agree with this, but I’ve found myself thinking along these lines often enough that the quote is worth attention. Everything — everything — Trump and his supporters touch ends in degradation and failure; never, never, uplift. I’m not sure what that means, and am unwilling to speculate about the psychological workings of this crowd — but it’s not an accident; it’s who they are.
