One year of weaponized dementia

Exactly one year ago this hour, the worst administration in American history took office. One hopes they will always be the worst administration in history (though I can see some ways that becomes true for some pretty horrible reasons).

In the past year, as the OAFPOTUS has descended deeper into dementia and his existing malignant narcissism, his droogs have torn down the domestic and international structures that provided the longest period of prosperity in history. Not everyone is horrified, of course; the OAFPOTUS has done Vladimir Putin's work so effectively the Russian dictator openly gloats about it.

Will we have three more years of this, or will the Republicans in Congress and in the Cabinet who keep him there end the nightmare sooner?

Even the people who believe in their tiny, cold hearts that destroying the welfare state is the only way we can have a prosperous billionaire class (looking at you, Russell Vought), or you believe that getting rid of every immigrant who arrived after 1830 will make up for you not getting to sit with the cool kids in 2nd grade (looking at you, Stephen Miller), aren't you tired of the chaos?

I should note, today is also the anniversary of the Wannsee Conference, when Stephen Miller's boyhood crush Reinhard Heydrich and his pals planned the murder of 11 million Jews in Europe. That was only 9 years after the National Socialists took power in a (mostly) democratic election. We're living through history repeating as farce, to be sure; but Miller has built concentration camps while the OAFPOTUS celebrates brownshirts killing moms in Minneapolis.

Elections for the 120th Congress take place in just 287 days. Everything points to an overwhelming swing towards the Democrats. Taking back Congress will slow but not stop the mayhem, unless the Republican Party decides they decide to take action with us. We'll see; so far, they seem to want everything to burn down so they can rule the ashes.

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning.—Ecclesiastes 10:16
