Brilliant essay. Simply brilliant. It reminds me of the maxim that Republicans dislike government in precisely the same way that criminals dislike policemen. As I understand it, we instituted our government with the purpose, among other ends, of removing us from a Hobbesian state of nature- homo homini lupus. We did not want to live in a society a where the strong were free to prey on the weak. But that's precisely where the perverse designers of Project 2025 and Trump's own greed would have us. And we're only six months into the transition!

Voting for a felon was never a good idea. He's turned the US into a criminal enterprise. Can the US survive 3 1/2 more years ruled by a guy who doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself?
