There are no surprises here, and I am constantly amazed at anyone who is surprised. Everyone with half a brain knew who this guy was from day one: a malignant, narcissistic, misogynistic, vengeful, amoral, power hungry, liar, huckster, and con man obsessed with his public images, dying for acceptance and adoration, and utterly disdainful of our electoral process, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
Most Republicans leaders saw this, made feeble attempts to take him off the stage in 2016, then, realizing how successfully he conned so many of the electorate, assumed they could use him to advance their own ends of a one-party system.
Now he is hung around their necks, and ours, like Coleridge’s albatross, and like all such self-absorbed autocrats, will lay waste to everything within his reach rather then lose the battle for supremacy.
Fortunately he is also astonishingly incompetent, and as his mental and physical powers decline, he is providing us with an invaluable lesson about the fragility of our Republic. We have only to see it a bit more clearly than far too many of us have been willing to up until now.
