MAGA owns the Libs. Let the retribution begin.
I will own it too. I am the enemy within.
By that I mean like the Lutheran saint, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who, writing books, watched casually as Fascism swept his native Germany in the ’30s.
But then joined a conspiratorial revolt against Hitler that led to Bonhoeffer’s death days before the Reich fell. A final order by Hitler did him and others in.
From his cell, the night before he was hanged, in April 1945, he wrote:
“Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine. Whoever I am, thou knowest, O God, I am thine.”
Perhaps we are on the cusp of many things: deportations in the millions, courtesy of Little Goebbels, Stephen Miller?
Army on street corners keeping peace against libtards?
RFK Jr. banning vaccines?
Musk awarding himself contracts to Mars?
As T.S. Elliott wrote in his 1925 poem The Hollow Men, “We are the hollow men”
“We are the stuffed men.”
The center didn’t hold.
It matters less for me. I’m old. Not long for this world.
If the Justice Department is manned with a partisan bent on revenge. It shouldn’t touch me.
If the trans community is Willy Hortoned, it won’t target me.
If a million or two or 10 or 20 undocumented are extracted from the streets? What effect on me?
For now, I’ll withdraw into books.
I’ll cancel the Washington Post.
I’ll hike in the woods.
To preserve a nugget that can reborn?
Elliott continued in The Hollow Men:
“This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper”
When MAGA starts quoting MLK,
that’s when you’ll know we’re reaching the end.
The Book of Proverbs says:
“As dogs return to their vomit,
So fools repeat their folly.”
(Proverbs 26:11)
