"God will provide..."
Preliminarily, I wish to tell you all that in Philadelphia, the political aspects of the practice and academia of dental medicine was overlorded by real…shall we say, self-righteous imperious pricks. These men, and they were ALL men, were incredibly vicious if you wronged them. To put it mildly, it was like the Mafia: you pretty much can operate in their presence unencumbered but you better not cross them or be beholden to them. They had inter-generational memories and grudges and it was not unusual for someone’s grandson to be declined admission to a specialty program because something untoward occurred in 1934. This is not hyperbole
However, finally, the last of these bastards is dead and there is a sense of relief among us older individuals who lived under the threat of a problematic existence. The younger folk have no idea what they “missed”.
In the same way, this bunch of neo-fascists and neo-Nazis will eventually begone, of course only to be replaced with a new crop. However, And you can take this from my experience, when the kingpin dies, the sycophants and hangers-on fall into disarray. This is exactly what happened here in Philadelphia in the dental world. There was one individual who held great sway, but upon his leaving the mortal coil, all his buddies were leaderless and drifted off into oblivion. It was almost magical in its dynamic. So the same will happen to the erstwhile “religion” which suddenly appeared in 2015. Unfortunately, there will be future “prophets” with varying degrees of political competency and skills but at least the “Messiah” will have perished.

Is there a special shehecheyanu for an occasion like this? Christians usually sigh with relief, say "Thank you, God," and then plan a secret grave-pissing event.
