America Is Being Terrorized by a Loser Who Never Got Picked for Dodgeball
There are men who are dangerous because they are competent, and then there are men who are dangerous because they are pathetic. Stephen Miller belongs squarely in the latter category — a man so nakedly insecure, so chronically aggrieved, that the only way he can experience importance is by borrowing the force of the state and pointing it at people who can’t hit back.
As Axios reported yesterday, Kristi Noem remarked after Alex Pretti’s execution that, “Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen.” Never mind that she is already trying out the “Just following orders” defense that others have famously attempted. The point is that even Noem — a cabinet secretary — is making it clear that it is Miller’s inhumane (and inhuman) policies that she is executing.
Despite how he hopes to be portrayed, Miller is not the dark prince of American authoritarianism. He is the hall monitor who finally found a gun.
Miller is the political equivalent of the kid in the cafeteria who got picked last for dodgeball, who stood at the edge of the playground and shouted insults at anyone having fun, and who now, decades later, uses the full force of the federal government to try to harm a country because he thinks his classmates ignored his genius in high school.
