But I don't think this is a bad dream that we can wake from.
Machiavelli wrote extensively on how various princes wielded power.
This gang now has the Heritage Foundation, a frustrated constituency, billionaires and a megalomaniac with chaotic skills.
Kane, in Kung Fu, taught how to lean back to frustrate powerful blows. We are on our heels.
They have their posse with the aforementioned resources.
We live in a very wealthy, resilient society that is proud of its management skills. It will take some time for the safety net to actually fold. The repubs have postponed much of the enactment hoping to escape 2026 blame.
I live in Florida and people here take hurricanes as a fact of life. Our government hides the shortcomings to our education realities.
I am not quitting, but we are in for an extended conundrum.
