Chaos is a Ladder

So said Littlefinger, who poked his finger where he shouldn't. 

Yesterday was one of the darkest days in our nation's history, when the president spoke to a crowd that then rioted at the capitol.  Shock is an understatement; I'm kind of at a loss for words.  What was once a great nation seems to be lost, teetering on the edge because of a certifiable lunatic.  The Republicans should be ashamed for letting this man go this far; and even now, they haven't dismissed him.  It's beyond embarrassing.  

His enablers are as much responsible as he is.  This political situation is like a family with two parents and a spoiled child; one parent is stern, trying to provide discipline (the Democrats); the other is a complete pushover, totally oblivious to the consequences of raising their child that way (Republicans).  Republicans, you must put your country before your political career; your legacy depends on it.  History will look back on Trumpism in the same light as fascism and totalitarianism.  Trumpism might even be worse, for the chaos and confusion that underlies the instability it creates.  At least with the Nazis, you knew what to expect; at least with the Soviets, they were united in their struggle.  Under this ideology, we tear at the seams from within, where division is inevitable, creating a rift that brings a nation to ruin.  All for the psychotic needs of a sociopath, a narcissist, a child who won't be held accountable. 

And this is happening during the worst days of the pandemic (so far), with 3-4 thousand deaths per day.  The president has all but vacated his office at the peak of this crisis, creating another one top of it, just to appease his selfishness and greed for power.  The election was not stolen; it's a fact.  Every single judge rejected their case because there is no evidence.  All their accusations are projections of their own faults, like conspiracy to attempt election fraud.  These are distractions meant to cover up their own crimes, such as the most obvious one: attempting to subvert the will of the people.
