Reality eventually catches up to everybody, no matter how strong the cult; the Devil always overplays his hand.
The question is are we willing to buck up and start writing the rules for a game that beats whatever MAGA is playing? Or are we just going to whine cynically that everything is awful and there’s no hope and we’re all doomed?
