"It is a profound historical ignorance that compels the MAGA minions to prefer a tyrant."
As I read this, and other posts today - a national day of MOURNING, not a national day of PARTYING - I think about those who donned various "military" style attire, armed themselves with all sorts of weapons and attacked our Capitol on January 6th and who apparently are going to get away with it (aside from the several hundred who have been identified thus far.) Their dear leaders are certainly getting off Scott free. I think of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, males (for the most part) who think playing "soldier" is a manly thing to do and beating up people is a manly thing to do. Where did they acquire this predilection for violence? Was it watching too many Die Hards or other violent films? Was it playing with toy soldiers? Was it playing Cops and Robbers? I don't think so. I know too many grown men, REAL men, who did all of the above and who turned out to be kind hearted, sensible, patriotic individuals. What then causes a pathology like the phenomenon we see today -streets in towns and cities taken over by caravans of oversized trucks bedecked with Confederate flags and bearded men with tattoos covering their deliberately bared arms from top to bottom? Males ( I will not call them "men") who must enter a Walmart or a grocery store with a gun on full display?
How did we come to grow such a crop of bullies, tyrants seeking a tyrant to worship?
