Excellent discussion as always. Bashar al-Assad's ignominious exile to his new digs in Russia are indeed a cause celebration. His gilded cage on the Black Sea was originally reserved for Trump but... The Bulwark rightly focuses on the potential catastrophic degradation the second administration will inflict on our democracy. Your blasé wait-and-see agnostic approach completely ignores the long-term impact his obtuse, willful ignorance and proactive willingness to destroy the very institutions that have kept us safe from the next terrorist attack will have. And when it comes, it will hit large population centers. The people that suffer and die disproportionately will come from blue leaning population centers while those in rural areas who put him over the top will sit back and continue to rationalize their decision to put him back in power, already knowing full well that he was an incompetent buffoon. The irony is that Trump's appeal is only made possible by his masterful exploitation of the Obama/Biden/Harris's complete and utter failure to speak publicly
with brutal honesty about difficult issues, such as Islamic terrorism and immigration while at the same time, dealing competently with them behind the scenes. Obama's record on immigration is better than Trump's. Osama bin Laden was taken out on his watch. The fact we haven't had a major terrorist attack is something the American electorate has obviously taken for granted. The the intelligence agency professionals who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe staff the very institutions that Trump wants to dismantle and head with incompetent leadership. The resultant corrosive effect on the rank-and-file heroes who dedicate their lives to keep us all safe will follow just as surely as night follows day. We will all reap the whirlwind. Mark Twain once said or was it Franklin ' experience is a hard school, but a fool will learn in no other.' ?
'fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.'
'The fault dear Brutus is not in our stars. It is in ourselves.'
