Well done. Thanks much.
All this has an interesting analogy to an event in WWII.
Gen. Rommel had been an entusiastic supporter of a certain charismatic leader that had became head of the German government. Rommel had actually made comments early in the war that he felt this leader was a military genius. Rommel didn’t just look up to this person, he had a quai-messianic view of this person.
In the middle of the N. Africa campaign, Rommel notified this leader that he needed to pull his troops back and attempt a different strategy. Rommel’s request was denied; instead he was told to push forward using the current strategy. Rommel knew this would be a disaster for his troops and told the charismatic leader this. The orders stood.
Rommel never again had a good word to say about the charismatic leader. As time went on he noticed more and more things he didn’t like about this leader.
Toward the end of the war, Rommel was involved in a plot to assasinate the charismatic leader who earlier in the war he had held in such high regard.
I believe the Democrats in congress are having their Rommel moment now.
