That the "citizens" (and I use the term loosely) of this nation allow you anywhere near the levers of power again, it will be final and conclusive proof that this nation has completely LOST ITS MIND!
The Greeks had a polytheistic phrase that keeps coming to mind every time your homely head pops up in public or the media (which I shall update for any MONOtheists still among us): WHOM GOD WOULD DESTROY, HE FIRST MAKES MAD!
There’s another version of that, which I think is pretty near the mark, as well:
“Whom the gods would destroy they first make drunk with power.”
