Beware the changlings, the chameleon nature of the corrupt.
> “They are just beginning to see that wrath they carefully cultivated.”
And you will see with 100% certainty how they will change colors to blend right in with yours.
> “The GOP-E will soon comes to grips with reality—Trump represents their best chance to stay in power and in the perks of office— ...”
Yes, and when they do they will claim they were always for Trump and were his biggest supporters.
The coming turn of the GOPe is 100% predictable. The element of human nature at play here has been echoed since the beginning. Literary works often point to the horror of the two-faced liar who escapes to deceive again and again.
And the corrupt always or nearly always (a few exceptions; Ceaucescu etc.) come out ahead under the new banner. In Pasternak’s Nobel Award winning ‘Zhivago’, Komarovsky played both sides and always came out on top. In the Academy Award winning ‘Kolya’, the KGB agents who brutally beat an ordinary man named Louka to a bloody pulp were to be seen days later amidst the crowds of the Velvet Revolution waving and smiling at Louka saying how they were always anti-communist but merely doing their jobs.
And in America it is nothing new. The used car sales approach performed by scoundrels to get elected has always existed.
The challenge before us is to continue to find successful means to background check candidates, to test them repeatedly under duress in a process to ferret out the strength of their inner characters. Today we have the internet and it’s been less than 20 years in its development as a means of cross communicating and raising each other’s awareness. And it’s become a battleground. So far conservatives are strengthened by it but for how long?
Abject pessimism and complete cynicism is a terrible refuge.
