Profound and well written piece.
Back when Clinton was in office I had a friend who was a hard core liberal (socialist). When I would point out illegal actions by “the bent one” that were being ignored he would say (more or less) that he didn’t care because Click Willie was a Democrat. I told him that he ought to think about that. No party controls the government indefinitely and crimes by Clinton that were excused would set precedents and allow future Republican presidents to commit similar crimes. I told him that this was a very bad thing.
He didn’t care. Over the years he openly admitted that crimes committed by Democrats, if they helped keep Dems in power (vote fraud in particular) were fine with him.
Click Willie = Slick Willie
It’s been a long day.
