Donald J. Trump is a brutish sociopath who had permanently soiled his reputation well before the events of Jan. 6, 2021. But the Capitol MAGA riot that happened exactly four years ago today sealed his rep for good.
Trump is a criminal — an anti-democratic, would-be dictator in the mold of Hungary’s Viktor Orban, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and the recently deposed Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. U.S democracy has been permanently bent and dented by Trump, and it’ll take many years to recover or restore any sense of normalcy because of his pathology.
I hate wokesters as much as the next guy, but the forthcoming Trump solution will be worse than any kind of crazy Kamala Harris wokester regime.
