@MadelineTriebw3 @BeschlossDC @marycjordan Like Trump, who has to piss all over everything Obama did, their internal churlishness & depravity of an internal life manifests in uprooting that which they do not understand.
They think themselves the apex of sophistication when they are its nadir.
It shows up like this.
@MadelineTriebw3 @BeschlossDC @marycjordan It is sad...regressive. It may be one of the early indicators of the depraved, simple, authoritarian mind. It has to destroy what it does not control.
It has to create a deadening conformity. Look at the "garden" of Trump's cabinet & inner circle. Continually pruning that which
@MadelineTriebw3 @BeschlossDC @marycjordan 3/ does not conform, that which, by its very existence is felt to be an unbearable contradiction. So, it must be deposed.

What is left is a cabal of people, who look like this garden. Dull and uniform. All of a piece.
Lacking the wisdom to understand complexity.
@MadelineTriebw3 @BeschlossDC @marycjordan 4/ Such "flatland" thinking shows up in the inadequate "magical" response to the COVID crisis; irrational tax cuts; endless lying about health care issues, along w other issues that do not so easily bend to the childish mind. Tariffs etc.

I am impressed w the garden as metaphor.
