Dystopia at 1600

 AN EDITED VERSION OF THIS POST IS SCHEDULED TO APPEAR IN THE RECORD, A BERGEN COUNTY NEWSPAPER


Dystopia. A dark brooding nation being torn apart at the seams. It was the vision of Donald Trump, the one that propelled him into the Oval Office. And it is in that very house in which he resides that Mr. Trump now reaps what he sowed.

There is nothing here but calamity, ugliness. There is no sense that there is common purpose, greater good. There is only guttural noises, a shrieking, a shrill cry. The voice of Steve Bannon, his own life a sign of nothing so much as a moral depravity, shouting out that this is a place of destruction.

Mr. Trump has orchestrated all of this. Surrounding himself with the incompetent and far worse. All willing participants in the most pathetic excuse for leadership this country has witnessed in its nearly 250 years of existence. All for none and none for all.

An assembly of those whose greed, hubris, lust and hatreds rule their steps. Like a collective of the seven deadly sins. A gathering that has no love for nation and no love for its leader.

A dystopia. At 1600.

My instincts tell me that this administration is far more sinister than incompetent. I can't help but have this feeling that we are missing something truly awful--RE
