The quote from Voltaire: “Certainly…who is in right to make you absurd is in right to make you unjust,” which became widely quoted in English, in the familiar form “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities,” often attributed to Norman Lewis Torrey (1961) for the English rendering, has great resonance beginning in 2016 and continuing into 2026. Ten years of the minion mindlessly losing his or her mind, drinking a Kool-Aid not meant to poison the body, but to eliminate the brain!
Infected, infested idiots and morons, whose pure existence is to extinguish the lives of anyone who is not them, Trump and his band of Fascists have successfully manipulated a large contingent of Americans to point their fingers outward in order to blame the misery of lives on anyone but themselves. The Dark Army, whose generals consisted of billionaires, the Epstein class, and right-wing media giants, understood that absurdities were the lifeblood of those whose own lives were a miserable existence.
We are told that this election was almost a once-in-a-lifetime political happening, one in which many of those who thrive on atrocities actually realized that they were the true victims of atrocity!
So, I ask, honestly: now what, Democrats? Now that you won, what? Where do you, as a collective, go to remedy the wrongs? Do you keep your DNC leadership intact? Do you just impeach the entire Trump clown car of fascists? Do you have any idea how to really lower prices and lower the cost of medical care? Do you continue your usual course of infighting?
Democrats, you have a chance to stop the absurdity and atrocities, and I, as a lifelong Democrat, worry about how you may either seize this moment or, as usual, destroy it!
