An Evil Demigod in the White House

Note: I am changing direction on this blog. I believe that promoting benevolent reciprocity and universal empathy is not effective because we humans remain too cognitively primitive to follow the only logical path to achieving peace and security, both socially and economically. Our evolutionarily inherited genetic behavioral traits of xenophobia, territoriality, aggression, dominance and indifference to the sufferings of others are still too strong. As indicated by my last post, I am now focused on highlighting our darker nature and predicting what is to come, predicated on the grim behavior of our current authoritarian government.

In reference to the leading question, no, I don’t believe Trump was behind the tragic and mindless murder of Charlie Kirk. Still, I do think he couldn’t be more pleased, even though Kirk was a strong, far-right Trump supporter and advocate. His only diversion from the MAGA and evangelical playbook was his apparent homosexuality. Still, his murder has given Trump yet another excuse to exploit the moment by seizing greater dictatorial powers and adding to his white, goose-stepping MAGA Macho-Manosphere’s ongoing orgasm. Kirk’s death was like a delicious “ICEing” on Trump’s cruelty cake.

When the news of the murder broke, I couldn’t help but think of the rise of ruthless dictators throughout history and the Reichstag metaphor so common among them. If you can’t find a public-horrifying action committed by your political enemy, invent one.

Psychologically, Trump is the same as they: a deeply insecure, narcissistic sociopath, whose thirst for violence and revenge can never be quenched. I believe this is Donald Trump. Based on his words—far more repulsive and divisive than those of any notable opponent—and his ongoing actions of pure cruelty, I believe he is quite capable of committing similar atrocities to those perpetrated by past dictators, including Stalin and Hitler.

He will not leave the White House peacefully in January of 2029. It will be, by far, a more bloody insurrection than his first. The only caveat might be if he successfully passes power to his son through threats, fear, judicial compliance, and election rigging (currently ongoing).

The only way this can be stopped is if enough citizens with integrity and honor are willing to do whatever it takes to throw out the dictator, regain stability under the Constitution, and then force Congress to address the real root cause of government dysfunction and corruption (now a barely operable malignant cancer): corporate and private-interest money in politics.
