The Friends of Destruction

Well, guess what. The Republican Party is now the party of Donald Trump. For several decades I have been haranguing people saying they didn't understand how crazy it was, that Republicans had become revolutionaries and an army of apostates determined to reinvent the country as something unrecognizable and profane, a new thing serving only the welfare of a fraction of its citizens. That time has come.

Republican masters and organizers are grazing in the grass and the rest of us are heading for the ditch. If you think it's bad now wait until they destroy the economy again. They always do--with profligacy, with greed and its enabling deregulation and with fiscal insanity. They deliberately squander resources to keep them out of the hands of the rabble. They enrich themselves and run away. The end is here.
