One Appropriate Remedy

There's only one appropriate remedy after the double-whammy of the release of a new batch of indictments from Robert Mueller and Trump's amazing display of selective, self-serving credulity in Europe--he doubts, challenges and insults our allies, presumably decent people in positions of accountability, and kowtows to a mafia boss and enforcer with an indeterminate mandate. 

That they have in common.

Anyway, the 2016 presidential election should be nullified. I won't call Trump a traitor. I wouldn't even accuse him of an act of betrayal. There's nothing for an accusation to stick to. Trump is an ethical non-entity. He's "non-compos" and out-to-lunch. Let’s give him a permanent lunch break. He deserves it. But the tide of insanity that elected him is going nowhere. We need to deal with that.

Fundamentalist, evangelical Christians are behind it. They reject reason going back to the Enlightenment. They are afraid of its implications for salvation and the worship of God, so their posture in relation to God is degradation and their motivating impulse is fear. America is an Enlightenment country. They reject that. The "treason" runs that deep. It's a massive movement of unreason.
