What did we think was going to happen? That the Prince of Darkness would walk up and identify himself? “Hi, my name is Satan. Care to sell your soul?” It doesn’t work that way. Satan is cunning. Satan fills the minds of his followers with self-righteousness and determination—with arrogance and vengeful thoughts.
Vengeance for what? Vengeance for imagined slights and insults, or injuries and insecurities brought on by oneself and then blamed on others. Republicans represented a privileged minority and they only wanted to win. An opportunity arose, a racist voting bloc. All they had to do was appeal to that.
All they had to do was play the race card. People are so surprised now, as every pretense of decency and integrity falls away. The lies are so ridiculously obvious. Everything is thinly veiled. The greed is right out in the open, and the corruption celebrated and fantastic. This is what evil actually looks like.
This is what evil looks like not when it knocks on your door because it doesn’t happen that way. It enters elsewhere. This is what evil looks like when it is already in your house and among you because it lied and deceived its way there. This evil is already completely woven into our society. Welcome to hell.
