every person accused of being hysterical in 2016 was simply correct

His allies and the courts the first time around being at least partially successful in impeding his worst impulses memory holed how bad those first impulses were.

Yep, the shrieking normie lib has had the most accurate grasp of who Trump is. Better than his supporters, and certainly better than elite journalists and pundits.

People were accusing me of "being dramatic" when I mentioned how the Patriot Act™ and the holy war propaganda post 9/11 were paving the way for domestic state terrorism. Got to love those thought-cancelling slogans.

I've come to the conclusion that Cassandra's warnings were not as widely ignored as some would have. More than half of the people of Troy must have known they had it coming. Zeus directed his cruelty not just at Cassandra: he meant to demonstrate no amount of knowledge or prescience can save anyone.
