Let Them Rage and Crawl Back Under Their Rocks

I was speaking with a couple of friends this morning on a rare video call outside of our regular New Year Wishes. They both expressed a weird feeling that something was going to happen to keep DJT from assuming his office in next month. Their fears got me thinking. I am not at all pessimistic. But cautiously optimistic. Cautious because certain aspects of the Progressive base might be childish in their thinking, but the drivers of the movement are quite adept of instituting their objectives. Certain chaos and detours around civilized rules is a desired tactic of Progressives.

Biden’s complete lack of moral compass and his overwhelming ambition and limited intellect allowed his administration to become the playground of undisciplined children with wildly ridiculous ideas about how to run a country. The consequences were an out of control economy, a bankrupt foreign policy, non-existent borders, and a justice system that worked in total opposition to what it was designed to be.   

I do think Trump will get inaugurated and will serve out his full term. I feel a certain mood in the country, a kind of collective sigh that most of the unnecessary nonsense is over — that we are going back to adult rule.

As I thought about the last four years I am reminded of the William Golding book, The Lord of the Flies. A group of young boys is set down on an uninhabited island; their one adult, the pilot of their transport, a rotting skeleton. The children, male children especially, without adult supervision devolve into savages. Their savagery intensifies over time. More and more of the artifacts of civilized life are dispensed with, and the worst instincts drive them. It all comes to an almost magical end with the arrival of an adult. Normalcy is reinstated. They are once again children, disciplined and orderly.

It is feeling to me that this is the stage at which we are currently. The adult has returned to the island. The children are no longer in charge. The wild, untamed impulses no longer rule, and the nation is once again ready to resume its journey and its example as the shining city on the hill for all the world to see. It is only a little strange after all that has happen, that it is again Donald J. Trump, of all people, who will lead us back to civilization.
