“These are, to put it mildly, not happy times. I don’t know of anyone who is expecting to enjoy a truly happy Thanksgiving tomorrow, however much many of us have to be thankful for at the personal dimension of our lives. But our country is facing the most profound internal challenge since 1860. An unscrupulous president like Donald Trump, “advised” by Steve Bannon, might well precipitate a war in order to gin up a mood of “national unity” and support for the strong-man Chief Executive and Commander in Chief. Trump wagged all sorts of dogs in his relentless path to the nomination and the White House. Anyone who believes him incapable of moving to the next level has no understanding of the limitless narcissism and opportunism that is the only constant in his 70 years of exploiting those he sees as weak and vulnerable.”
