All we need for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing. Or worse become passively complicit. Hackneyed but true. Perhaps whats most astonishing is for a significant number of people to believe patently untrue, bizarre spins on reality eg the Italian lasers rigging voting machines for Biden. As a psychiatrist I am saddened by humans accepting bizarre delusions as gospel. However, history reveals there is nothing unusual about this. The complicity of the political class in this Merde is also both despicable and unsurprising. Now if we just give McConnell the Sudetenland we can assure peace in our time.
