Belfast is Burning. Because of COURSE IT IS.

9. I was half-expecting some major

civilization ending event or events because of Trump and it appears we came very close with this pandemic and the resulting economic decline. Another four years of his incompetence and arrogance could have brought about World War III, though I don't think we are out of the woods yet. We appear to be in the midst of a different kind of warfare, one that could be as devastating to civilization as guns and bombs.

Fascinating study and it confirms some of my observations about right-wing authoritarians. People like Trump often do destructive things because they can, with no thought for the long range consequences even to themselves. They are addicted to the power.
