The MAGA Republicans have FA'd and FO.

12. If the MAGATs Had Been Awake and Paying Attention, They Wouldn't Have Had to FAFO.

I see the eternal spiritual Law of Karma at work here, in which a chronically or gradually worsening condition or imbalance invites an acute cataclysmic disaster. In the case of the United States, there were two chronic processes at work. First of all, we were taking our democracy, and the blessings of Liberty, too much for granted - in other words, we were getting too presumptive and complacent. Secondly, there has been a progressive dumbing down of our public education system in which graduating students no longer have the basic tools of independent, critical thinking - which is critically important in a democracy. My dear beloved father, a career diplomat, told me that there would be a lot less trouble in the world if only people took the time and trouble to think things through. Once again, I will repeat the great maxim I have coined: EDUCATION IS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OF A DEMOCRACY!

So, the MAGAts ask Donald Trump, anxiously: "We get to keep our democracy, right?" "Wrong!" says Trump.

It's the eternal Law of Karma: Whenever a people get too presumptive and complacent about a treasure or blessing they possess, sooner or later, someone will come along who will swindle them out of it. It's as simple as that - nothing more than basic common sense.
