A Very Stable
Genius
|
 “Talented and well-practiced in every vice,
a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so
complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold
it up as an ersatz moral principle, violent, so long as he can
order someone else to do the dirty work, grotesque in body,
graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so
colossal as to smother any spark of grace, treasonous, not only
to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned
fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for women, and
utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy.
That is your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That
is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly
carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse. You see
yourselves in him. He is what you would be, if you had inherited
money and could shed the last vestiges of conscience and shame.
No, I do not “respect your choices,” nor do I admire your
loyalty and dedication to this miserific, demoniac vision. You
have demonstrated not only a lack of civic virtue, loyalty to
the Republic and to the rule of law, but a willingness to engage
in violence and sedition at his slightest expressed wish. And
you will never, ever admit you were wrong.
Because you see your dark, twisted, resentful dreams in him. And
to renounce him is to renounce yourselves.”
~ Advocatus Peregrini
