Carlson Regrets Trump's "Evil"
The spell is broken but the torment is not yet finished for any of us
It’s interesting to suddenly witness the poster boy of MAGA calling Donald Trump “evil”. Read a Washington Post article on this here.
The allure of running for president himself someday is almost certainly part of this turn by Tucker Carlson, but regardless to the motivation this says a lot.
Carlson’s turn is but one of the many signs accumulating daily now that the spell of enchantment is finally broken. Reality at last is making it impossible to uphold the fantasies.
Pretense, arrogance, dishonesty, incompetence, and self-dealing are the modus operandi of those Trump installed. So there’s no chance of adjusting and finetuning things. We will see an increasing stream of people fleeing the wreckage of the disaster now unfolding all around us.
This is not to say the damage is finished. The bills are only beginning to come due, economically, morally, politically, and a lot of people will be paying for a long time.
Americans have no clue how this dance with evil has damaged us abroad. America held the global catseat for many decades until Trump overturned it all, demanding even more.
And now that era is finished. Between tariffs, Greenland, Israel’s genocide (for which Biden and predecessors must also share blame), hatred of energy awareness, and now Iran, we’ve isolated ourselves.
We broke trust, needlessly, flagrantly, insultingly, with our global partners one after another under Donald Trump. They have and still are experiencing severe disruption and pain as a result. We have shown they cannot trust us and they are already making alternative arrangements as rapidly as they can.
It’s not the end of the world for America. There’s still plenty of warm appreciation abroad for Americans as individuals and for the values we once at least claimed to champion. There’s still plenty of ways to rebuild relationships once the Trump catastrophe is behind us. Still plenty of ways to work together with other nations for a better world.
But the rich harvest of easy benefits America enjoyed, flowing perennially in our direction, received unawarely and thus ungratefully by us, is permanently altered.
