The history of these days will certainly speak to the cult; how easily they were gaslit; how they rallied around petty grievance; how they railed against their own interests; how they suppressed reasoned thought; how they succumbed - in so many ways - to a flawed and obvious con.
History will also certainly speak to the enablers, some of whom pursued proximity to power, some of whom were seduced by opportunistic grift, some of whom caved and capitulated out of misplaced fear, and all of whom pursued personal gain above a greater collective good.
But it remains to be seen whether history ever speaks to the true unforeseen disaster of these days, one which I shake my head at continually, which is the shameless, consistent, and widespread normalization of a madman.
