It’s a hard battle — statutes take effort, negotiation, and time, unlike the whimsical ease of executive action. But once passed, they offer at least a thin membrane of security against the next regime of lunatics. A legal barricade, however temporary, against the tides of madness.
Then again, anything made by man can be unmade by man. And today, the professional idiot has infiltrated every lever of power — not just politics, but the media, the boardrooms, the bureaucracies, the universities, and every organization larger than a dinner party. Idiocy has gone institutional.
We’ve all drunk the Kool-Aid — willingly, ceremonially, and with great moral enthusiasm. And as with any pathogen, the infection must now run its course. Civilization, it seems, has to sweat this fever out.
I watch Trump’s attempts to curb the chaos, but he’s still a politician — a creature of that same fickle ecosystem called “public opinion.” And public opinion, let’s not forget, is ruled not by reason but by Cipolla’s law: there are more idiots around us at any given moment than we can ever bear to acknowledge. More than we can possibly comprehend.
So yes, good luck to those trying to legislate sanity back into the asylum. As for me, I’ll do what must be done — quietly, steadily — to remain sane in a world that has clearly chosen the opposite.
