Democracy Dies In Daylight

A month ago in the Washington Post, not long before the Colorado mess, neoconservative icon Robert Kagan wrote, "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending." We may accuse Kagan - husband of Victoria Nuland, co-founder of the Project for a New American Century, and co-author of the "Benevolent hegemony" theory of world conquest that was the real reason for America's Iraq invasion - of much.

The graphic was a bust of Caesar, perfect for a six thousand word opus on stopping Donald Trump at all costs, whose sniper-scope subtext was as subtle as the Bullwinkle float at the Thanksgiving Day parade.

Kagan kept trying to suggest a biological solution to the Trump problem without actually saying it.

Indicting Trump for trying to overthrow the government will prove akin to indicting Caesar for crossing the Rubicon, and just as effective What limits [his] powers? The most obvious answer is the institutions of justice - all of which Trump, by his very election, will have defied and revealed as impotent.

Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans threw every legitimate weapon against Trump and still failed.

Will they turn instead to illegitimate, extralegal action?

What's the irony level of a clarion call for a Caesarian "Intervention" appearing in the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" Washington Post? Can that level of hypocrisy be quantified?
