About 15 years ago, I was told by a man of smaller stature, that if he had my build, he would, “whip somebody’s ass every day.”
I did my best to explain the ridiculousness and inevitability of the, “survival of the fittest” premise to which he clearly subscribed, but to no avail.
While a relatively insignificant episode in my life overall, thanks to the new republican party that has emerged since Donald Trump took over the U.S. presidency, I am reminded daily that this man’s unfortunate combination of physical and intellectual napoleon-complex is a common thread embedded into the very fabric of which the MAGA movement is made.
