To all. Of course it is awful. My point is just how much deeper all of the other damage goes
Yes, there is obvious damage. Whatever he’s gonna do to the White House itself, it won’t be good. In normal times, this would be infuriating.
But these aren’t normal times. Hell he could be melting down the Liberty Bell, tearing down the Lincoln Memorial, and pissing on the Constitution. Effectively those would be symbolic actions that would mirror what he is doing every day at a deep level in reality.
He is already destroying liberties, he is already dividing the union that Lincoln preserved, and I don’t even have to mention the constitution because I think the protest last week probably did an accurate job of assessing that. The damage he’s done to the White House versus the damage he’s done to the presidency itself? The latter is far more consequential.
The sleeping nitwits (a few of them at least ) could at least comprehend this classic old building being ripped apart with an excavator. It is not abstract. The arrogance of their king is apparent.
The White House? Yeah whatever. We’re so far past worrying about a building. We might as well be mourning the loss of the figurehead on the Titanic. “There were people on that there ship…”
