M.S. Bellows, Jr.Napoleon returned to power after being imprisoned on Elba.
Hitler returned after being imprisoned for the Beer Hall Putsch.
Trump has returned after being voted out and then convicted of 34 felonies.
Who will be America's Wellington? Our Eisenhower?
M.S. Bellows, Jr.The world suffered incredibly under Napoleon and Hitler, but survived Napoleon and Hitler thanks largely to outside intervention, not because of internal insurrection in Napoleonic France or Nazi Germany.
Many of us Americans will engage in acts of resistance, but it's clear that the majority of us, just like the people of France and Germany under those earlier tyrants, are not currently capable of responsible self-governance. I honestly no longer believe we can save ourselves, because too many of us don't want to be saved.
Q: Who will save us, as the British and Americans once saved Germany and France? Can Americans hope, eventually, for a new Wellington, a new Eisenhower? Or are we truly on our own?
