Many, myself included ask ourselves WTF has happened to us Americans.  What happened?  What happened to the Republican Party, when they had opportunity to convict this shape-shifting con man, impeaching him and banning him from holding future office?  They feared him, feared their actions would anger their own voters.

That is what the prosecutor, Jack Smith is facing.  Trump has not violated our laws in obvious ways, according to the New York Times.

The faith of the Americans today…

The individual becomes convinced
that he can do just about everything
and can manage almost any role and everybody
experiments with himself, improvises, makes new experiments,
enjoys his experiments;
and all nature ceases and becomes art.

… what I fear,
what is so palpable that today
one could grasp it with one’s hands,
if one felt like grasping it,
is that we modern men are
even now pretty far along on the same road;
and whenever a human being begins to discover
how he is playing a role and how he can be an actor,
he becomes an actor.

It is thus that
the maddest and most interesting ages
of history always emerge,
when the “actors,”
all kinds of actors,
become the real masters.

–excerpt The Gay Science, Book 5, Section 356 by Friedrich Nietzsche
