As John Fowles wrote in The Magus
"I suppose one could say that Hitler didn't betray his self."

(7,772 posts)2. There was a rumbing across the land even before this started . .
Once this ends, the country will have acquired herd immunity to the disease that festered into Trumpism.
It will still be bouncing around, flaring up occasionally, but in general will be relagated to backwaters and crackpots.
