This is the first time I could fully grok the meaning of that Yeats stanza. It perfectly describes our current situation though I hope he's wrong about the best lacking conviction. This will truly be the test of our times.

Trump is radioactive and no one who could possibly help is getting anywhere near that. I fully expect that his exit strategy is to put us on the brink of a major crime against humanity that he will leverage to negotiate a deal that lets him resign with no jail time and his fortune mostly intact.

Thanks for your OP. I have found it regenerating.
