Let's wake up! Such intensely orchestrated and fervently desired seeming "off the wall" ministrations of these Republicans are to be expected. Their "operating system" might be called the latest variant of "Rovism". These Republican outlaws' minds-hearts-consciousness is sodden with a startling world and self-view. " I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He [Karl Rove]cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore." He continued "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." "the famous quote wrested by Ron Suskind from a "senior adviser" to president Bush." [Wikiquotes]. So please please channel the energies of your outrage, exhaustion, frustration and discouragement into discovering what lies behind and within a person, in this case a Karl Rove and all those protesting for Agent Chaos's fictional "win" . Karl Rove "decided" that enlightenment principles and empiricism is over. We're shocked. Absolutely. Now, we must recover and imagine into the psychological dynamics operating here. Can we "unhook" from our reactivity sufficiently to open to an understanding of what energies fuel this cataclysmic concept? It's tricky waters. We need to "accept" our judgment and move beyond it to sense into what currents of psychological energy sustain such hubris."All politicians operate within an Orwellian nimbus where words don't mean what they normally mean, but Rovism posits that there is no objective, verifiable reality at all. Reality is what you say it is, ..."(Wikiquotes.org). We must move into understanding. Why? In order to put it in its place, to stake it, as to impale it. "Earth it." One reason crosses are placed over graves is to anchor the spirit so it doesn't wander about. Right now millions of our brothers and sisters are infected with Covid. Others are also psychologically infected or "wired" by this Weltanschauung. What's the need behind it? the calculus? the assumptions? Why now?
"So please please channel the energies of your outrage, exhaustion, frustration and discouragement into discovering what lies behind and within a person"
That would be like studying the Nazi's (or any fascist movement) to see what makes them tick, rather than fighting.

Or to fight back more "skillfully and smartly"....
Sun Tzu: “Know thy enemy.” So it’s both learning and fighting, not either-or.
I intend to think on that. Thank you for your comment.
Yes, we need to clarify what the need behind it is!
