On this cold Monday afternoon in the nation’s capital, a twice-impeached convicted felon was inaugurated in the very building where his attempt to steal an election four years ago left pools of blood.
Donald Trump beat the damning federal criminal cases against him because the Supreme Court, and then will of voters, snuffed out any possibility for those historic trials to commence. He was elected, this time with a plurality of the popular vote, on a platform that is somehow more rancidly authoritarian and anti-democratic, proudly corrupt and abusive, and ethnic-cleansing-prone than his and his party’s platforms were in 2016 and 2020.
His personality cult and iron grip on the GOP only grew in the years since the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that he instigated, as it did in the years since his first administration produced a four-year-long arterial spray of scandal, barbarism, and abhorrent mismanagement, including during the mass death and economic implosion of the coronavirus pandemic.
Source Link: Everyone Who Was Supposed To Protect You From Donald Trump Failed
To Express My American Beliefs and Values on today’s glitch day, I offer this. I found a wonderful “Rolling Stone” article, cited below. In it, one particular paragraph of strongly worded “overview” of today’s event struck me as visual evidence of #Resistance.
I began to consider –what if Hunter S. Thompson was still here, or his writing style, or his fueled visions. I used AI for this via the common prompt, and below are the relevant parts of the inquiry. I was indeed surprised to learn how well the model could imitate Hunter’s prose style. God, I wish he could be covering Trump for the Stone now…

original Rolling Stone article, a quoted paragraph;
“On this cold Monday afternoon in the nation’s capital, a twice-impeached convicted felon was inaugurated in the very building where
his attempt to steal an election four years ago left pools of blood.
Donald Trump beat the damning federal criminal cases against him
because the Supreme Court, and then will of voters, snuffed out any
possibility for those historic trials to commence. He was elected,
this time with a plurality of the popular vote, on a platform that is
somehow more rancidly authoritarian and anti-democratic, proudly
corrupt and abusive, and ethnic-cleansing-prone than his and his
party’s platforms were in 2016 and 2020. His personality cult and
iron grip on the GOP only grew in the years since the Jan. 6 Capitol
riot that he instigated, as it did in the years since his first
administration produced a four-year-long arterial spray of scandal,
barbarism, and abhorrent mismanagement, including during the mass
death and economic implosion of the coronavirus pandemic.”
rewrite of above by AI:
The frigid darkness seethed through Washington DC like a malevolent
force as the twice-impeached, convicted felon-in-chief took the reins
of power once more, the very same man who’d set the Capitol ablaze in
a fit of petulant rage four years prior. His twisted, gilded throne
sat upon the blood-soaked foundation of a republic he’d tried to
strangle in its crib, but the Supremes and voters, like mind-numbed
zombies, let the most heinous crimes of the century slide, and this
time he got the plurality, the whole stinking package, and with it,
the keys to the kingdom, a twisted, nightmarish vision of America
where the party’s devolved into a grotesque personality cult, a death
cult, where loyalty to the orange emperor trumped (pardon the phrase)
every last shred of decency, every last whisper of humanity, and the
GOP, that venerable, once-proud institution, now hung like a limp,
rotting corpse on the raggedy gallows of his megalomaniacal desires,
and we all knew this was coming, we’d been sleepwalking through the
wreckage, a four-year-long, arterial spray of scandals, and
barbarism, and death, and destruction, and still we’d been unable to
stop the freight train of his madness, as we watched in slack-jawed
horror, the death toll mounted, the economy imploded, and he just
laughed and laughed, a hyena on the loose in a nation gone mad.
summary by AI:
In a chilling atmosphere in Washington DC, the twice-impeached
former president, notorious for his violent attempt to disrupt
democracy, assumed power once again. His rule, built on the ruins of
the republic he once sought to overthrow, gained legitimacy despite
his grievous misdeeds, as the Supreme Court and the voters allowed
his crimes to go unpunished. The GOP has now devolved into a loyalist
cult centered on his ego, overshadowing any remnants of decency or
humanity. As scandals, chaos, and death unraveled during his first
term, the nation struggled to respond to his deranged leadership,
witnessing economic collapse and rising death tolls while he reveled
in the chaos, embodying a sinister presence in a country in disarray.
