When a man of great Wealth seeks to purchase an Election and, upon defeat, cries “Fraud,” he reveals not the system’s flaws, but his own. And when the richest man alive believes the World must bend to his will, and dissenters serve shadowy masters, beware. That is Messianic Delusion.

Strange, a Man who decries Empathy as Weakness now bemoans that he is met with Contempt. It is a Peculiar Folly to believe oneself Persecuted for being Correct rather than for being Unbearable. Alas, a Man who sees himself as the sole Arbiter of Truth shall ever mistake Disdain for Persecution.

“The fundamental weakness in Western civilization is the empathy response,” proclaims Elon Musk, the Philosopher King of Government Efficiency. Alas, Virtue is not a pious Trifle. It is the Habit of placing the Common Good above Self-Interest, of choosing what is Right over what is Expedient.

Ah, how Fitting. Even as mere Paint and Canvas, I stand behind a Man resisting Tyranny, while before me sits One who flatters it and another who Aspires to it. If only Portraits could speak. I spent my Life contending with Kings; these Men would not have endured an Hour.

I have seen this before. The Demagogue King Jackson anointed Van Buren, who won the Presidency, only to inherit the Wreckage of Jackson’s Recklessness: Banks in Collapse, Economy in Shambles. Van Buren bore the Blame and was cast aside.

Vance may wish to Reconsider the Crown pressed upon his Head.

If Any Judge Anywhere may constrain a President from seizing Power unilaterally, then we live, indeed, within the precise Design of a Republic. If this offends the Mars-bound Monarch, let him establish his own Realm upon that distant Sphere.

Behold, the Bloviating Charlatan of Mar-a-Lago! Who believes himself the Nation’s Sole Redeemer, as if Laws are but Trifles and his Will the only Standard of Justice. I have seen Men of his kind before, swaggering Demagogues who mistake their own Indulgence for the Salvation of the Republic.
