Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
¯ W.B. Yeats, “The Second Coming” (1919)
Following the hearing on Brett Kavanaugh, word started trickling out that the Republicans in the Senate had the votes to confirm him.
Despite everything that has gone on since his initial public hearings had concluded, Kavanaugh is set to become the next Supreme Court Justice, and the second one nominated by Donald Trump. If that is the case, then conservatives can rejoice.
Given the tactics, the outrage, the threats, and the insanity that we’ve seen, the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh is going to cause a lot of public protesting… and worse.
Activists have already shown a proclivity toward mob rule and violence. That will continue, and increase, as the process moves on. There will be another scheduled “Women’s March” in protest of his swearing in. There will be people in the streets targeting anyone who wears an American flag or has a MAGA hat. There will be violence.
I don’t like what’s happened, and I don’t like what’s going to happen. But you know it’s going to happen. The plans are likely already underway.
As I said before, this whole process has been a tragedy. I am very worried, however, that it’s only going to get uglier.
