We’d like to introduce you to Hunter Wilde. He’s a retired farmer and history nut who drops into some of our Mumbler eating and drinking events. He was a Republican until, he says, Donald Trump went to war against small farmers. He sent this in with a note “I hate this sumbitch.”
Stephen Miller – This entitled mind-bender, with his creative approach to creating confusion, chaos, and familial clanishness in any political setting, is doing a yoeman’s job of wrecking the legacy of President Donald Trump.
Miller, with dumb-headed support from Trump’s selection of incompetent Cabinet members, is doing his absolute toxic best at dismantling the Republican Party via a constant stream of verbal and physical disasters.
Every time Trump’s Homeland Security advisor has a brain burp, and follows it up with orders to various departments and agencies, the president’s poll numbers are adversely affected. Miller, a “master” (like his master) at blame-shifting and disaster-diversion, is always pulling himself and his bossman out of catastrophes he has created.
Miller has been described as Trump’s “Mini-Me” due to the mirror-image of the duo’s public thought processes and actions taken.
Unrestrained power covered by immunity: That’s the ultimate goal of the two cohorts. Miller already has that guarantee; if he gets in federal legal trouble, his suck-up buddy has a pocket pardon with his name on it.
Trump, being a lame-duck office holder with obvious cognitive issues, has almost three years left in his Term 2.0. Despite his age and declining health — both mental and physical — he has not let up on his unstated goal of bypassing the presidential term limits law and setting up an authoritarian regime.
Miller has the granted power not unlike Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, the Russian mystic and faith healer best known for having befriended the imperial family of Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia.
Through sheer force of will, Rasputin gained influence over all policies, programs, and procedures in the final years of the Russian Empire.
There is a striking similarity between Rasputin and Miller in their method of operations in gaining prestige and power.
Rasputin used the weakening of the Russian Empire as his springboard into historical legacy-building; Miller uses Trump’s lack of historical knowledge and his patholigical need to be surrounded by hero-worshipping sycophants to gain relevance through awarded power.
Hopefully, this country has its historical perspective of the benefits of this democratic republic entrenched in its collective freedom-loving soul to rebuild our democracy with a stronger foundation.
