The Power Habit

Can politicians quit it?

When the history of the Covid-19 pandemic is written, the names of many drugs — Paxlovid, fluvoxamine, sotrovimab — will be mentioned. But the account will be incomplete if the distorting effect of the most powerful and addictive drug of all, political power, is omitted. The public, out of fear, gave politicians enormous power. What we’re about to see, the world over, is whether they can take it back.

We are in dangerous times.

  1. Politicians are politicians and they self select for the potential to abuse power. To me, the greater concern is how Americans turned against Americans in some of the cruelest most inhumane ways people can act. Abuses our friends to the left would have considered war crimes are now celebrated by them and the abuse comes from an individual as often as it does from a party controlled company or an elected official.
