Inept overcomes Awkward
So many are excited to have supported and chosen a footless fool. That he as a person, as a thinker, as a doer, is not substantial -- has been irrelevant. That his beliefs, as ideology, as plans, as solutions, are without support -- has been hidden.
His good luck has been to show up when the one seemingly in charge was an illiterate unable to formulate coherent sentences, let alone paragraphs, and to face an opponent who mainly believes that physical suffering, mindless duty, and rejection of principles are marks of honor.
As usual, the Republic gets the leaders its people deserve. It hasn't been a pretty sight for a long, long time.
