NEWSFLASH: Tyrants remain remorseless

NEWSFLASH: Tyrants remain remorseless

It’s the same rhyme and rhythm we find throughout history: Tyrants always and everywhere feel no guilt for, engage in no reflection on, their very bad behavior. Lockdown governor Gretchen Whitmer doesn’t care about what she did to the people of her state. Just look at her demeanor, always on the verge of eye-rolling any concerns or questions regarding her behavior during the Great Panic of 2020. Is her behavior drug-induced? Is this a Xanax-fueled inability to feel guilt or remorse, or is it something more human? Meaning, is this an inescapable aspect of the human animal in power? We must confront what we are, and there’s no better starting point than our behavior amid crisis.
