See, there’s this thing called a pandemic...
The author doesn’t even acknowledge that.
I laughed out loud when he invoked ubi sunt regarding the inauguration turnout.

I had to look that one up.
But you didn't address the gist of the piece...

"When the Soviet Union was entering its last days, one leader quickly made way for another. The parade of old Communist hacks in their dotage became a procession of political funerals. Generations after the revolution and the purges, the only thing anyone in Moscow believed in was the power and decadence of the ruling class. That and the threat America posed to them."
Oh dear, what a load of bollocks. He really should have edited that out of his polemic.

I'm a word nerd.
As for the gist, I plan on spending a lot of time in DC after I get vaccinated. If the Guard are still there with their fences and barbed wire, I'll be officially concerned. Right now all this is a comparative nothingburger. I'm not worried about the government. I'm worried about the insanity of the public. If enough liberals actually touted inclusivity inclusivity, their party would follow suit.

5K soldiers is a nothingburger?
Either it's a response to a real threat or a political statement. Neither is "nothing."

Okay, so you're right, it's one of those two things. They said it was the former, so I'm choosing to believe that. If they're still there in April I'll start to get concerned.

Yes and just how does that make that paragraph credible?

Worked for Brennan.
