Excellent article, Mark, and I fully agree that it's hard to define the thin line between "conspiracy" and vigilance. Perhaps suspected stupidity should be added to the long list of incompetence as well. What is happening could probably be attributed to the shadows in the dark. Our only hope is to count on the shadows that are not made by monsters.
I think most in academia and camp pro democracy still fundamentally underestimate the Tech+Media+Oil&Gas+Rightwing Populist+CRINk alliance against the rule of law and humanism
Parents? Appropriately, Trump's parents were the start of the problem - an uncaring, distant mother, and an amoral father on whom Donald modelled himself.
Trump Hates America and has the intelligence and emotional maturity of a 2yo. Remember the "terrible twos"? Attempting to apply rational adult thinking to a 2yo is a fool's errand. Where are the parents?
Excellent piece, Mark. Trump is terrifying and no-one is stopping him!

I like that.
Thxs, good read, fully agree!
To add:
He destroys NATO by attacking Greenland and Denmark
His overall Objective is the global erosion of law and order to avoid any regulation and promote the reign of Billionaires and Oligarchs
He has extremely powerful backers and allies:
The Tech Billionaires
The Fossil Fuel Industry
Traditional Media Tycoons (Murdoch, Doepfner, Bollore,…)
Oil state leaders (Saudi, UAE, …)
Together they have a lot of successfull franchise Partners in Europe and elsewhere:
Reform, AfD, FPÖ, Bolsonaros, Millie, Fidesz, ….
Good points, definitely.

Trump took the worst aspects of his parents and made them even worse.

And the Dems are hanging everything on the midterms. One could weep!!
