Good morning, THE ZEITGEIST FAVORS DISORDER The most dangerous person in America today is not Donald Trump. It’s the next wannabe autocrat. It’s a more sophisticated and savvy version, a version with thicker skin and not prone to erratic behavior. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley are betting that they fit the bill. They both were educated at the finest institutions, steeped in the law, well-versed in the lessons of history, and sophisticated in the understanding of power and how to wield it. That makes them more dangerous and more capable of manipulating the levers of power to achieve their goals and consolidate their power. Yet perhaps they’re too “mainstream” for the armed resistance and just don’t yet realize it. In that case, who might the person be to fill the vacuum?
