Reflect for a moment on the flags and banners shown proudly flying in the hollowed halls of our Nation’s Capital during the insurrection and attempted coup. We all saw the flag of the Confederacy, ‘Trump 2020’, ‘Jesus 2020’, the flag of South Vietnam, the flag of Christianity, and ‘Q’. At best, only one of those may have some contribution in ever ‘Making America Great Again’. What was represented were failed, defeated, and debunked causes, and corrupt regimes. The banners of a cult not the banners of a proud representative republic. So, as we watch the collapse of a once grand old party let us hope we aren’t also witnessing the rise of an unrestrained cult. A cult without moral guiderails or a grand vision, just corruption and power.
