Time again to be informed by the musical, cabaret
Donald Trump, the malevolent, has surrounded himself with “twisted people.” Robert Reich, former U.S. Sec. of Labor; now professor of public policy at the University of California – Berkeley, came up with the idea first. Trump’s second term, unlike the first with qualified people appointed, includes fanatics. Reich lists: Stephen Miller, Russell Voigt, Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth. Hitler had: Goring, Himmler, Goebbels, Hess, Speer, Donitz, all possibly more fanatical and sadistic than Hitler himself. I’d add White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to Reich’s list critical of Trump’s appointees. She voiced absolute glee over the awfulness of “Alligator Alcatraz” – a Trump achievement. About 3,000 humans (called migrants) could be incarcerated there. With the creepy and mean setting I heard her voice delight in – who would work there? Only one road in? No safety care for both migrants and workers! (Workers are also humans.) Time to attend a Cabaret musical performance and catch understanding of the crashing down of good things in life when the badness of fascism takes over. So why let this happen?
