"You Are All Misled! I Know The Truth! It's The Illuminati!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because horns of dilemma.

Jeez, you'd think if Obama was the diabolical mastermind Muir paints him as we'd be a lot closer to the Socialist dictatorship Muir is certain he is trying to usher in. But this is always the reactionary's great problem--convinced of his opponent's utter depravity, he acts utterly depraved. Convinced that he is facing a gargantuan conspiracy, he forges a conspiracy to fight it. In becoming what he imagines his opponent to be he naturally runs into the problem of reality refusing to match his imaginings--but this only becomes more proof of his enemy's insidious power. And he runs into the problem that real depravity appalls onlookers, and real conspiracies are usually quite obvious. But as the reactionary has the support of much of the powers that be, he can continue sheltered from any severe fallback from his actions. Ultimately, however, things can only end badly. If the reactionary gains control of the government, he generally causes a national collapse. If he continues trying and failing, the constant escalation provokes either a revolution or a crackdown.

The USA, of course, has been lucky, both in its government and its freedom. And yet now, we face a horde of Muirs, men who do not believe in the process, and yet imagine they do.
