At this juncture, he's owned by his disorders. It's like we didn't even elect a fully formed person; we elected a pathology; we elected a giant id.

!["Much has been written about the figure of Trump: his biography, his appeal, his hold on the Republican Party. Some too have written about [Donald] Trump’s antecedents in the broader conservative movement. But Sharlet offers something new.… As Sharlet chases [Ashli] Babbitt’s ghost across a fractious landscape, he documents a new kind of civil war. States do not face one another on the battlefield; there is no rebel government. Instead, the battlefield is everywhere, and combatants have, in a sense, already seceded from the United States. That the secession occurred in their minds makes it no less real. They are armed, and they are backed, too, by power and money. They have successfully enthralled a major political party, and their allies are capturing courts and state legislatures. The other side is still catching up to the danger it’s in."
