Letter to the editor: Heading down an ominous path

FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET. In Project 2026, the next iteration, government support of education, with secret help from the Kremlin, will be reduced to sound-bite slogans, until intelligence reaches a level lower than the Toddler-President, who constantly cries, “I want, I want. I’m very, very psycho-perfect, great at merger and acquisition,” the merger of policy with insanity, the acquisition of any object within reach.

Meanwhile, an effective way to eliminate immigration: Continue the chaos. De-humanize new enemies, foreign and domestic. (Ordinary Americans will prefer to live elsewhere.) The promotion of fear, anger and autocracy as entertainment could replace baseball. As a decorated veteran of a foreign war, a “loser and sucker,” I should prepare for deportation, reminiscent of Europe in the 1930s.

A question that once seemed implausible: How much longer will the Constitution be relevant?
