The Trump administration is trying to take the world back, not just to the Dark Ages when people were tortured to death for their beliefs, but to the stone age when Neanderthals with the heaviest clubs held the most power. Neanderthals commandeered rare earth minerals fecund hunting grounds from weaker neighbors because they could. But when they came up against more organized, ordered, and civilized Homo Sapiens, they became extinct.

Trump advisor and Neanderthal genetic marker Stephen Miller is on record lusting for the good old days when women were dragged by their hair into the cave. He told CNN during an interview that, "We live in a world, in the real world . . . that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time."

He wishes. Shamefully unfamiliar with exalted human histories that produced the Magna Charter, the League of Nations, or the United Nations pact designed to prevent the next Hitler and WW III, Miller added in a later talk that "President Trump's authority will not be questioned."

Miller is damaged goods, a lip snarling Nazi-adjacent creep born into privilege. When he ran for office in high school, his stump speech claimed the right of all privileged students to litter, to trash the place, because paid staff would clean it up. That was 25 years ago, but people never really change at their core, and Miller is now trying to help Trump re-arrange the world order.
