American Inevitability

It’s weird watching the scary political actions and reactions to the Charlie Kirk shooting in America from a foreign country.

Nothing is surprising.

I hate to say it, but something like this was inevitable. The thing itself, and the reaction so far to it.

Saying other ignores the obvious road we’re on.

I told my wife before we went to bed last night exactly what the reactions I’m seeing this morning would be. They are playing out as scripted. And you need no imagination to expect them to continue and how they will do so.

I wish I could say being abroad changes my perspective. It doesn’t.
