“When Will They Ever Learn?”



Once more, with feeling: Nope.🙂‍↔️ 

Read “Othello” one or two times, at least, paying close attention to Iago and the other characters in the play, particularly Othello, Desdemona, and Roderigo.

What Shakespeare shows us that fascists seldom proper (Willie wouldn’t recognize the term, but Iago is all for the primacy of Iago, uber alles), but they can do a lot of damage, especially if allowed to work in relative isolation.

Iago comes to grief when that isolation ends. The same is happening to Trump, now. He can no more escape the consequences of his lies, than Iago could.
