@Jezibaba Mike Johnson evokes the phrase “the banality of evil” philosopher Hannah Arendt used to describe Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann. She found Eichmann not so a Nazi ideologue, but a shallow bureaucrat, who was ‘neither perverted nor sadistic’, but ‘terrifyingly normal’. His lack of empathy extended to his inability to consider the implications of his actions on others. 1/2
@Jezibaba 2/2 In a way it is too bad Jim Jordan was not elected Speaker; he’s an inflamed hemorrhoid whereas Mike Johnson in his bland demeanor is like a cancer metastasizing yet unknown to its host before it’s too late.
