Whatever game Trump and the Republicans are playing it is not the "Glass Bead Game", but it is just as poorly defined. Trump is not a Magister Ludi, He's a fool in fool's clothing. There is no guidance but raw power seized, used for one's benefit, and all else irrelevant, irrelevant. This philosophy has been attacked and contained throughout history, but it has prevailed everywhere. An "eye for an eye" prevails over "love thy neighbor". Caesar won the wars but lost the form of government. The Caesars lasted 700 to 1000 years. And there was no progress in the number of people or quality of life until the 1600's, the time of sanitation and the Renaissance. But it was the Medici and Borgias, and power of the Church that brought the Renaissance. Education overpowers everything else. The Corporations today, money changers aside, are scientific research organizations. And mostly closed in objective and method. The "founders" were always "right". And that's simply not true. Objectives run into opposing objectives . Governments and civilizations must improve both their scientific objectives and economic objectives.100% of the right, JFK said, is rarely on one side of an argument. Respect for people, aided by law, not forced by law, the "perfectibility of men and institutions" needs a rehearing, in scientific terms. A Nation is a group of people who have bought into a common aspiration: "man is wise enough to govern himself", or "The others need ruled by 'us' ",or , really, me.
