I was just thinking about how over a third of Americans live in a parallel universe where truth has been banished and they not only don’t care about losing democracy but would welcome tyranny and then thinking about how it isn’t at all new and that the same was true for the late 1930s and then Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five character Paul Lazzaro popped up in my thoughts. Lazarro was the value-free sociopath who vowed to kill a list of personal enemies and supposedly ends up killing Billy Pilgrim years later. Somehow all of these Paul Lazarros are coming out of the woodwork now that Trump made the world safe for them.
