I’ve posted this elsewhere, but it seems to fit here as well:
Here we sit in a branchy row,
Thinking of beautiful things we know;
Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do,
All complete, in a minute or two –
Something noble and grand and good,
Won by merely wishing we could.
From Kipling’s The Road Song of the Bandar-Log. So the attitude has been around for some time, but it seems to be increasingly endemic to the right wing in general and MAGA in particular.
