I studied in Innsbruck, Austria as a sophomore in college. Actually, that is one of the reasons we left the D.C. swamp fifty years ago and moved to Laconia. I read Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust in German at the time. Unfortunately, at 75 years old, I completely forgot the story.

So, recently, I re-read this literary masterpiece in English. I was absolutely flabbergasted at the parallels between Goethe’s Faust, written in 1808, and the Biden Demolitioncrat Party (BDP).
Mephistopheles takes Faust to a mountain overlooking Western Civilization and promises Faust, “All this can be yours if you give me your soul when I come for it.” Faust bought the DEAL and sold his soul for money and power.
Does this story strike a chord? It should. So, I will let the reader figure it out!
Hint: Mark Twain’s late writings told the same story about humanity and human nature.
It seems to me Goethe and Twain, many moons ago, predicted the Biden- Demolitioncrat Debacle. If the reader does not understand it yet, they never will. Our grandchildren and children will pay a colossal price for our stupidity.
