5. There is no "off" ramp

This is so far beyond any “off” ramp

We didn’t just break something and now we have to buy it, we dropped a bomb on a kids school. 50 children are dead

He has opened yet another Pandora’s box. But there is no closing it or ignoring it or convincing the media to look the other way.

We are in the sub basement of the rabbit hole, we are not only through the looking glass but once through we broke that looking glass and there is no way back. The orange asshole looked into the abyss and jumped in.

We are no longer anything but evil now.

Yes, we are the baddies
