Karamazovs

Boris with his partisan alienating language, arrogance, indifference to fairness, suffering.  His lasciviousness – unbridled lust – echoes Trump

Together they combine characteristics of the father Fyodor Pavlovich in Brothers Karamazov, coarse, vulgar, greedy and lustful, with deeply unjust influence over others to gratify his lust for money power and young women.  Also their penchant for self serving advisors and glee to manipulate. And desire to destroy others. Especially those viewed as competition. And stoke up rage or passion, so calm reasoned discussion not possible

And how to respond?  I suppose we choose Dmitri or Ivan or Alyosha as our reaction to him.
