Frankenstein (1818) 4


When Dr. Frankenstein's "creature" finally meets up with his "creator", he invites Dr. Frankenstein to hear his tale, and Dr. Frankenstein ponders this:

"... I felt what the duties of a creator towards his creature were, and that I ought to render him happy before I complained of his wickedness." (88-89)

The current POTUS is not the creator of those who stormed the U.S. capitol; they are who they were before Trump took office. That we think the current POTUS created them speaks to powers the POTUS does not possess. All the current POTUS did was give this mob permission to perform their rage and hatreds, like Dr. Frankenstein gave himself permission to accept his creature's invitation.
