Now much older women (and men) are yelling at us, "Don't say anything bad about Trump!" Same exact phenomena....
And I'm not even close to the first person to notice that.
What gets me, among several things regarding Trumpomania, is that an awful lot of The Donald's supporters
bang the drums none too slowly on behalf of the precept that the house is infested with vermin and it's time
to burn the joint down---but those supporters, once upon a time,
abetted the infestation. Never mind
that The Donald is the sort of exterminator who seems blissfully aware that his proper job is to exterminate
the vermin, not the house.
The supporters I have in mind are the people who shouted down, insulted down, and had banned down in other
forums any and just about everyone who stood athwart the subtitle of Michael Tanner's
Leviathan on the Right:
How Big Government Conservatism Brought Down the Republican Revolution. (The book was published
shortly after the Republican Congress was lost in the 2006 elections. It's only a shame Mr. Tanner didn't quite
have the foresight to add to the subtitle,
. . . and Ushered In the Regime of His Excellency Al-Hashish Field
Marshmallow Dr. Barack Obama Dada, COD, RIP, LSMFT, Would-Be Life President of the Republic Formerly Known as
the United States.)
In other words, when they hoist The Donald up as their unlikely saviour on behalf of little enough more than his
purported preparation to torch the vermin-infested house, they are in fact complaining about the monsters they
suckled.
