Delighting in deceit, he deploys his best demigods, to destroy the truth, and replace it with a demonstration of utter defiance, devoid of any value, but full of the piss and vinegar which his devotees devour, and delight in shouting bravo, bravo! The Press, forgetting their own folly the first time around, hunts and sniffs for droppings of pure demented demands, empty of fact, endless with denials, and certain the raise the cockles of some who STILL have their own hidden bigoted views of those they too, deem the OTHERS!
The boggy man no longer hiding in the closet, needs not the dark of night, to slide and slither, scaring the innocent bystander but has gleaned the knowledge that although what he speaks is pure soured shit, smothered in the humidity of hate, he can find the daylight to deploy the good that democracy can offer to destroy all that democracy dares to stand for. The Media melts like butter, to pretend outrage, yet, over and over and over again provide enough Talking Heads, to debate the bull shit, that the words of the dictator begin to find meaning. And the meandering minions of ego struck “please pick me” candidates, caring little more about their own goal in life to become president, and if not that, to become the next household name, try to defy the Tweets, the temperament, the intentional terror of Trump, in doing so just make his useless rhetorical become larger than life.
The Trump Team is smart enough to know that if you leave enough bread crumbs, they will follow you. The Witch in Hansel and Gretel understood that good can be powerful, but its weakness is to play second banana to bad. Lay the bread crumb, let the innocent follow them and once they pick the last piece of bread crumb and the oven door behind them is slammed shut, for the moment, right before they are sacrificed…they recognize that their own choices not to fight fire with fire have now caused them to burn to death! “Send them back”, Love it or Leave It”, “Don’t take a knee”, “Lock her up”. Pick the poison, eat it, and soon you too die!
