Is That A Leopard On Your Face?

"The Leopards Eating People's Faces Party" has been growing exponentially in the United States by all reports. As dimwits who lazily voted for Trump and against their own best interests begin to realize how his potential policies might impact their lives, they begin to regret their vote and wish to take it back. Alas, it doesn't work that way. That national poll we held in November will have lasting negative consequences for countless people in the future. Workers are already seeing a diminishment in their take home pay just in anticipation of his enacting the hurtful economic policies. 

 

It has become something of an entertainment to watch people feel the penny dropping, and to hear their caterwauling about it. I don't find it all that much fun, since the suffering they just realized might happen to them will likely happen to me and mine as well. I just have the small pleasure of knowing I didn't choose it for myself. Watching these early days of the new administration showcases two things. They have a dark plan for America and the world, in which many of the things people have come to rely upon will be stripped away. But they appear to be bumblers on a gigantic scale. The egos of the top people are so outsized that there seems not to be room enough for all them. The infighting and incompetence shows us that those things we fear won't come because they cannot figure out how to implement them and still avoid the blame for the hurt. 

That has always been the Republican approach since the loathsome days of the terrifically overrated Ronald Reagan. Republicans have learned how to run against government, but they demonstrate little or no interest in actually running it, save in those aspects which reap financial benefits for their slave masters. Democrats know how to govern on the national level, but Republicans don't. They are well-trained in jeering and bad-mouthing those who can do governance, but they lack the skills to actually replace those they mock. The truth is they might want government to succeed when they gain power, but they don't know how to make it do that. It's a sad fate we face when our primary hope is that the firing squad doesn't know how to shoot straight.
