​A metaphor for our time

In 2016 a lot of people hated Hillary Clinton. Honest mistake. She didn’t have much of a personality and what she did have was kind of repugnant.

So you hired Trump to come paint your house. He shows up, sticks a gun in your face and makes you sign over the deed. Then he burns the house down for the insurance money. You don’t dare complain because he has 200 million crazed followers, some of whom are heavily armed, and they’re already calling you and all your relatives on the phone and making death threats. So you change your name and quietly move out of state Besides, the Supreme Court has given Trump complete immunity so he’s untouchable.

All your neighbors are saying, ‘Wow, that Trump is a real man! He tells it like it is!’. They call him up and say, ‘Come burn my house down, too!’ It spreads like wildfire. Soon, half the town is living in a cardboard box down on Main Street with a Trump sticker on the side. They watch Fox News on their cell phones, and laugh about how they owned the libs.
