Lizards vs MAGA

 

At American Thinker, J B Shurk has encouraging words for conservatives:

In So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (the fourth book in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy ”trilogy of six books”), Douglas Adams brutalizes “democracy” in a hilarious exchange:

“On its world, the people are people.  The leaders are lizards.  The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”

“Odd,” said Arthur.  ”I thought you said it was a democracy.”

“I did,” said Ford.  ”It is.”

“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t the people get rid of the lizards?”

“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford.  ”They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”

“You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”

“Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”

“But,” said Arthur, going in for the big one again, “why?”

“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in.”

That is America’s Uniparty system in a nutshell!  Republican, Democrat, whatever — they’re all lizards.  Then someone who doesn’t speak lizard comes along — Donald Trump — and the “democracy” loses its collective mind.  The Intelligence Community spies on his campaign.  The FBI insinuates that he’s a Russian spy.  The press calls for his removal and incarceration.  Unethical prosecutors and judges go after anyone who might be called his friend.  The Uniparty harasses him with endless investigations.  The Pentagon and agency bureaucrats ignore his lawful orders and spread gossip and lies.  The Department of (in)Justice and left-leaning local tyrants persecute his supporters with spurious criminal charges that ruin lives but, more importantly, blare a warning to all Americans: if you dare to vote for a non-lizard, we will target you as extremists, lock you up as insurrectionists, threaten all you hold dear, and terrorize your lives!  All this calculated Uniparty and Deep State destruction because so many in Washington so despise the idea of making America great again that they choose to imbecilically slander that notion as racist!

When President Trump took the stage at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference and pledged to “totally obliterate the Deep State” if voters re-elected him, he made it crystal-clear that the war between the people and the lizards will be one for the ages.  ”In 2016, I declared I am your voice.  Today, I add, I am your warrior.  I am your justice.  And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.”  If you didn’t already know he was wearing his iconic navy suit, white shirt, and red tie, you’d have thought that Johnny Cash’s “Man in Black” had just walked in announcing, “There’s a man going around taking names / And he decides who to free and who to blame.”  He might as well have just admitted to the crowd that he’s Batman, looked through the cameras and directly into the watery eyes of the RINOs wobbling in front of their televisions, and roared, “I’m vengeance.”  It was a great speech, but all I heard was, “Listen to the words long written down / When the man comes around.”  Just like last year, he won the CPAC straw poll overwhelmingly. . . . .
