The Baboon in the Ruins
A sparkling essay from Rebecca Solnit,a message maybe not of hope but a gallop through what is happening in America and that maybe things are about to change, not necessarily for the better but a fundamental underground current of the large wave that is holding up all those many, many people who have stepped forward and protected their neighbours from the cruelty of the ICE gangs.
So let us put forward that little hope as the flame of defiance against a crooked, misogynist creature who considered kingship as his crowning glory but was in fact mocked by the greatest crowds probably ever seen in America.
The mock king definitely had no clothes on and should be removed from office immediately but then those standing in the wing are definitely just as scary. I find it interesting that the demolishment of the East wing of the White House could be seen as an act of a baby throwing his rattle out of the pram and punishing the American people for not recognising his need to become a king.
Please, please America just get rid of him.
I am quite pleased to know that there is still some democratic robustness in the US, going against #47 'decrees'. If he isn't yet, he will certainly become a lame duck president next year, but no doubt still mouthing off in his demented manner. History will list Piggy as the worst president ever, one who brought America to its knees.
