    I told someone awhile back that in my opinion a lot of the people in positions of influence don’t really understand or appreciate the danger of playing with the type of fire supporting or indulging the ideas that Trump represents brings with it.

    It is not as big a leap to go from supporting prosecuting women for having an abortion to save their lives to getting the idea that Governor Abbott has a weak bloodline, due to being in a wheelchair, and should be removed so he is not a drain on the state resources better used for the betterment of the strong as those supporters seem to think.

    Essentially they severely overestimate the control they wield over the leopard that will eventually eat their face.

It makes perfect sense once you remember conservatives think they are special, and live by “Fuck you, I got mine.” They got theirs, and they do not at all care that people coming after them can’t get the leg-up they got.

        And the chickens are flying around the monster, swooping and diving and pecking, and they created a monster but they didn’t pay the extra $4.95 for the commemorative safety goggles, a decision they’ll truly regret when they realize that the monster isn’t a monster at all, it’s a mirror they’re thenmonster!s… No the monster was behind the mirror but it’s a leopard and it’s eating their faces.
