Trump, Dog Whistles, and the Republican Full Monty

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

There is angst and gnashing of teeth in the Palaces of Privilege. The soft, pale, elderly Mandarins of Republican power met recently, all atremble, beseeching Turd Blossom for good news, but for the old whores of Capitalism he had none.

He told them what they already knew: Trump has them by the place where their balls should be. They confess a terror never felt before. And they should.

They’re stupefied. They can’t believe this raging boor is publicly calling bullshit on the con they’ve run forever. He’s selling “anti-politics” or “populism”, riding a typhoon of “incivility”. They mourn bitterly the lost capacity for decent political compromise which they, particularly, never had. They call it everything but what it is: frank exposure of the monumental fraud, that grisly, stinking embodiment of deception–Republicanism–that has raped America so often and so thoroughly.
