I think this metaphor, which is very deeply embedded in the American psyche, best expresses the hopes of those of us who support Trump. We don’t know if he will let us down, but my sense is that his need for applause, his love of approval, will work reliably to cause him to do most of the things he says he will do; and what appears to be a common sense morality and sense of fairness, the rest.
Such is the hope. We have had a clown for a sheriff for too long, who has been actively conspiring with the men in black, from several different gangs.
And I will comment, too, how ODD it is that the Left really seems not to GET why people get mad at them. When they call us racists and bigots, somehow they fail to grasp that we find it offensive because we, too, hate bigots and racists, but are completely innocent of the charge.
Somehow they don’t get that 8 years of relentless insults and name-calling are being remembered in this election cycle, that the silence they bought in some small measure through aggressive bullying has never been consent to their reckless schemes, relentless lying, and thirst for blood and destruction.
