This is a cautionary tale
Right now, laughter is ringing out — laughter at the GOP. This laughter bubbles up gleefully, fully, and freely. Perhaps you can hear it yourself, rippling through gentle winds. This laughter comes from Karma herself.
“HUMILIATED!” Politico’s Jonathan Martin told MSNBC that Republicans are feeling utterly and wholly humiliated — by none other than Donald John Trump. “They’re humiliated by this. They don’t like it.” By this, he refers to Trump’s Presidency — and all his errors. “They’re embarrassed by it.” However, Martin said, they simply lack the cajones to do anything about it. “They want to stay in power.”
Yes, there’s a lesson to be learned here. That lesson is that though the GOP do not know it (perhaps deep down, they realize it but never will admit it), they are NOT in power. They are in servitude to Donald Trump, and their own fear has blossomed into one extraordinary beast that lives inside them. Does that sound like “power” to you?
Of course not. Republicans may have their TITLES, but that is not power. They can’t take a step or make a decision or choice without first making sure that Donald Trump’s OK with it. That is not power. That is emasculation.
Karma has doomed them to become that which they always despised in the past. It is indeed a story to tell, a cautionary tale, the type of story that hundreds of years from now, historians will tell, warning interested and rapt audiences of the dangers of fear, of the lessons not learned, and of a party that unknowingly destroyed itself from the inside.
