The Republcan Farce of Donald the Dunce

June dawns with the hearings into the Capitol Insurrection. The accepted narrative by our Greek Chorus in the media was that, somehow, our democracy was in danger.

It was not. There is no suspense in the story. It was only a low grade horror film.  It could have gone worse (and praise God it did not), if there had been a congressional sacrifice, but as in every morality play, the anti-hero could never triumph.

There was never any doubt that the rule of law would overcome the clown show. No Court would have anointed the anti-hero as victor, nor would any of the off scene players - the permanent government and the military - have bent to the whims of the clown.

The rule of law and democracy were never in danger. The anti-hero's chief minions were all deployed on that day and are now pathetically in hiding or in the squalor which is D.C. Jail - the perfect place for them. The army of malignant clowns, in thrall to their clown in chief, had no hope of triumph.

If this were staged on broadway, the Trump character would have ended the show by depositing a fetid turd on the stage, thus ending the show.

As Trump's atonal chorus at Fox and in the Congress continues their shrieking, there will be the inevitable punishment of the guilty - including and especially those members of Congress who, for the life of them, cannot take the hint to leave the stage. There is no doubt that they will soon get the hook. 

Unless the Democrats and media speak truth on this issue - that this show was farce and not tragedy, they will look as silly as our anti-hero. The audience will notice.
