While everyone is enjoying a bit of a respite from the crazies flying their freak flags in our faces, it is important to remember that they have not gone away. Like cicadas, they have merely gone into hibernation. There they will rest up and conjure some new versions of their egalitarian lunacy. A decade from now they will spring forth and start the cycle of madness over again.
In the interim, the people who orchestrated the freakshow will be busy gnawing away at the fibers of society in an effort to prevent regeneration. They can still use Trump to generate support and get money from soulless oligarchs, who think underwriting this stuff will bring them peace. The lawfare we see against the Trump admin is a good example of what will be the norm now.
The crazies will also refit their image by disposing of the old freaks and finding new freaks to be the face of their craziness. Expect new faces in the media saying the same old things but with new language. Just as the New Democrat was the old crazies in new baby boomer wrappers, the next round of freaks will be the same freaks but dressed up in the garb of the new generation of millennials.
That is the show this week. It is a vacation week for many and a slow week in general, so I am trying to keep in light. Even though it is fun to mock these people now that the tide has turned against them, it is important to remember that the freaks never change, and they never quit. The coming peace in the culture war is a false dawn. True peace only comes when freaks are permanently forced to the margins.
