This is my artwork from 2014. I've used it many times since.
And this is a metaphor of mine from 2022, or possibly earlier. I've used it many times since.
For decades, while the establishment media masturbated itself blind in their Platonic Cave, the GOP has been worked diligently to create an unstoppable Gingrich/Limbaugh political Doomsday Machine.
A Doomsday Machine that could not be reasoned with or bargained with.
A Doomsday Machine with no "off" switch.
And they succeeded.
This is the artwork The Atlantic put together for Peter Wehner's article:
This is the headline:
Trump Discovers MAGA Has No ‘Off’ Switch
This is his conclusion:
Having created that movement, Trump is discovering there’s no “off” switch.
This all may or may not have been a coincidence. Probably was. However, given how thoroughly Never Trumpers have ransacked longstanding Liberal critiques of the Republican party while never acknowledging that we exist at all outside of a still-punchable straw-men, date back to way before Trump, it wouldn't surprise me.
Whatever the facts may be, it does afford me the opportunity to, once again, repeat this for the benefit of sloooow Never Trumpers who, for some reason, now have all the microphones.
You are the ones who created this doomsday machine.
You are the ones who made sure it had no "off" switch.
You are the ones who did this because you were sure that you could control it
You are the ones who profit hugely from it.
And when Trump snatched it out of your hands by doing nothing more than speaking to the base in the language of rage, racism and paranoia you taught them, only then did you jump up and demand to know where all these fascist MAGA zombies had suddenly come from.

Exactly correct!
And watching the media frenzy over the "Epstein List Conspiracy" (it was Ok when it was about Bill Clinton, because, you know, both sides means beliveing is bullshit wackos) is just hypocracy in full bloom.
