Sock-Puppet Government Prevails

With the revelation that Roger Ailes ran sock-puppet websites we see a trend and realize that wealthy Republicans have invented and instituted sock-puppet government, arguably beginning at the time of Reagan though the movement was discernible much earlier. 

Their goal is to have the government incapably weak and unable to resist them--ideally one which furthers their interests. We have that now, an administration entirely under the control of wealthy people. Donald Trump, however, is a sock-puppet of another sort.

He's the first president with their kind of wealth so there's confusion about his role and function. He is his own sock-puppet and was so before he became president. Trump doesn't have his head up his ass he has his ass up his ass--an asshole-reductive vortex of doom.

So, the shrill noises and cacophony coming out of the White House are from feedback--and there may be an explosion or implosion, depending on centrifugal and centripetal forces, which are in short-term, destructive equilibrium. Don't stand too close. It may blow.

Oh, damn, we are already unavoidably too close.
