Terry's New
Political Cartoon Series
America's
Inglorious
Restoration
INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to my
"political commentary with humor" page.
If we must put up with him for another 4 years
(and, let's face it, we'll be damn lucky if it is
just 4 years given his past behavior)
then I say let us not allow an opportunity
to laugh go to waste.
Let's have some fun with it
(otherwise we'll go insane).
& the Rise of Trump
may not have been the future we envisioned
But let's not pretend this outcome isn't one long ago predicted.
The philosopher Aristotle warned us what would happen in a democracy where demagogues rose up and assumed immunity to the laws of that democracy.
"For in democracies where the laws are not supreme, demagogues spring up. . . . Demagoguery is to a democracy . . . what tyranny is to other forms of monarchy. The spirit of both is the same, and they alike exercise a despotic rule over the better citizens. The decrees of the [demagogues] correspond to the edicts of the tyrant . . . . Such a democracy is fairly open to the objection that it is not a constitution at all; for where the laws are no longer applied to a privileged few, including the demagogue, there is no constitution. The law ought to be supreme over all . . . .when that is no longer true, a constitutional republic no longer exists."
And so, my friends, being delighted that I will have four years of material falling into my lap courtesy of
the emperor who wears no clothes,
I humbly present to you:
