    The metaphors, I keep insisting and complaining, are becoming too goddamn literal.https://twitter.com/jeffzeleny/status/1321291021146357767 …

    President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally. “We need at least 30 more buses,” an Omaha police officer just said, shaking his head at the chaotic cluster that is unfolding.

        Fortunately, the pro-Trump media will stand up for Trump vs. these Nebraska losers. Unfair to criticize Trump just because he stranded thousands of loyal fans in a 31 degree night. They're nasty people, okay? Right, @NRO? Right @hughhewitt? Right, @WSJopinion? Right, @FDRLST?

        Apparently, it's also cold. He literally left them out in the cold. They're like an abused spouse who keeps going back to their abuser.

        “The chaotic cluster” is 2020-speak for “clusterf$#k” in the same way 1973-74 had “barnyard epithet.”

        Authoritarianism is and has always been so tacky. Not being sarcastic. Bad taste is a signal of emptiness and falsity.

        There are no metaphors. Not now, not for the past several years. There is simply the stark reality before us.
