Is Trump the Lord of the Flies and his administration

[Raven]

the boys on the island?

[PJMcK]

1. No.

Lord of the Flies is fiction.

The Trump administration is reality.

[Raven]

2. I'm aware of that. I think you misunderstood my question. n/t

[PJMcK]

3. Nah, I'm just being grumpy 'cause I've been sick for two weeks!

I know you were making an analogy.

Enjoy your afternoon, Raven. Sorry for being a curmudgeon. Now, can you get off my damn lawn!

4. Sure

The "Lord of the Flies" is the devil inside us, projected outward. In Willam Golding's boozed-up, misanthropic view even little kids are blood-lusting killers with only the veneer of civilization preventing them from acting out.

I disagree with the book's premise, but I agree with your comparison.

Trump is nothing. He's a dead body, a pig-head, a hallucination. He doesn't have the physical power to cross the street.

His believers gave him power.

That power can kill, and does kill even those who don't believe.

[Raven]

5. I am in awe of your response. It's what I was thinking but I could never

have expressed/explained it as well as you just did.

6. Actually, Pootie's the lord

And Dump is a fly. That's why he's surrounded by MAGATs!
