winds spawned by the One named "Vortex", they wailed and stomped their feet as they blew on their chafed hands and demanded "Who is to blame for this frigid curse that bursts our pipes and leaves us in cold darkness? Tell us, we pray, that we might smite them and cast them into the pit of burning irrationality!
Was it the radical socialists?
The deep state snowflakes?
Soros-funded operatives?
Who hast so offended the Powers That Be that they have sent such cold to chap our woofies?"
"DO NOT INQUIRE ABOUT THAT WHICH YE KNOW DAMN WELL!" thundered a Great Voice---(possibly Morgan Freeman)---"Verily, THOU hast brought this frosty curse down upon thine own heads! Knowing full well that it was a great wrong which would bring the stench of vile corruption to the nostrils of all who are thoughtful, thou cast thy lot with the likes of Cruz and Cornyn and Abbot and Paxton and that Prince of Darkness wannabe---TRUMP!
Do not ask for whom the cold wind blows; IT BLOWS FOR THEE!
THOU ARE MIGHTILY SCREWN!"

It has succeeded well with this goal.
