13. The brothers Grimm would faint if they saw us now

As would Hans Christian Andersen.
Wicked witches threatening to cook and eat children, and dying mermaids pale in comparison to what we now face. (Spoiler alert: the Little Mermaid did not fare so well in the book as did her Disney cinematic character).

And that reinforces TLP’s message here. We as a nation should be well beyond fairytales as we decide our future.

Meanwhile — much like HC Andersen’s literary emperor — the Cowardly Lyin’ Traitor continues his naked procession, walking more proudly than ever. (Sorry for that visual, but it reinforces my point here).
