The birtherism was the start of it, the escalator was the lighter fluid, the inauguration was the padded cell.

Escalator as in moving stairs or accelerant as in a substance used to spread fires?

Funny thing about art, it is far more metaphor than literal. But even art tells the truth.
I actually am being very literal in how Trump followers are willing to follow him off a cliff.
Trump used the imagery of dominance in starting at the top of the escalator, in a ridged physical position of dominance and power, to assert his wealth and power, to come down that escalator and assert authority. He knew it would play to his bigoted base. It was an accelerant.

Fuck you.
No, it doesn’t apply to the last four years at all. You need to learn to look beyond the title.

I was wondering where you were the last couple of days. I'm going to guess trying to recover from a botched ice pick lobotomy.

Lawyers, guns, and money...what a blast from the past. I hadn't thought about that song in ages.
