Nobody. There is no analogy to the characters themselves, just between the number of Harry Potter movies and the number of years that Donald J. Trump will be president of the United States of America.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

Well technically the Dems could have stopped any voting by staging an armed revolt and holding the Senate floor hostage but chose not to. If you think about it that makes them just as bad as the Republicans really.

Teva (for example) could probably make and sell generic dichlorphenamide for its original on-label use of glaucoma and just have providers rx it off label for periodic paralysis. But when we're talking about such rare conditions in the first place then there's probably not enough money to be made considering the legal risks.

This will be one of those posts that is mostly satirical right now, but when it's quoted/linked some time in the near future it will be regarded as absolutely the most dead sober correct assessment anyone could make of the elected dems at this point in time.

quote:

The big question that has been on everyone’s minds since January? What could robo-Trump possibly say that would both sound like him and appeal to a family-friendly audience? The whole thing about Mexican rapists probably wouldn’t fly. And calling the intelligence community Nazis probably wouldn’t sound too great. That stuff about grabbing women by the pussy is definitely out.

A clip posted by the website WDW Magic shows that George Washington introduces Trump, who then recites the oath of office. He then says:

"From the beginning, America has been a nation defined by its people. At our founding, it was the American people who rose up to defend our freedoms and win our independence. It was why our founders began our great constitution with three very simple words: we the people. Since that moment, each generation of Americans has taken its place in the defense of our freedom, our flag, and our nation under God.

These are the achievements of the American spirit—the spirit of a people who fought and died to bring the blessings of liberty to all our people. Above all, to be an American is to be an optimist, to believe that we can always do better and that the best days of our great nation are still ahead of us. It’s a privilege to serve as the president of the United States, to stand here among so many great leaders of our past, and to work on behalf of the American people."
This is how monsters get normalized.

You don't want to include the bits that made him stand out and brought his voters to the polls, because the things he said that brought him to power are grotesque, and you are concerned about mass appeal. So instead of capturing his essence as a political figure, you fill his persona with inert stuffing, put it on display, and say to everyone that this intentional misrepresentation of him... is him.
