One of the talking heads on the news over the weekend said something that’s stuck in my brain.
“We basically childproofed the Presidency for this person, & now we’re going to have to childproof the transition.”
It’s astonishing how the country & the system has coddled this man.

Everything about the Presidency was made soft & easy for Trump. Literally large print & bright colors. Protected from consequences at every turn. A booster seat for every throne.
And he STILL fucked it up.
And we’re STILL covering the outlets & safety latching the cabinets!

No one wanted to call the election long after they would have for anyone else. We’re just allowing him to throw a tantrum & not concede. His people will sabotage transition & we won’t punish them for it
It is the apotheosis of warping the world for the ease of mediocre white men

Mueller literally seemed Trump’s offspring too stupid to prosecute, as though they’re children in juvenile court. Yet they too are coddled & given time to learn (they didn’t), given illegal posts & access.
Everything about these 4 years has been padded, proofed, & simplified.

Be absolutely certain Biden/Harris will get no such benefit of the doubt. If they does not fix the country long before inauguration, the whole political spectrum will scream for their head. It’s already started.
Such is the lot of a Democrat, progressive, liberal, or blue dog.

I do wish that’s something the progressive wing understood.
Progressives won’t be spared the unequal treatment, expectations, consequences, or short rope to make everything perfect by lunch any Democrat has to deal with.
In fact, it’ll probably be worse.

This country treats any even vaguely left policy like a female-led superhero movie.
We’ll try it once a decade or so just to shut you up. But if it’s not an instant all-time hit? Straight into the bin it goes for another 10-15.
Trickle-down dude heroes? A thousand chances.

The point is, we did child-proof the highest corridors of power so someone with the intelligence of a Happy Meal toy could use it.
Now we’re in the transition, & it’s still stuck on tutorial mode for this flaccid truck-horn of a human.
We still haven’t learned our lesson.

The disaster this transition is going to be is perhaps the best argument for Biden himself
He needs no training, he knows how it works, he doesn’t need Trump’s people to do diligence. That may mean more experienced bureaucrats than firebrands are needed, but that’s Trump’s fault

But the Biden administration will be on nightmare mode.
Everyone is mad, everyone expects their choices to be perfect or else, no safe spaces from consequences will be carved out no matter how they’re obstructed.
Only that well-done steak of a man gets those protective spells.

If the run-offs in Georgia don’t go blue, there is every reason to believe McConnell will deny Biden a cabinet, the most basic skeleton of an administration.
Dems thought Trump was entitled to one, as everyone always has been.
If the GOP can stop even that, they 100% will.

If the media doesn’t stop childproofing for Trump, this transition will be a new Hindenburg.
Attention & ratings are all he cares about. The GOP won’t lift a finger to stop the sabotage.
Stop pretending this beast is above truth, justice, & the rules.

I swear, we really are just going to ask him nicely to leave without destroying us like a big boy.
And if he doesn’t, I guess the memes will be spicy and not much else.
God damn, America, handle your squalling brat.
