A Political Evolution.

The word of the day is “thuggery.”

Check Google News and you’ll see that large numbers of journalists, cultural observers, and opinion columnists are using it to describe Donald Trump, and in particular the violence he’s whipping up at his rallies.

So how did the conservative movement turn into thuggery?

I

It started with briefs against buggery
And excitement about Atlas-Shruggery.

II

Then ordinary party skulduggery
Evolved into mad hugger-muggery.

III

Then out of his big triplex snuggery
Crawled America’s captain of thuggery.

**********************

UD‘s talented readers have augmented the uggery. (SOS has done some very light editing.)

IV

His fans, full of loutery and luggery,
Meet the oppo with to-the-nose sluggery.

V

Our UD for this deserves huggery.
Trump no more can flaunt out all his smuggery.

    Speaking of thuggery, Sanders supporters just shut down a Trump rally.

  4. Margaret Soltan Says:

    AYY: If the reports about Sanders supporters are true, there’s plenty of vileness to go around, yes.

    Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disruptors aren’t told to go to my events. Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours!

    It certainly is intriguing that the same Left that smiles benignly on the criminal thuggery of the Occupiers, BLM, etc. has finally discovered a kind of thuggery it can’t tolerate.

    The criminal thuggery of the BLM?

    UD, if your concern is about Michelle Fields’ claims, you might want to see this.
