Republican Winkies
The Winkies were the marching guards for the Wicked Witch in Wizard of Oz. In the famous scene, Dorothy throws a bucket of water on the witch and everyone watches to see what will happen. Once the witch has melted away there is a pause before the Winkie leader shouts, “You killed her!” Dorothy babbles on about not meaning to, and there is another pause and he shouts, “Hail Dorothy!”
And you knew at that moment the Winkies had never loved the witch, but had only been loyal out of fear.
The Republican Party is at a crossroads. Trump dumped a bucket of water on himself on January 6, and all the world is watching. It remains to be seen whether the West will be ruled by a relieved and disciplined old school guard—
Or a bunch of flying monkeys.
