Insurrection is the new little black dress. Worn with a necklace
of non-factual glass beads and alternative facts earrings, it is all the rage (except
for the actual rage of seeing a seditionist thug just go back to the golf
course). Throw in some off the shoulder chants of kill her or hang
him and the young go-getter is all set for a day of mayhem and treason. Don’t
have a date? Looking for a proud boy or an oath keeper or maybe just a yellow-bellied
GOP senator? We’ve got ‘em by the state-full. If you’re leaning toward toady yes-men/women
who like Glocks/spears/baseball bats and police shields you’ve found your home!
Your new dress will look fabulous at any event where racist and Holocaust
deniers gather; where lost cause flags fly; where the feeling of entitlement can
be cut with a knife.
Verb: meanders a circuitous journey, especially an aimless one. Noun: (of a speaker or text) proceed aimlessly or with little purpose; (of a person) wander at random. Orgin late 16th century (as a noun): from Latin maeander, from Greek Maiandros, the name of a river. (A favorite -- A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourse.)
