The Left Wages War On Donald Trump, Its Godzilla

Last week, in downtown DC, I was treated up-close-and-personal to Greenpeace’s banner unfurled -- two intrepid activists dangling from it to provide ballast -- from the top of a 270-foot-high crane rising above the crater of the old Washington Post building proclaiming RESIST. It was a picturesque manifestation of the War on Trump with some of my own snapshots ending up being featured on Facebook's The Trump Revolution page.

I promptly called up my old arch-nemesis, Patrick Reinsborough. He is one of the Secret Masters of the Anarcho-Populist Universe, one of the chief architects of the epic “Battle in Seattle” against the WTO and of the massive protest against the World Bank and IMF, Washington A16, 2000. Since then he, presumably, has been systematically mentoring new generations of aspiring Sith Lords.

This is how we met. The World Bank and IMF then were as much demonized by the right as the left, and rightly so. So, I joined the protest. I failed to recruit other conservatives, leaving me, after the departure of one pal, the only visible suit in a sea of denim. I was enthralled. And determined to figure out who was orchestrating that massive protest.

It is no simple thing to figure out who's “in charge” in an ocean of anarchists. But I noted a tall young man dressed in a sharp blazer and well-pressed slacks carrying a walkie-talkie. This, testimony to my antiquity, was in 2000, before cellphones.

I approached him and said, “Pardon me. I covet one of those batik flags lashed to the lampposts and propose to liberate one for my collection.” To which he replied, “Oh sir, please don’t do that. They’re private property and promised to the Smithsonian. You can purchase one on our website.”(continued)

If my childhood memory serves me well, I believe that Godzilla generally tore his opponent a new rectal sluice, then wandered off into the ocean for a cocktail..........
