> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > On the other hand, I have heard all kinds of stories (mostly on NPR) where they interviewed Trump voters, both before and after the election, and many of them said “I don’t really think he will or can do all those things, I just want to shake things up because Washington is completely broken” or words to that effect. So maybe the faithful aren’t particularly rabid about particular programs, as they are about having things different. “If it ain’t fixed, hit it harder.” Meanwhile, while Trump is engorging himself on deep fried food and populst jingoism, [Mike Pence](http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/jamesbond/images/7/78/Emilio_Largo_%28Adolfo_Celi%29_-_Profile.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130507225353) and lieutenant [Kellyanne Conway](http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/jamesbond/images/2/22/Fiona_Volpe_%28Luciana_Paluzzi%29_-_Profile.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130507230318) are using the distraction to align a crack team of far-right pundits and influentials into taking over the basic apparatus of government for their own nefarious ends. The trick is looking away from Trump to see where the action is actually going on. Reality in this country is now essentially a Bond movie as penned by David Mamet. We can only hope that the British see to it to send their top operative to the US to save us from ourselves. I just hope they [haven’t already sent their best](https://www.yahoo.com/tv/watch-john-oliver-tell-stephen-colbert-about-his-worst-stand-up-gig-ever-175607160.html), because we’re probably fucked.
