Things Don’t Go Better With Koch

Koch's Monster

So we learn that even billionaire “libertarian” Charles Koch opposes Trump’s tariffs. According to several sources, he has funded a “free enterprise” organization intended to stop Trump and his tariffs if at all possible.

Of course you have to applaud that. But you also have to think that there is a good deal of too little, too late here. And let’s not forget that the Koch brothers have been among the most powerful movers and shakers who set up the whole nightmarish reality that we find today in Washington. It was they and people like them, other “libertarians” (a term which, as near as I can tell, means “all power to Kleptocrats, and everyone else can go suck an egg”) who worked so very hard to create the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy and put the Donald into office a second time.

I wonder how that feels. That is, to know that your creation is a monster beyond redemption? That it threatens everyone? And, if left to itself, could cause the literal end of the world…

Can’t be fun. Like being Dr. Frankenstein.

But without the genius of Mary Shelly.
