Let's Extend the 'Game of Thrones' Analogy, Shall We?

New York Times opinion writer Maureen Dowd today turned over the bulk of her column to her right-wing brother Kevin, who used the space to gloat over Trump's Electoral College victory. It seems that, along with some Trump "champagne," he brought a little statuette of Cersei, the conniving queen of Game of Thrones, to the family's Thanksgiving dinner. That was to represent the now-vanquished Hillary Clinton.

Well, if Clinton is Cersei, then Trump is Ramsay Bolton, the woman-abusing sociopath of the North and everybody's favorite "man you love to hate" for the past several seasons. Let's hope some Jon Snow (i.e., charismatic progressive) rises from the dead (the current disarray of the Democratic Party) to beat the crap out of Ramsay before turning him over to Sansa Stark (women everywhere), who then feeds him to his own starving dogs (the legions of working-class Trump supporters he will surely betray).
