Future Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos |
From our next Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos:
“I have decided to stop taking offense,” she wrote, “at the suggestion that we are buying influence. Now I simply concede the point. They are right. We do expect something in return. We expect to foster a conservative governing philosophy consisting of limited government and respect for traditional American virtues. We expect a return on our investment.”
“People like us,” she added archly, “must surely be stopped.”
And what American virtues would those be? Racism? Misogyny? Homophobia? How about unfettered greed? Or psychopathy? What about elitism? And Nazism? The War on Women? The War on Workers? The War on the poor? How about hate crimes? Lying? Or plain old hatred?
I'll give DeVos credit for at least being right on two points: First, billionaires like her and her husband, Dick DeVos, are definitely trying to buy our country, and second, even though it was said in sarcasm, she and her disgusting ilk must surely be stopped.
Democrats looking for a personification of all that is wrong with Trumpism would do well to start with the Wicked Witch of the White House, Betsy DeVos.
Fuck Donald Trump,
