What does the current presidential administration have in common with professional wrestling?

Well, a cabinet officer used to run pro wrestling, and will probably go back to that job (or to jail like other cabinet stooges) when this nightmare of a presidency is over. And, the photo at the top is real. The Orange Menace is in a wrestling ring, shaving the head of the husband of the pro wrestling cabinet officer.

But here’s a better reason we’re in a post-WWE administration:

The incontinent, corrupt, racist, xenophobic pedophile is definitely a MAGA favorite, because he not only doesn’t demand they use their brains, but he also encourages them to remain clueless. The guy with the dead mangy fox on his head is their P.T. Barnum, and “There’s a sucker born every minute” is a complicated concepts they don’t get.

Nothing has to make sense in MAGA world. The only thing that matters is this:

An overwhelming majority of Kentuckians (65%) voted for the dystopia we now live in. They saw the clown car and decided, “Yea! I wanna ride in that.” Here’s the election map from 2024:

The only areas that had the sense to not want that menace in office contain the state’s two biggest cities: Louisville and Lexington.

While most of Kentucky conflated the reality show host with an actual businessman and leader, people who had no desire for a pro wrestling administration saw this:

For the Republican, right wing, GOP, MAGA, Tea Party troll who’s saying, “No, it wasn’t anything like that,” remember this?

The majority of Kentuckians who wonder if they’re ever going to get out of poverty, if they’ll ever have health care, if their children will get decent educations, if they can afford to be alive, voted for this. They have a chance to undo the damage in November during the midterm elections. But I have little faith they’re going to atone, because, even today, they don’t think they did anything wrong.
