Unless you live under a rock, you likely saw star witness Melissa Carone testifying at the Michigan election hearings at the behest of that crotch-grabbing, apelike fart machine known as Rudy Giuliani. To Trump Supporters, he’s the Great Ape of the GOP. To his detractors, he’s a sad little monkey banging conspiratorial cymbals (symbols) together in hopes of making a few bucks before his battery runs out.

Carone’s daftly aggressive, self-proclaimed expert testimony at the so-called hearings went viral because her seemingly drunken, completely unproven claims about results from that state’s election were so far-fetched even her hairdo could not seem to keep up with the madness. The crazies seemed to be spewing out the top of her cranium.

The United States is repeatedly plagued by drama of this nature. It is being driven by claims of Republicans (with and without hair) that the election was fixed. All these claims have proven pointless, false and outright scandalous in court. But they keep parading new monkeys in front of judges across the country. More cymbals. More clashes.

The reality show spectacle of modern day politics is a carnival side show highlighted by the GOP’s witless attraction to the hot mess world of blathering blondes and quasi-attractive female attack dogs who earn their keep saying things only the terminally ditzy dare utter in public. Sarah Palin turned out to be the rule, not the exception. They wanted to make her Vice President of the United States, but she sounded quite a bit like Melissa Carone at times.

But Carone takes the hapless blather to a new level. It is also no coincidence that the ecklessly bold hairstyle of Melissa Carone holds quite a parallel to the tragically coiffed visage of Donald Trump. But truth be told, he’s far more vain, drama-driven and idiotic than any female in history. His hairdo is symbolic of a desperate brand of vanity and a need for complimentary attention bordering on sociopathy.* He’s a freak, in other words.

The affectations of the terminally vain do matter. They legitimately warn us that appearances do matter. That is especially true when it comes to toxic personalities disguising themselves as credible human beings. The sight of Rudy Giuliani’s bad makeup job running down his face during a press conference is proof that he’s busy hiding something, and failing at it.It may be fear over his crumbling persona or his cymbal-clashing loyalty to his Monkey Master Donald Trump. In any case his appearance and behavior are a sickness of spirit on full display.

The fact that Trump’s supporters so easily dismiss these painfully obvious signals of disturbed minds is evidence of the tribal nature that an ugly jungle ethic has produced these days in America. The vigilante justice hiding just outside the Beltway is no more sophisticated or considerate than a band of murderous chimpanzees.

Are Trump supporters stupid? That’s not the right question. They are tribally devoted. They follow the orders of those in power. That’s far more dangerous than being stupid. That’s the militia mentality at work in America today. It is primal, racist, nationalistic and frankly, quite evil. And Trump loves it.

It is simply unacceptable to cheer on a being whose claims to authority are so base they represent a step backward in human evolution. We should never malign a beast so nobly earnest as the orangutan, and that is not the intention here. But when it comes to the lower instincts of primates in general, we have to consider both appearances and facts. Donald Trump appears to be functioning at a cognizance level just below human most of the time. He refuses to read even the most basic information assigned to his job. He denigrates medicine and science.

As a point of consideration about the face of this blunt trauma mentality, one of these photos is an image of an angry Donald Trump. The other is an apparently disturbed orangutan. See if you can honestly tell the difference?

The point we’re making here is that supporting Donald Trump constitutes a step back from what civilized people believe about human society. The display of sloppy rhetoric combined with primal gossip by Melissa Carone serves as a textbook example of cultural devolution. It’s hidden behind sex and ritualized behavior just like it is in nature, but the purposes are the same. It’s about gaining and keeping control over others.

True to form, Carone behaved like a snotty little monkey at the zoo flinging shit against the windows to disturb the onlookers and get a reaction out of everyone. This is how Trump behaves as well. When he leaves, they’re going to have to hose down the insides of the windows at the White House. He’s been holed up flinging shit at the world for weeks now.

This is what we’ve been reduced to in America. It’s long past time to admit that Trumpian Zoo is a failed experiment in jungle despotism. He needs to be sent back to his own cage in Mar-A-Lago where he can carouse with the likes of Melania and Melissa and please himself openly without our having to put up with his lowbrow antics and greedy Banana Republic appeals.

Let the man have his grunting mates and a lacivious harem. That’s how he likes to live, and he has the right to do so. It’s just not what the Founding Fathers had in mind for a civilized nation like the United States of America.
