This is the Vise-Grip affect:
Go back to 2008, when everyone had a Vise-Grip attached to their left ball and really tightened down. When thinking about Shrub, it hurt so goddam much that people were squealing in agony and only 10% were saying “This is OK!”
Now Shrub has been gone for 8 1/2 years, and Drumpf is Large and In Charge. The Vise-grip has been reattached to everyone’s left ball at the same level of tightness.
But after eight years of Obama Derangement Syndrome, the victims smile and say “Oh, this is so much better!”
In the Navy, we called it the telephone pole effect, as in how far one was shoved up our ass.
