Lets gander at today’s political timeline map.

We started the day amidst POTUS and VP firing the Repeal cannon with enough force to shake the resolve of steadfast Democrats, Obamacare’s clock tower crumbling in a cloud of flaming dust, and from the divided Republicans; Alt Right, New Right, Establishment and even Never Trumpers, voracious battle cries echoed the streets of this Cold Civil War. Victory, it would seem, was at hand.

The rectangular screens of our nation lit up with capitalist ideology. Spit balled free market health care options poured from the lime light. Heads talked. Voices rang out. Eyes went wide with the dazzling possibilities of liberty marching into the health care sector once again.

Democrats, however, are masters of retreat. Taking fortified positions upon the stone ruins of Obamacare, they concentrated heavy fire on the sloppily ambitious armies of the New Right. With the help of a surprising ally, the Anti Defamation League, sent them for cover in the firing line of the Alt Right, thoroughly, yet temporarily, decapitating the ambition of both.

This, of course, was not enough to stem the positional advances of a well disciplined Establishment Republican force, who took control of both social media and the D.C. rumor mill with confidence, further pounding the resolve of beleaguered Democrats.

With retreat threatening to instantiate in the souls of once fearless Progressive operatives, a propaganda warhead was launched in a hasty counter attack. Fight back with heart left wing soldiers! For you are not fighting Americans! You are fighting the Russians! POTUS is a Russian General! The floundering airwaves projectile vomited yesterdays half regurgitated narratives, with a muted glimmer of horror in their collective eye, praying this time it would stick.

Again the little screens of our nation fired up, batteries charging, emojis blazing. The battle erupted once more. Red pills cracked against shoddy helmets. Hashtags strangled in the darkness. Trenches were dug in the hearts of brothers.

Somewhere, in the distance, Shadilay could be faintly heard.
