Drunk With Power

It makes you stop and think: why are they surrounding themselves with fences, razor wire, and the National Guard?  What are they hatching that they fear will kindle the fires of revolt?  They are talking in alarming fascist terms: suppression of opposition speech, the jailing of not just a handful of insurgents, but thousands of conservatives; they are pushing for gun control, seeking to not only consolidate power but to assure one-party rule in perpetuity.  Emboldened by their success in bending the rules to install an impaired president and hammer through pork-laden legislation, they may feel that nothing stands in their way. They are drunk with power, as all their progressive dreams are there for the taking.
