Oh, the grand old man of the Senate, McConnell, is finally exiting stage left after a spectacularly undemocratic performance. What a perfect exit for the man who helped create the mess America’s democracy is in now! His 40 years in the Senate? A masterclass in obstructionism, a testament to how one man can grind the wheels of representative democracy to a halt. And to think, he was once a ‘Republican leader.’ Ha! He’s the living embodiment of the adage that ‘power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ His legacy? A nation that’s less free and more vulnerable to the whims of autocrats and billionaires. The irony of him now voicing ‘dissent and discontent’ is as funny as it is tragic. It’s like a arsonist suddenly decrying the smoky air. When America’s democracy gets smothered, McConnell can rest easy knowing he’s left a lasting imprint on the very canvas he’s destroyed.
