Watching the shenanigans of the current U.S. administration feels for all the world like watching a pack of five year olds acting out. Which may be why something about it has been nagging at my brain.
I think I finally have it. These people remind me of the “He-Man Woman Haters Club” from the Spanky and Our Gang movie shorts in the 1930s.
All the stories in those films were essentially about a gang of little boys trying to punch way above their weight. And like our current president, those little boys had a definite problem with equality between the sexes.
Spanky’s club even had an anthem: “We Are He-Man Woman Haters… We Feed Girls To Alligators”. That also might help to explain why the president decided to call his fancy new concentration camp “Alligator Alley”.
