        Garish On-Your-Face In-Your-Face Makeup at Twenty Paces

There are several forms of government:

Monarchy
Kakistocracy
Oligarchy
Autocracy
Democracy
­Anarchy

But Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk have given us
A new form of government via online spat
We’re ruled by cheerleader moms who shriek and cuss
So what is the scholarly Greek word for that?
Hey, red-caps, don’t start all-capping “WE’RE A REPUBLIC”; there is no
pure democracy and no pure republic, and in common usage they are
synonymous. Don’t just chant stuff you hear on the InterGossip. Read
an ordinary high school textbook on government (maybe not an Oklahoma adoption, though).
