19. in every version of the Faust myth

there is a point where Faust, realizing he sold his soul to the devil, and that hell is here to collect, starts ranting and panicking. Joe the scab is no Christopher Marlowe, no Goethe, but he realizes that history will remember him for helping make Donald Trump possible. Hell I'm surprised Donald Trump has and offered him the position of the cabinet, he certainly did enough to earn it. I'm sure Mika is looking after her own interest as well. The point is Joe and Mika realize they sold their souls, and is unlikely as it seems now, there will be a time when Trump's curtain gets pulled away like the Wizard of Oz. When that happens people will turn on those that help to bring them to the sad state of affairs. I'm not saying it will be some glorious revolution the way some hope it would be, with Mika and Joe scab being marched to the guillotine. But it will involve disgrace, it will involve shame, and it probably will involve a lot of losing money, which to these folks is worse than death, it is hell.

Oh Mika Faust, oh Joe Faust,, as Black Sabbath would say, "this is near the end my friend, Satan's coming around the bend."
