What's the Path Back to Reality?

Did Alice in Wonderland ever find her way back to the "real" world?

What was the path she took to get there and back to reality?

Inquiring minds in America want to know how to restore the truth over the legions of lies spread around the country like toxic peanut butter by Trump and his minions.

If I recall right, there were a number of paths Alice took in her search for reality while encountering anthropomorphic creatures along the way.

Lewis Carroll's English children's novel was a prime example of the literary nonsense genre that was popular with adults as well as children in 1865.

It's similar to Trump's story (popular with extremist adults and kids) about The Big Lie. 

We've encountered worse creatures than Alice did, however.

For example, instead of taking advise from a giant worm smoking a hookah we have Kevin McCarthy smoking Trump's sausage.

In the book Alice was a guest at a "mad" tea party where she was bombarded with riddles.

Trump's Mad Insurrection Party held on Jan. 6, 2021, wasn't a mystery. It was a pre-planned assault on our democracy. 

At the end of the story Alice gets into an argument with the King and Queen who accused her of stealing tarts. She stands up to the whole deck of cards as they swarm her...and wakes up from the dream.

In the real-world America stood up to a swarm of cult-followers intent on decertifying a duly elected president to install a former president crazy as a the Madhatter.

But it was no dream. It was more like a nightmare. The worst part of this modern story is it's not over yet.
