In an unprecedented turn of events, the great state of Florida has once again become the epicenter of resourceful innovation, thanks to its own master architect of political theater, Governor Ron DeSantis. With a flourish of paper-thin allegory and an impeccably timed swish of the pen, DeSantis has transformed the swamps with Alligator Alcatraz, Florida’s newest answer to the country’s so-called undocumented visitor problem. Nestled snugly among gators and pythons, this avant-garde detention center showcases how Floridian ingenuity marries environmental hazards with immigration control.
The illustrious President Trump, joined by the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, recently graced the facility. In a display of compassionate conservatism, the detention center boasts tents and trailers rather than air-conditioned comfort and plush bunks. It’s heartwarming to see our benevolent leaders turning a new cheek, so to speak, as opposed to the Democrat-run mistresses of mismanagement like New York City, where taxpayer dollars evaporate faster than ice in the summer heat, funding extravagant hotel stays for these self-styled wayfarers.
Enter Donald Trump, whose ever-diplomatic approach to queries about reptilian justice left no margin for misunderstanding. Yes, he affirmed the wild idea proposed by the media that escapees may find themselves dinner for nearby alligators. It’s just business, after all—a new brand of Trumpian hospitality sure to dissuade potential rule-benders. And let’s not forget, these accommodations spare native Floridians the burden of having to deal with these matters personally without the looming threat of lawsuits from our left-leaning comrades.
Hollywood, of course, has entered the fray with theatrical indignation. Never shy of creative hyperbole, they’ve likened Alligator Alcatraz to historically somber sites. With all the flair of an off-Broadway drama, these luminaries lament the fate of ‘brown people’ which, ever-unspecified, shorthand for anyone with a suntan in sight, are now held hostage by the alligator lobby. The show includes a special guest appearance by former MSNBC firebrand, now charismatic YouTuber, underscoring the point that even when one leaves the war room, they never quite leave the fight behind.
Amidst this cacophony, celebrities and the ever-watchful progressive hawks preach the perils our electoral choices have wrought. They’ve revealed, in classic tinsel town fashion, that it is not Trump, but those who cast their votes for him, who are the real criminals. Because, heaven forbid, a voter has an opinion. Still, while they huff and puff from their ivory towers, Trump’s approval rating among Republicans continues to climb, proving yet again that once you go orange, you never go back. At the end of the day, it’s safe to say that while some folks prune their prize-winning roses, others are just fine with a bit of mud-wrestling in the political swamp.
