There’s an old saying: the tail wagging the dog. It’s meant to describe something small controlling something much larger, flipping the natural order. But right now, the image isn’t just about influence—it’s about misdirection.
Imagine the current administration as a massive dog, its tail thrashing wildly, demanding attention. The media, the public, even the opposition—all are fixated on this hypnotic motion. The latest scandal, the inflammatory tweet, the sudden controversy—each a deliberate flick of the tail, an expertly timed distraction. Meanwhile, on the other end of the dog, out of sight, something far more consequential is happening. The jaws of power are clamping down, tearing into resources, rights, and regulations, chewing them up and swallowing them whole. By the time people shift their gaze, the damage is done. The tail wags, the dog devours.
But there’s another way to look at it.
What if, instead of being a tool of deception, the wagging tail becomes a force of reckoning? What if the people—the grassroots movements, the collective energy of those paying attention—begin to shake things up? What if the dog, feeling this shift, is forced to turn and take notice? When the tail wags hard enough, the dog has no choice but to respond. It hesitates before its next bite, reconsidering what it consumes. The power dynamics shift. The wagging tail is no longer a distraction—it’s an awakening.
And then, there’s a third image. A darker one.
A political cartoon comes to life: the administration, the power structure, the system itself, standing smugly as the tail sways back and forth, keeping eyes locked in place. But what happens when someone dares to look past the distraction? When they stop watching the movement and instead lift the tail to see what’s underneath?
The truth stares them right in the face. And it reeks.
Because underneath the theatrics, the outrage cycles, the carefully curated chaos, there’s something undeniable: corruption, decay, rot. The wagging tail isn’t just a diversion—it’s cover for a mess too foul to be exposed. But the moment enough people lift the tail and see it for what it is, the illusion collapses. The real question is: will we keep watching the tail, or will we dare to look at what’s been hidden all along?
