The Return of the Penniless Pensioner: Chapter 12: A Dictator Grooms America: Intellectual and Showboat Inner Party Leaders Needed!

In addition to the crude and brutal physical storm troopers like The Shame Boys and The Oath Breakers who terrorize, burn books, bash heads and participate in highly orchestrated performances to further America’s Golden Age such as the notorious (or glorious to some) 6thtober a more “sophisticated” and identifiable gang is required to manage their specialized bureaucracies and push ahead the myth of the Golden Age. Often, they are captains of industry like Moron Tusk but they can be attack dogs with vendettas against those who dare criticize the tenets of the Golden Age like Cashew Pooptell Director of the FBI. Entertainment personalities such as Zeke Hogshead as Secretary of Defence give some pizzazz and popularity to potentially “boring” governmental matters. There can be flamboyant characters in the “inner circle” like cowboy hatted Cristal “Yee Haw” Numbhead as Secretary of Homeland Paranoia. Government is part entertainment, isn’t it?

Easy to build your “senior management group” but it is more difficult but not impossible to tear down the existing structure like the judiciary, armed forces, legislators, media and clergy.
