The Evil lurking below

I watched the disturbing video linked-to below and was appropriately distressed at the violence and ruthlessness of this  predatory creature.

And yet, upon reflection, it seemed to me an apt metaphor for the evil slouching its way towards Washington D.C.
It has sharp mouth hooks which trap and injure its prey. It has an underground body that consists of many segments all of them ugly and hungry; and it takes beautiful free creatures and through deception and violence converts them to foul worm droppings. All in all a pretty close metaphor for what our democracy is currently swimming to ever more closely.
