Tent poles
Hi
Once you let way too smug and smart men like X call those kinds of shots, play God for all seasons and all reasons, it was over. You might as well pull the democratic tent poles and phone in for Joe Stalin to make a comeback.
What does "pull the democratic tent poles" mean? Does it really have something to do with tents and poles or is it some metaphore?
