I remember when Trump publicly entered politics with his escalator ride in 2015. With no chance as a Democrat, he switched parties. I had followed Trump since the mid 70's and knew of his considerable "baggage". I also knew that his phony "white tough guy" and "political outsider" image would have a certain appeal to rednecks, racists, and folks who didn't think that government worked for them. As such, I sat back and watched to see what would transpire.
Fast forward to the Access Hollywood tape. I just knew that there were enough decent voters to keep an admitted sex abuser from winning a presidential election. I was wrong.
Fast forward to four years of Trump corruption, lies and ineptness that cost hundreds of thousands of needless deaths with Covid, and an insurrection where law enforcement officers were beaten by rabid Trump worshippers. Once again, I thought there was no way this glorified "scumbag" would win another election. Once again, I was wrong.
After watching Trump control what we only thought were his "deplorable" followers, I still believed that there had to be a point where the Trump worshippers would say "enough is enough". Sadly, with Magas now defending Trump and condoning pedophilia, I no longer feel that any cellar exists. They have now whole-heartedly convinced me that their worshipping of Trump is not rooted in any political ideology, but is simply a manifestation of their own mental illness. In fact, I can't help but wonder what a Maga would do if Trump raped his/her underage daughter? The answer to that question should be clear, but given Maga's proven undying loyalty to Trump, the answer remains alarmingly unclear.
