I sort of get the cult of Reagan. Sort of. He was an actor, so he was pretty skilled at conveying a message.
His message was so strong, it blocked out the reality of his destructive policies...

So I can understand the smoke and mirrors that people could hide behind...

...but Donald Trump??

A two bit hustler, a fraud, known for decades for his cons and grifts, his failures, his bankruptcies, his scandals. Crude, vulgar, ignorant, uneducated.

This is who the Republicans are forming a cult behind??

Really?

I am not talking about the average Republican or right winger on the street, I am talking about the Republican PARTY, the “GOP”.

People like Senator Kennedy who went to OXFORD, elitists, lawyers, wealthy, educated, people like Josh Hawley...

Trump??????? It’s mind boggling.

...and beyond that, they are actually going to stand behind Q-Anon and cop killers?

(Imagine that had been any group on the left that gouged out the eye of a cop, storming the Senate chamber)

They are going to throw over LIZ CHENEY. Liz Cheney?????? In favor of Marjorie Greene?

What crazy alternative reality are they all living in?

How do they see this as viable?

Again, just mind boggling...
