I am posting a series of Threads about Trump cult, Cult45 #Cult45 the Maganutters who wear his hats. This is Part 8 of that analysis. We now look at how is the Republican Party, the GOP, dealing with Trump's Magamad mob
It is not a happy fairy tale
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 2/
This is Part 8 of a series of Threads that do deep analysis of Cult 45, the Maga cult of Trump. The 7 parts build upon each other and lead to this 8th part. You need to read them first. You find all at this link
This discussion is for grown-up adults, sane rational people. I will not tolerate disruption
If you post any question that illustrates to me, you skipped the previous 7 parts, where it had been answered, I will not answer you
I will just block you
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 4/
(I trust you have now read all previous 7 parts)
Today we shift the focus from Trump dealing with the bizarre cult that bears his name, to how the Republican party, the GOP (Grand Old Party) deals with the cult. I will set you up with an analogy
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 5/
GOP leadership deals with the Trump Cult, Cult45, like an older suddenly-enlightened brother joins parents, to sustain illusion of Santa Claus to the younger sister, who still believes
"Tomi, you may not shatter this illusion for your little sister"
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 6/
GOP Leadership SEES the truth. They know Trump delusions are lies.
But like my analogy, they must 'play along' like Tomi big brother in to his little sister. We know Santa is not real, but we must sustain this illusion, because SHE still believes.
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 7/
Because the Maga cult has adopted a 'them or us' bunker mentality, EVERY magalie must be held as truth
And anyone who dares to disagree with ANY of the dogma, must be kicked out (like Liz Cheney from leadership)
And now the lies get wilder & wilder
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 8/
Take the Big Lie. Immediately after January 6th, around the second Impeachment many House Republicans including Qevin McCarthy, and many Senate Republicans including #MoscowMitch McTurtle said Trump was to blame
But not anymore
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 9/
Now the GOP kiss the ring of Trump, Qevin McCarthy just visited Trump and are NOT extinguishing the Big Lie. This is the NEWER more virulent Maga, post Trump Presidency. The lie it wants to believe, is that Trump comes back. That Trump is reinstated
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 10/
On my Santa Claus analogy, it is like the child demands, Santa will ALSO come in July, and turn me into Superman so I can fly
This is a DANGEROUS lie. It encourages terrorism domestically by the lunatics. It is also POLITICALLY a suicidal strategy
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 11/
The 'election was stolen' lie carries a series of corrosive lies, like the fake audit in Arizona. This erodes trust in the elections themselves
But not by all voters!
This ONLY damages the REPUBLICAN voters, who watch Fox (#FixFox). They doubt
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 12/
Some REPUBLICAN voters now doubt the votes overall, the election system overall. And keep SOWING THE SEED OF DOUBT to their base. It cannot produce MORE votes. It CAN suppress THEIR VOTE
The damage will last DECADES - on THEIR SIDE
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 13/
It is absolute political madness for the SMALLER party, to suppress THEIR OWN VOTE.
Same with #Covidiots. Only GOP & Fox viewers fear vaccinations. WE know the truth. Covid will from here forwad kill DISPROPORTIONATELY their voters, not ours
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 14/
When Qevin McCarthy made his Faustian bargain with Trump, he sealed the fate of HOUSE Republicans. Now they are hostage to Gym Jordan, Steve Scalise & Louie Gohmert madness. (echoed by Marjorie Three Names, Lauren Boebert etc)
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 15/
#MoscowMitch McTurtle had the chance to rid the GOP of Trump, in Second Impeachment Trial
It will go down as the biggest political blunder of all time. Mitch PERSONALLY made sure that their Frankenstein's Monster will stay alive to destroy the GOP
Trump Cult45 & GOP Thread 16/
Almost all Republicans in Congress are in the ever wilder Santa Claus illusion fairy tale, told to the delusional Maga. If not, Trump will be angry, and call them out. And then the magamad Cult45 will attack & destroy those political careers.

The End of Part 8. There will be a Part 9 to this story
On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'
Let's do a Thread
GAG ORDER THREAD/2
Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST
GAG ORDER THREAD/3
Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY
But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me
We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate
FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice
The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six..
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT
Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime
Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart
Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid
General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot
Next...
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:
VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron
Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is
Let's do a Thread
New York New York Thread /2
So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was
New York New York Thread /3
Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie
What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker
DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker
BUT DEMs could make a deal
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker
Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney
Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now
This is the deal I suggest:
DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week
With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump
Flipper Thread/2
Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason
So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr
Flipper Thread/3
Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal
