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
Last year about this time Trump made a notorious pitch of Goya products from the Oval Office. It included this classic image, which deservedly received a massive amount of mocking on Twitter.
The event bothered me, in being bizarrely out of tune
Goya Beans & Tan Suits Thread 2/
Yes, Trump was making outrageous pitches for all kinds of products all the time. But even in that context, this Goya Beans day was bizarre. That bothered me, it did not fit the 'pattern' of Trump normal behavior, self-serving as that also was.
Goya Beans & Tan Suits Thread 3/
Today as I was reminded of the Goya day. I suddenly made the TIMING leap. Only a few days after Goya, was the TAN SUIT day. We did not know at the time but figured out soon enough afterwards, the full relevance of Tan Suit day in the White House
With news of a silly CPAC straw poll (Ron DeSantis will not be GOP nominee in 2024) that had Trump overwhelmingly winning the poll, let's take a first look at 2024 election and GOP nomination race. It is highly likely Joe will face Trump
First look at 2024 & 2028 Thread 2/
The CPAC poll is meaningless. I discussed it in this thread, showing past CPAC polls and the math, that the chances of the poll picking the GOP nominee is 13%. It is meaningless. It is SUMMER news FILLER garbage
In any normal election, the losing candidate - on BOTH sides - steps aside:
Hillary
Romney
McCain
Kerry
Gore
Dole
Daddy Bush
Mondale
Carter
Ford
McGovern
Humphrey
It is how US politics works. You don't piss in your own party's pool to lose 2x
CPAC met last weekend in Texas. They had a straw poll. Trump came on top of the straw poll (of course). When they asked if Trump is NOT on the ticket 2024, who do they want. Overwhelmingly CPAC straw poll picked this racist asshole bastard from Florida
CPAC Straw Poll Thread 2/
First. Let's be VERY clear. Florida's racist sexist mass murderer asshole Governor Death DeSantis #DeathSantis is a monster. He is Trump on steroids. He is living breathing proof of what becomes of GOP as they get ever more insane with the Maga sickness
CPAC Straw Poll Thread 3/
It is GOOD for us to consider the evil that is Ron DeSantis, so we see where the GOP is headed
But people are freaking out about the CPAC Straw Poll. As if Ron DeSantis is the 'front runner' of the 2024 GOP race for Presidential Nominee
So who is that Unindicted Co-Conspirator, Jeff McConney. He is the number 2 bookkeeper at Trump Org. Right hand man to Weisselberg. The Controller. So an accountant for 30 years with Trump. Is cooperating and has limited immunity for testifying to Grand Jury. This guy
What Jeff McConney testimony means, is the final nail to the Weisselberg 1 trial series of New York tax fraud. Because Manhattan DA has the double bookkeeping, all they need is this inside guy to tell what that bookkeeping is, and this case is closed
They do not NEED Weisselberg
Because the number 2 bookkeeper is testifying to Grand Jury, gets immunity, he will not be indicted. He will not go to prison (but will have to pay his own back taxes of course, which likely are of a scale of half a million dollars, when we compare to Weisselberg one million)
Second thing. What was Qevin McCarthy doing meeting Trump? It is early case study that illustrates the GOP nightmare that is Donald Trump
When they said this meeting is about 2022 election, we know that is not it. Both will lie instinctively to hide the truth.
Qevin was in NJ to meet Trump to discuss the Jan 6th Committee. The appointments. Qevin (and GOP) are at loggerheads with Trump. It is a lose-lose situation. But Qevin (and GOP) will face this same nightmare again, and again, and again going forward into 2022 and 2024 (and 2028)
Qevin thought he was doing what was best for GOP by refusing to name any GOP representatives to the House Select Committee on Jan 6th (Pelosi's Committee). She had foreseen this, made the rules give her TWO extra seats. She gave one of her extra seats to Liz Cheney the Republican
