(288 posts)During the great terror in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, when Stalin would enter a party meeting two things would happen: 1) Stalin would enter the room while he applauded himself, just like Trump does. 2) The faithful Party members would applaud for extended periods, afraid to be the first to stop and sit down. Rumor had it that Stalin & his secret police would note who stopped clapping and sat first. These people would be the next to be purged as "enemies of the state". Apparently the applause would go on and on, sometime to the point of bleeding hands.
Trump (the Great Orange Turd) will purge those that do not kiss his big fat ass using his Twitter account. Offenders will be purged by primary voters and banished. I suppose that this does not evoke the same fear as a bullet to the back of the head, but the fear of decreased income and influence keeps the Republican Party faithful in line.
