(with Susie Wiles keeping accounts), and once they accumulate enough points they get a prize, like a pair of oversized Florsheim shoes. But if they don't have enough points they get a mean remark on social media leading to death threats from MAGA. So they have to keep gargling Piggy's balls in public so they get enough points to win the prizes, which of course they have to wear or display so they are properly humiliated and MAGA knows it so they and their families aren't threatened with kidnapping, rape, torture and death. Why else would Rubio shuffle around in shiny black clown shoes, and why would Scott Pissant say things that would sound over the top in North Korea?

about how Hitler paid his generals for loyalty, like $1.4 million a year (today's equivalent). No reason to doubt compensation is not involved.

And whatever he gives them has to be public so it can be used as both a carrot and a stick.
