Excerpts: "It was all so much fun for the right wingers when the only consequence of Donald Trumps lies was the sight of the liberal media going into pulmonary shock on a daily basis, agog with outrage at Trumps projectile bullshitting. Slowly, however but surely -- things are changing. It is now becoming more apparent that Trumps deceits have all been improvised explosive devices set on timers designed to detonate in the hands of Republicans. It is the Trump worshipers, lackeys, apologizers, enablers, and suck-ups -- from Ann Coulter to Rush Limbaugh to Mitch McConnell -- who are getting toasted by the time-bombs they were eagerly carrying for the President.
Democrats may be angry, but they do not feel victimized by Trumps deceit, because they were not naive, ignorant, cavalier, or willfully gullible enough to buy into any of it in the first place. But the people who believed it? They are starting to get pissed. They are beginning to feel victimized, let down, and manipulated. They are starting to voice their anger, disappointment, and sense of betrayal. Call it the turning of the screwed."
