You're new here, Ed, so I'm just going to say that your accurate assessment of the cult of Trump doesn't really brook the truth. Facts and evidence don't matter to the cult, and when the truth impinges on their consciousness, they have a visceral and often violent negative reaction.

Now that you're seeing it, you'll see it everywhere.
