Slouching Towards Mar-A-Lago [View all]
If you show enough sincerity in your lies, many people will believe them - especially if it is something they want to hear.
The lies spread like a contagion over the Republican Party. They wanted so much to believe that Donald Trump won the last election. Not since Joe McCarthy had they deluded themselves to such an extent.
Now they have a new McCarthy and he is their leader in the House of Representatives. He begged and pleaded with Trump to stop the rampage on January 6th and went to the floor of the House to condemn his actions. But that was then. Now, he pretends it never happened.
They march down in single file to Mar--A-Lago to get their allowances. Mr Trump is now handling all of their finances. If they behave, they may get a campaign donation and maybe a photo and a word of support from Mr Trump. What more could they ask for?
They are willing to sacrifice everything for the delusions emanating from Mar-A-Lago. They are true believers. They are willing to sacrifice our democracy if they can but touch the hem of his garment.
