UpNorthJoe: The cult, if hit hard enough by Trump's bizarre economic policies, may come back to earth and realize they need to get some restraints on him...
Most people in cults don't have a Joycean epiphany. No one at the Peoples Temple suddenly said, "What the f*ck, I'm not drinking that punch."
Just yesterday, republican speaker Johnson tweeted that "The grand opening of the new Rose Garden Club at the White House last night was epic," like the White House is some Club Med. For crying out loud, look at those photos: Trumpedo turned the Rose Garden into a Cheesecake Factory.
Earlier this week, Johnson claimed Trumpedo was an FBI informant.
Trumpedo Truth Socialed an AI-generated image of himself in a Cavalry hat in a mocked-up scene from Apocalypse Now. As senator Tammy Duckworth pointed out, that draft dodger didn't earn the right to wear it, and any other president would have been harshly criticized in the media for that stolen valor.
And Christ on a cracker, in Apocalypse Now the Robert Duvall character, Lt. Colonel Kilgore, is a lunatic and the film is about American failure and moral depravity during war.
Well, wait now... maybe Trumpedo does get it after all. He is a lunatic and he is spiraling America towards failure.
The trouble for the rest of us is that the cult has lost all sense of reality and keeps cheering him on.
And paying $3.59 for a gallon of gas (like I did yesterday) or $10.99 for a pound of bacon (what it cost yesterday at Mariano's) hasn't made them realize they have been bigly duped.
Because it's a freakin' cult.
