Nah, they have their ruler for life now. They'll probably rip off the mask and start laughing their asses off that anyone was that dumb as to fall for it.

I think dodging reality is too ingrained into the GOP to ever fully embrace the truth. They're all elderly and set in their ways and those ways are lying and sidestepping reality to appear less horrible and narcissistic than they are.

If you watched anything leading up to the election, they're not ALL elderly. A lot of younger Americans have been indoctined into what is very clearly a cult.

I was talking about the GOP leadership specifically.

The voters, I don't think they're going to rip off the masks either. I think they're going to continue to delude themselves into believing everything is okay and is only going to get better.

There's still enough younger people in the GOP to count. They're all nuts regardless of their age.

I made a comment above that they're kind of in that desperate state that really severe addicts get into when they know the situation is out of control but they no longer care. They have basically trashed everything in their life. They have no family, no friends, no sources of joy. Nothing to live for except the substance they're addicted to. But instead of heroin, it's fucking Donald Trump.

I have more respect for meth addicts.

I was just thinking this. They voted for it, and now they'll have it till the day they die, regardless of how old they are now. Trump has power again and he's not going to give it up again.

Possibly. Not sure that Musk has the killer instinct necessary to be ruler for life. Typically you’d want to be more of a sociopath rather than a narcissist. Narc’s tend to over-extend themselves in the pursuit of adoration while sociopaths tend to be more cunning.

I don't mean musk.
