I used to argue with Greg (years ago) about Trump not being a cult of personality. But, I've come around on the issue. His followers are involved in nothing less than that. Especially those "pious" holier-than-thou evangelicals that hated Clinton and others for their supposed ungodliness. Sweet fucking Easter Bunny, they will make any excuse in the world for Trump. And Trump is, whatever one may think of his policies, an authentic garbage human being. There is nothing redeeming about him. He's a liar. He's vain, pompous, crass, unkind, hypocritical, and a dozen other things. I hate him so much. And yet, I will vote for him over most of the Democrats in contention. They're only degrees away from being as bad as he is on a personal level and the policies they wish to enforce are horrific.

From my perspective, Trump did some great things in regards to policy, and I do like that he's not beholden to the D or R elites and spits in their eyes on some things. The fact that his followers reject someone like DeSantis, who would also follow many of the same policies and give much of the same attitude they want out, but without all the Trumpiness, just shows they're all in on the cult.

Trump is the only politician I've ever truly wished death upon. He's a cancer on the body politic of this country and his death is the only thing that is going to start to cure us of it. As long as he's alive, his acolytes will continue to follow him and vote how he wants, regardless of the destructive path it leads us all down. So yes, I pray to the Sweet Lord Jesus in whom I do not believe to take him sooner rather than later. Just take him in his sleep, please. Amen to us all.
