And, so it came to pass, on the 185th day of the third year since sanity had fled the land,

that the plague-bringer himself called upon his disciples to gather before a monument previously considered hallowed ground. And, gather they did; like mutant moths drawn to a guttering candle because they refused to allow their bug-minds to imagine a brighter light.

And, the universe registered its disdain. Yea, the skies opened and wept bitter tears of sorrow and shame for the loss of what had been---honor, decency, generosity and the confidence that tomorrow would always be a little better. But, Himself declared that the rain and wind were "fake news" and that only losers would fail to stay for his wonderful message to 'Murika. And, thus was low IQ flu loosed upon the land.

The afflicted dispersed across the length and breadth of the land, chanting "Mexico will pay for the wall", "Windmills cause cancer" and "Trump is a genius". Thus spake the Deplorables and their tower of babble caused the scales to fall from the eyes of the multitudes whose apathy had given birth to His Arrogance.

And, lo---the people saw---and heard---and understood. And, they massed in great numbers to vote for NotTrump. And, the people again knew peace and dignity and honor and the Deplorables fell silent and slithered back beneath the stones from whence they'd crawled.

I surely hope your prognostications come true.

Say, if they do, we can always call you a prophet! And, you know, right now prophets are needed far more by this country than profits. That's for sure.
