What the HELL is going on in this country? Every day the list of current or former Republicans supporting Biden grows. Groups such as the Lincoln Project continue to put out excellent, powerful anti-Trump commercials. The world, except for Putin, is for Biden. Yet, no matter what is said or done, his supporters remain solidly behind him. Trump himself long ago said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his support would remain. Why? No other president has ever gotten away with more, although Reagan gave him a run. Is this really more about hatred of "libs" and people of color more than anything? I can understand how morons elected him in the first place, because people are fucking stupid, but even stupid people eventually learn.

It almost seems like mass hypnosis. Trump truly is a cult leader. What would happen if he told them to literally drink the Kool-Aid? I think they would drink it willingly, and happily, even if they knew what the results would be. After all, if their God told them to do it, he must have a good reason. Problem is, he's a lot more likely to send his right-wing gun freaks after those of us he doesn't like, and they'll do it, without a second thought.

Scary times are ahead.
