An on-the-scenes report from my cousin at CPAC...

My cousin owns a popular talk radio station in Georgia. The usual right-wing line-up of Dennis Miller, Laura Ingraham, Rush, etc, plus he hosts his own morning program. Trumpsky's campaign sent one of the big Trumpsky tour buses to take his entire staff, plus guests, to the inauguration after cuz helped campaign for him in the state.

Anyway, he is broadcasting live from CPAP, and has been posting pics on FB. Of course, I had to rib him about the Russian flags, but he claimed he didn't see any of them. What he saw a lot of were blue Socialism Sucks t-shirts being worn by "all the young people." He was envious of the vendor who set up a booth in the arena and seemed to be making a killing off of them. Of course, more than a few of us joked that he should go interview some of those kids and see if they even know what Socialism is means.

The funniest part, though, is that he said many of the attendees were getting in his face, yelling "FAKE NEWS! YOU'RE FAKE NEWS!" at him, and virtually anyone wearing a press badge. This is actually pretty scary. Trumpsky has done a great job of getting these idiots to not believe anyone but him -- ironically, the very personification of "fake news."

Yikes.

If true, 45Pee-ism is now a cult.
