Subject: Re: Trumpers walk out on Trump
Is it possible that some portion of those attending these rallies -- not ALL, not a MAJORITY, but maybe more than a FEW -- are showing up out of some sense of morbid political and historical curiosity? That some are attending these rallies out of a strange desire to "be there" when Trump does SOMETHING, or says SOMETHING, that finally becomes his "Cricket the Dog" moment? Kind of the opposite of an "I have a dream" moment or an "Ask not..." moment or even a "Tear down this wall" moment. The kind of moment where that thing he does or says finally bursts this bizarre bubble we're in and everyone present suddenly realizes...
...WT (ahem) H are we DOING listening to this guy?
Have you ever THOUGHT much about what that act would have to be given what we've seen so far in politics over the last few decades?
* Presidential candidate chased from the race for a photo of a women on his lap on a boat (Hart)
* President selling banned arms to Iran to raise covert money to give Contras funds banned by Congress to fight Sandinistas (Reagan)
* Presidential candidate pays hush money to hide a child with a mistress (John Edwards)
* a sitting US Senator accepting bribes for favors to a foriegn national (Bob Menendez)
* Presidential candidate pays hush money to hide an affair with a porn star two weeks prior to election (Ttrump)
* extorting a foreign head of state for dirt on a rival (Trump)
* plotting a coup for two months and executing that coup after losing re-election (Trump)
* stealing and retaining highly classified docs and dodging a suppoena for re-possesion of said docs (Trump)
* sexually violating a woman then losing two verdicts for two cases of libel badmouthing said victim (Trump)
* getting forciblly removed from a musical play for drunk and disorderly handsy conduct (Boebert)
* shooting a dog, bragging about it in a memoir, recording your own audiobook, THEN realizing voters like puppies (Noem)
* lying about meeting world leaders in your memoir and getting crucified on live TV in interviews (Noem)
The ethics of many seeking public office have dropped exponentially over the past few decades, raising the curve as it were required to shock the public. It seems clear if there IS some offense capable of finally jolting the MAGA public awake, it's got to be a DOOZIE.
If I could predict with any accuracy when and where this event might occur, I'd pay a premium to fly there and attend to be able to say "I was there when it happened and watched America step back from the brink."
