History's going to deal harshly with modern conservatives. They've become a cult, far more than they are a political party. It's
1984 and then some. It's really creepy dealing with some of 'em at work, the completely off-the-rails shit they believe. I avoid political arguments with them, because you're not going to get through to them, anyway, but occasionally they'll try to start some. The silliest one recently started with a conservative opening her argument by saying, "Ah don't keep up with the news 'r nothin', but..." That's a sure sign somebody's not going to have a good time discussing things with me.
Anyway, they're feverently
belieeeeeving all kinds of crazy shit, and dismissing facts as "bias" against them. They
want to be fooled by Trump's bullshit and the idea that Obama was bad, and are determined not to be pried away from it despite all evidence. Real Eric Hoffer textbook stuff.
O' course, they don't believe they're deluded by a mass movement. But neither did Germans in the 30's. Like I keep saying, the Republican party reminds me more of Scientology now than it does anything that has to do with politics. I have no idea how America's going to keep functioning with that many deluded people in it. We're like a free-range asylum now.
