Giving The Sane A Good Laugh

 DONALD TRUMP is arguably a two hundred and fifty pound virus which, having infected American society, has metastasized and caused widespread mental illness among us, the american people. Einstein said it best: "the world is a madhouse". More than one half of the Republican members of the U.S. House of Reps have signed on to the lawsuit soon to go before the supreme court, the one which originated in Texas and to which trump signed on. their brief asks that the election be nullified in four states, then lists a bunch of nonsense, lies, and conspiracy theories to back it up. Trump vows revenge against those GOP lawmakers not participating. The high court will toss it out within moments, since its full of the same insane nonsensical wishful thinking with which all Trump supporters seem infected. Mitt Romney said it best: "madness". The republicans and evangelical conservative america had better think twice about how closely it hitches its wagon to Trump in his waning political days. When the last lawsuit is laughed ou into the streets and Biden is sworn in, Trump will slink back towards Florida with as much fanfare as he can muster, as only he can. The ghost of Senator Joseph P. McCarty shimmers translucently in the corner, warning of the fleeting nature of American political celebrity predicated upon outrageous behavior directed towards a radical but limited audience. nearby stand David Due and Jerry Falwell Junior, who failed to heed the warning.  Donald Trump, congressional Republicans, and assorted little trumpets are having a proverbial blast. Trump is raking in gullible money, while the gullible donors are enjoying their little game of righteous indignation, crying foul, claiming election fraud, stop the steal. Conservative evangelical America has long mastered the psychotic psychological artful act of turning itself into a victim, a pure and innocent victim of a dread conspiracy of liberals radicals, the mainstream media, some imaginary deep state of anti-Trump rebellion, and heavens only knows who else, what other godless factions pitch in. I hope that they continue reaping the emotional balm of their little charade of outrage for decades. I sincerely hope that those who supported Trump never let go of their anger and resentment of an imaginary enemy from within which stole seven million votes from their iconic demagogue. They deserve nothing more or less than to dwell eternally in the pathology of their ow making. And, after all they have put the rest of us through, and after all the high melodrama they have bestowed upon us, the rest of us, America's remaining sane, well deserve the good laugh to which they unwittingly have treated us and reduced themselves.
