Trumpers Regrouping, Retrenching

MORE THAN FIVE MONTHS into the Biden administration there are no indications that the Republican Army of Trump (R.A.T.)  had any further plans to overthrow the United States government and reinstate their cult leader, the criminal traitor Trump, as president by force. For that, we can be grateful. The failed assault, occupation, and ransacking of the nation's capitol building seems to have been sufficient deterrent to any further treasonous violence by the conservative community. The RAT pack only killed five people, perhaps its greatest disappointment. A large majority of conservative Republicans not only still believe that Trump won the election and that it was stolen from him, according to many surveys, but they also still believe that the capitol insurrection of January sixth was well intentioned, a good idea which unfortunately did not succeed in accomplishing its purpose, the overthrow of the United states government. This speaks volumes about their honesty, integrity, moral character, not to mention sanity. but Trump supporters had no decency to begin with: they elected Trump in 2016, despite his famous Hollywood Access statement released a month before the election, the one in which he bragged about being able to sexually molest women without consequences because of his wealth and fame. All  things considered, the best course of action for Trump supporters might be to spend the rest of their pathetically misguided lives screaming to high heaven that the election of 2016 was rigged against Trump, just to find out if by so doing they benefit in any other way than venting anger and stress, and to indulge  their misery, which they deserve. With regard to moral decency, barely half the American population is now fully vaccinated against Covid 19,a vast majority of the unvaccinated being clustered together in "red" states,  Trump supporters who value personal freedom over the public good, moral decency, and sanity. Trump and his R.A.T.supporters facilitated the disastrous spread of the virus, by ignoring it, refusing to wear mask or maintain social distance, and refusing to get vaccinated. The result is six hundred thousand american dead, Trump survived the virus by receiving the best medical care in the world, as Covid 19 spread through his White House. The conservative evangelical Trump right has now turned its attention to facilitating climate change, using the same denial tactic which worked so well for them during the pandemic. They seem to see the collapse of the earth's ecosystem as having a desired effect of hastening their entrance into heaven. It is the habit, indeed the perceived requirement of the Trump far right to deny reality, and to embrace the existence of whatever invented reality suits their diabolical aims. The moral bankruptcy required for this is manifestly evident. Trump and his supporters vigorously defend their various denials of reality and their fabricated false versions of it.Dispelling their malignancy is crucial, but a difficult task, for they are numerous, and, as Agathon said "Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain."
