Watching the Right Wing Implode

I KNOW THIS DUDE, he's in his early seventies, wears all black, has a ponytail, and zealously endorses conservative values, particularly economically. He's a stockbroker, with a nice office. He was thrilled when Trump was elected. The other day he said to me: "Don't you think the American people are tired of hearing about the Russians?" "Oh Hell no!" I shot back. "Russian spies are always in style, just look at spy thriller sales. What the American people actually seem to be tired of is Donald Trump, what with his thirty five percent approval rating." I liked giving that response, emphatically. He walked out of the restroom without a word. My black clad conservative friend, tired of Russian spies, but eager to read every email ever sent or received by Hillary Clinton as proof of criminal activity, including those exchanging recipes. Aren't Russian election hacking spies far more interesting than Hillary's boring, harmless, innocent, meaningless emails? Suppose the FBI had conducted a thorough investigation and concluded that Russian operatives had interfered with the election in an attempt to help Hillary Clinton get elected, but said they were unsure about whether the Clinton campaign had cooperated with the Russians. How would Trump, his supporters, conservatives in general, and my ponytail friend in particular respond? You know as well as I, they would raise holy hell, form a lynch mob, lock her up, and have a feeding frenzy. But, with Trump, our fair minded right wingers insist that investigations into Trump's conspiracies with Russians, which look more incriminating every day, are nothing more than fake news, or a fabrication by the media and the democrats to destroy Trump. What will these integrity-free dishonest right wing nitwits say if Trump is found guilty of conspiring with the Russians, impeached, removed from office, and run out of the country as a traitor, or put in prison? They'll blame it on the liberal media, and the democrats. You conservatives might want to consider the possibility that the KKK, white Supremacists, NAZIs, and the Donald Trump movement are doing nothing but destroying the credibility of the American conservative movement in general. I'll just sit back, smile, and watch it happen.
