  There is a question stirring on the wind about the cult of Trump and when it will end. It is a sure bet that people wondered when Hitler and his reign of terror would be over as with every other despot that has held power over others. Some have been little groups such as Jim Jones and like Hitler others have encompassed entire continents.

  Will the movement die if he goes to jail? Unfortunately he will probably be made a hero and the adoration will increase. Where would they be able to put him that would not end up as a problem for some community somewhere? Perhaps he could be given luxury accommodations on the Titanic.

   Is a replacement smoke and mirrors person in the wings? Judging by the crop that you see and hear about in DC it is unlikely that one of the current group has what it takes to gather the flock and get them to do stupid stuff for personal gain. Not to say they won’t do stupid stuff, we will just have to wait and see.

  If a new leader does come forward will he have the same agenda? More than likely not, but he may use the same tactics to get to the destination he has in mind. Will it be good for America, that is most likely going to be no. 

  As long as the Republican Party has the same group of backers behind it we are going to see the same sort of crap we have now. These people, mostly men, are determined to have things done their way. The reason for that mindset is probably some sort of mental illness because these guys are the ones that are pushing so many of the ideas we are seeing being played out in places likeTexas and Alabama. The laws that punish the loss of a fetus even if it was caused by something beyond medical intervention. Rewarding neighbors for spying on their neighbors. Intolerance for people of color or not native born or having a different life style, all this and more can get these folks riled up and cause harm.

  Burning books and prosecuting teachers, rewarding corrupt politicians and claiming some sort of biblical justification for doing all these things appears to make these people fulfilled, like squashing bugs on the sidewalk. They of course are really squashing hopes and dreams and feeling quite pleased about it.

  When will it change, good question. The change will happen when a younger generation of movers and shakers takes the place of these old, worn out white men that have nothing in their lives but ashes and disgust for all that do not follow their lead. At this moment they are all hoping to see the government get shut down because their man does not occupy the white house. Just a side note here, Is it possible that they helped scuttle McCains shot at the WH because he had a female running mate? Anyway the fact that thousands of people could be put in harms way economically for the sake of an ego trip is just so much bull shit. Not everyone on the face of the planet has had the opportunity to either inherent or earn or steal enough to become independent.
