Oh boy, there was a show of support for Donald V. Rumpt in the Twin Cities, not quite as big as his inaugural, but it was a parade of sorts. One lady who sounded like she was hypnotized was interviewed on the radio and said she was so supportive because Rumpt was of good moral character and that he was leading the country in the right direction.

I knew she would be chanting “Make America Great Again!” and waving a flag with all the other hypnotized people and really believing in the slogans and lies offered by The Man Who Would Be King if we let him.

The hypnotized lady was a true believer, the kind that despots and flim-flam men need in order to make it look like everything is working just fine. 

Despots and flim-flam men always have plenty of good slogans to go around. The problem is that most of the times the slogans end up in a place that becomes mean-spirited, meant to strike fear into the hearts of the hypnotized so that they remain loyal, in this case, to a man whose calamity of character has been exposed so often.

The hypnotized won’t believe the facts that Rumpt paid off prostitutes and porn stars, is a tax cheat, lost a cool billion while he portrayed himself as a master deal maker, is a climate change denier, a loudmouth who lies on a daily basis to the American public.

Those are the truths I hold self-evident about this faux billionaire because they are so evident.

The hypnotized won’t believe that the Mueller Report did provide 10 instances of obstruction of justice as Rumpt sought to end the investigations. Mr. Clueless Leader likely thought he could dismiss the whole mess just like he’d dismissed so many other messes in his life and lie about it too. Mueller did say that if anyone other than a sitting president pulled off such shenanigans they would be indicted for multiple felony charges. Bingo-bango.

The loyal hypnotized people have been pulled into the void by the Flim-Flam Man and his truth is their truth and you won’t change their mind even if God shows up in a gold Cadillac and shouts into a bullhorn, “This man is a liar and a cheat and I’m not sure how many examples you need before you believe me!”  

It appears that people will believe a lie told enough times over the dull, boring truth. The Lying-Slogans can manipulate just about anyone into false belief as long as they hear those lies and slogans enough times, over and over, repetitive, populist, god-fearing, fearful.

At some point it appears that people just stop thinking for themselves because the slogan has done that for them and they believe the slogan more than the facts.

Once people believe the slogan it appears as those who create the slogan can move the rules to fit their needs and no one is worse for the wear. The slogan lives, life is going backwards not forwards, and the people are all for that because they have stopped thinking and have trusted the slogan.

Rumpt and his kind are the slogan, they exist outside of the truth. 

Rumpt supporters I ask, can you think outside the slogan?

The hypnotized lady has taken it upon herself to stand up for a bum. All I can do is ask a simple question: Is Rumpt the kind of person you’d like your son to grow up to be? I know the hypnotized lady would smile and gush about how fine a man Rumpt is and that he’s so smart because he says so. Please explain that you’d be proud of your son cheating on his wives and cheating on his taxes and lying to the American public on a daily basis. I know my mom would have washed my mouth out with soap if I’d boasted I could grab women down there and get away with it and make up lies with such reckless abandon.

Hypnotized lady, please explain to me why it would be okie-dokie that your son grows up to be a liar and a cheat?
