Had Enough of Trumpism, Yet?

In the days immediately after Biden was declared the winner of the election by the networks, when Trump and his loyal supporters refused to accept that Biden had won, well, it was not all that surprising. 

After all, when you've been swallowing "alternative facts" daily for four long years, maybe it's not all that easy to stop, all at once. Then came the recounts, which changed nothing. Biden still won. Trump fumed. 

Then, in various courts, came some 60 rejections to overturn the legitimate votes of thousands of citizens. That made way for the certification of Biden's victory on Jan. 6, 2021. But, as it happened, Trump's scheming also delivered mayhem that day and he probably had more fun than any previous day of his presidency. For payback, on his way out he wrecked Congress. 

Two weeks later Trump left D.C. with new reasons to be paranoid. When will his mob reappear?

Speaking of the sixth of January, that day's events tell us where the line must be drawn. After the riotous storming of the Capitol, anyone still spouting Trump's lamest alternative fact -- that the election was stolen from him -- is playing a lowbrow game that has become too tedious to put up with any longer. 

After all, Trump was the only one who could actually see his landslide victory. Now we know those flunkies who've said they saw it, too, just took his word for it. 

How dangerous Trump's neo-fascist cult is likely to be to the country remains to be seen. Still, my decision has been made. From here on, I want nothing to do with them. They've made their choice to live in a broken world in which torturing the truth is routine and cruelty is admired. They mean to impose that scene on the landscape. I hope those of us still striving to make the U.S.A. a more perfect union, won't let them. 

Now that the election's aftermath dust has settled the TV networks, hopefully, will see fit to stop presenting blathering Trumpists so much -- just to set up more tiresome confrontations -- and leave all that contrived bullshit to the crackpot channels. Meanwhile, rather than debated, pushy Trumpists should be shunned as much as possible. Arguing with that ilk won't change a damn thing, except maybe to help legitimize them. 

What's most wrong about the Trump cult's members and their sick agenda needs to be exposed -- revealed with well-executed oblique moves. Not confronted, head on ... especially not by debating with provocative trolls and such on social media.

That the Republican Party still has room under its tent for the insurrectionists of 1/6/21 and their fanboys tells any clear-eyed observer what they need to know about today's Grand Old Party -- a political party with the welcome mat out for white nationalists.
