The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts and is the ultimate conspiracy theory.  Unfortunately, he has a cult following from a cross section of this country that will do what it takes to go the distance and strange as it may seem, some of these cultists even have IQ’s in triple figures.

Trumpuppets come in all shapes and sizes, from that fur bearing Viking horned QAnon numnuts, to Mr. Camp Auschwitz, to Mr. Confederacy, to the new gun totin’ detector dodging Annie Oakley legislator from Colorado.  These 4 are just citizens, from different cultures, who have walked different paths to give allegiance to the same Shaman, never mind that the entity they bow before is a moron and extremely dangerous.  3 of these storm troopers marched down with thousands of others to ransack the Capitol Building and trample the Constitution with the Confederate Flag.  Wasn’t it nice and convenient that the 4th one of these lame-brains was already there?  She said she was going to D.C. and hit the ground running.  Well, you can run, but you can’t hide.  She would be wise not to unpack her bags as she is already under investigation and it didn’t take long for her Communications Director to resign.  Remember young one, if you’re going to rule by the sword, you’re going to lose by the sword.

It certainly doesn’t take rocket science to figure out as to why all these misguided souls came to Washington D.C. and turned on democracy with such malicious intent: The President told them to.  Do you think they heard voices saying something like, “If You Build It, They Will Come” or “Stupid Is As Stupid Does” or my personal favorite, “I Am Your Father!”  Maybe for some of the real nut cases, but obviously, it was the work of social media.  Their twitter-brained leader needed at least a dozen of his minions there when he gave his speech so he can report that millions showed up to gaze upon him and lend him their ears.  They even got a bonus when Rudy-Tootie showed up with his $20,000 fee, sort of a buy one get one kind of deal.  I have some good advice for Rudy though: before you show up for another landscaping event, I would change hair products and ask your boss to show you the money!  Stay tuned…..!
