    Trump supporters meanwhile must create bullshit versions of their cartoon messiah. People leave his rallies when he launches into his interminable babbling speeches, but that doesn’t matter — Trump the man is incidental. It’s Trump the cartoon they love.

    No notes. On point. It’s why I fully believe that when Trump dies, a significant portion of his followers will simply choose… not to believe it. There will be Trump sightings for decades, like with Elvis.

      Nooo please don’t be right, I never want to think about this man ever again and his death is the only hope for that I have. But ugh you’re probably right.

        There is a pretty good chance that such brainless devotion could work in favor of democracy. After the Toupee is dead and buried the Republicans will have to find a different cult leader to rally behind, but if half of their voter base keeps voting for a corpse it’ll split the party and Democrats will sweep the elections.

        That’s assuming we even have elections.
