..and the worship of a charismatic leader who speaks "truth" that isn't tested.
I heard someone yesterday say that Trump wants to be a king, preferably one that is also a god.

It's a shame that it took a riot, deaths and an invasion of the Capitol instigated by Trump to make you see what the rest of the world saw 5 years ago. But at least you now have.
But Phat, he's been a narcistic, despotic, dangerous, lying turd since day one; you've had thousands of incidents to prove that beyond all reasonable doubt. It's not that 'things may have once appeared' different, they didn't; what has changed is your ability to see them.

The impeachment of Bill Clinton now looks like it was carried out in an age of innocence.

The horned loon that invaded the Capitol is rumoured to be pleading not guilty as he was 'only followng orders', those of his commanding officer, President Trump.
Curious and interesting defense from many angles. Not least because it fingers his commaning officer. Really hope it's true.
