Good question, and one that will produce speculation for generations yet unborn.That party has made its Faustian bargain, and the country is paying for it.
And I continue to wonder: Exactly how does the country get to a point where Middle America and the NASCAR crowd fall head over heels in love with a flamboyant, hair sprayed, spray tanned, hypersensitive, childlike, petulant New York City billionaire? How in the world do they think that he and they are actually somehow simpatico? Have they been THAT desperate for a con man to come along and tell them what they want to hear?
It seems to me that we've not yet stopped being shocked, and started asking real questions about what has happened to our society. How did this happen to us?
Rabble-rousers have had their way with hoards of hapless dupes in the past, but have feigned competence and integrity, sophistication and learning, scrupulous honesty and endearing selflessness - while preying upon atavistic allurements of the basal ganglia. This was as if the ranks of the GOP's power brokers had suddenly been swarmed and sent running by flying dung beetles.
"And now for something completely different!"
This cult appears to have been vamped by seductive pheromones in the lip gloss.
