The Great American Cult


A fossil of a prehistoric Republican Elephant
Pre-Trumpsters Cult Era 


 In my opinion, America now has but two main political parties: The Democrats and the Trumpsters Cult.  (The elephants went extinct after getting caught in the tar pits of the Trumpsters swamp.)


 The Trumpsters are best known as America's Political Cult.  Their exploits are becoming legendary.
Cult: A small group of people who lack a distinctive authority structure, often possessing a charismatic leader or group of leaders, who derive their inspiration and ideology outside of and counter to the predominate social culture.

 The Cult of Trumpsters came into existence around 2015 and is flourishing well into 2020.  It coalesced around the inspirational and charismatic leader, Donald J. Trump. When, from the rally stage, he would scream "hate," they would hate.  When he yelled "fake news," they would turn and pummel the attending press corp.  And when he said, "march," they grabbed their assault weapons, MAGA hats, and Confederate and Nazi Flags and marched!

 And as suddenly as the Trumpsters Cult appeared, the Republicans vanished.

 The Republicans left with nary a whimper, cry, or  moan.  They retreated to their homes and offices in early 2016 and barely left a trace of their former selves.  A few of them remain vocal in the hallowed halls of the U.S. Senate and House, but mostly they are content to let the Trumpsters Cult take charge.  And take charge they did!

 We have witnessed the full-throttle coup d'etat of Americans Grand Old Party.  Surprisingly, they seem to be in a state of numbness at what they have acquiesced to the Trumpsters Cult.  They are watching not only the death rattle of their once-proud party, but the near-death rattle of their nation.

 While the country still has many GOP followers, they appear as the proverbial "deer-in-the-headlights" as they watch the inevitable taking place.  Are they stunned or are they simply hoping the nightmare will end in November?

 The Trumpsters are not going anywhere soon.  Some noted observers even hint that even if the head Trumpster is defeated in November, he will refuse to exit upper stage right.  Will our military need to march into the Oval Office and escort him to the front gate?  Will we need to prosecute a Civil War against the Trumpsters Cult?

Will The Young and the Rustlers preempt As the Stomach Turns?

 Stay tuned.

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
