A former president and his delusional rants

Truth be told: There are Republican governors, senators, and members of the House of Representatives who don’t care if kids get sick, or even die, as long as they score points with their base, which is a remarkable collection of self-interested people who seem to have a distorted view of reality.

It’s hard to fathom why they follow the delusional rants of the former Whinerin-Chief: a soulless fanatic with a demented mind housed in a soulless body of flab, ranting fabricated lies, bilking them for millions of dollars.

America is like a wounded mouse that a cat finds and bats around, toys with it, lets it start to escape, then pushes it down with a clawed paw, and eventually eats it. Former President Crybaby is the cat, playing with a wounded democracy torn apart by lies about voter fraud, a partisan public health crises, and Republicans calling arrested rioters political prisoners. He pits pseudo-science against scientific facts; divides the country with fear and anger; and gives false hope to his believers, filling them with mistrust while stoking their new found hatred, using it as a means to manipulate them for his own selfcentered good.

He doesn’t love America, never has, never will. He loves himself, money, power, and will say and do whatever it takes to have more; he will call those who oppose him traitors to be punished, imprisoned, possibly executed; a dictatorial fascist who wraps himself in the American flag while selfishly betraying a country he knows not.
