Trump's Never-Ending Surreality Show

So, what was begun with The Apprentice, then morphed into The Celebrity Apprentice, is now a variant of the Trumpist "reality" show we're going to live with until hell freezes over. Even with a big and increasingly unlikely blue wave victory on election day a few weeks from now, we're still going to be stuck with the designer "reality" Trump and his enablers have crafted for us, a reality in which ignorance, lies, and misinformation rules, where thugs and insurrectionists are proclaimed as patriots by a majority of American voters, where up is down, truth is fiction, and so-called "Christians" can see a man like Trump as the 2nd Coming of the prophet who gave their faith its name. This time, however, they've got a better guy.

When Trump said that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue without losing support, he was apparently just being modest, a true rarity for him. Hell, he can do far more than shoot pedestrians with impunity. He can hang out with fellow international pedophiles and sex traffickers, dance with Saudi murderers, incite an insurrection, steal classified documents at great risk to national security and to the safety of agents working in the intelligence community. He can undermine damn near every branch of government, get cops killed in a massive military-style assault he unleashed, setting loose a band of yahoos to shit in the offices and on the floors of the Capitol Building. He could inspire numb-nutted red cap wearing idiots to chant "hang Mike Pence." Untold numbers of men and women were persuaded to believe that they were acting as "patriots" in their attempts to suborn democracy itself,

Trump could and did skate on hiding his tax returns which turned out to reveal how little he paid. He could dance on legal technicalities, delays, and corruption throughout his life, and get away with it to this very day on an array of charges from criminal to civil, from rape to fraud. His henchman, Steve Bannon, has committed more serious crimes than most people who are serving long prison terms or were shot to death by the police, and yet he's been sentenced to only four months in jail, which, if that time is served at all, will no doubt be in one of those cushy joints reserved for people who are treated in the manner to which they've become accustomed.

Trump could encourage Americans to drink bleach and shine lights in their orifices to fight a virus he had said was a) a hoax, b) a Chinese disease, c) yet another radical Socialist Democrat attempt to destroy capitalism, and d) no big deal. He encouraged people not to wear masks as a statement of their politics, and as a result of his subversion of health and safety precautions, managed to oversee well over a million American COVID deaths, among the worst stats in the world where this scourge was concerned. Estimates suggest that more than half of those who died would not have lost their lives if we'd had a better, saner, more competent, and less criminal leader.

like in Germany now if you have anything trump related and if federal or police see it in your car you'll be arrested for sedition like in Germany for having nazi memorabilia because having nazi memorabilia is illegal in Germany.
