The late author, Hunter S. Thompson once said taking acid in Las Vegas is redundant. One can only imagine how he would have described what happened in Dallas over the last three days.
Indeed, reality took a deeply surreal, yea, hallucinogenic turn at the 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference--also known as The Donald Trump is The Lord Jesus Christ Incarnate Revival. How else can you describe an event that started with a speech by the Hungarian fascist Viktor Orban then ended with an address by Herr Trump himself.
In between these ghoulish bookends were people like the republican candidate for Governor in Arizona, Kari Lake. She told the faithful she won the nomination because MAGA voters, "overwhelmed," the fraudulent machines in her state which were rigged against her. If elected she promised to officially declare Arizona's southern border is being, "invaded."
My Pillow guy, Mike Lindell was also there. He made sure those in attendance understood elections in 54 different countries had been left up to voting machines. Those countries, he said, "were lost," because once the machines have control they never give it up.
In other words, according to both these loons the age of Skynet has arrived.
There were others, of course, including a guy in a fake jail cell who represented the poor incarcerated January 6th insurrectionists. According to CNN the, "actor," in this little passion play really was in the mob that day. The reason he was available for the job was because he had turned state's evidence on other rioters who are currently doing time in real lock ups.
Well these republicans have never lacked when it comes to irony, or hypocrisy.
Obviously Orban and Trump were the stars of the show. Orban, who a few weeks ago delivered a speech that was called, "pure Nazi," by one of his own aides, received a standing ovation after his address. It moved one analyst to declare the GOP is now openly in support of white nationalism. The Hungarian Prime Minister's only uncomfortable moment was when he said his country supported Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. He apparently didn't realize most of the people in that hall actually like Valdimir Putin.
Our Donald, the alleged billionaire, shook down his supporters for donations to pay for a proposed law suit against CNN. Then he proclaimed both the January 6th coup attempt and the foiled plot to kidnap Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer were faked.
The crowd ate it all up. Hey, what do you expect from a bunch of fat grotesque rubes, many of whom were dressed in outfits so horribly garish and ridiculous it made you think of Porter Wagoner on Peyote. There is no telling how much cash they'll shovel into Trump's law suit plan, not realizing huge chunks of it will go directly to some fraudulent committee, or foundation run by one, or more of his kids, or cronies.
Let's face it, the only one of these MAGA grifters nailed so far has been Alex jones, but even he received a few kind words from GA congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene who made the speakers list this year.
Yes, there aren't any lies, conspiracies, or scams too big for the crowd in Dallas this year. Not so long as you keep telling them this country belongs to them and them alone and they are being persecuted by radical leftists only because they are white.
It is, in their twisted brains, the will of God.
Don't believe it? Just ask Donald John Trump and his pals. They are more than willing to tell you just that.

It's scary. Question: How can one person get so many people to buy into so much nonsense? Answer: Because they want to.
