When you see all of the people who,,,
back bush and how they look at him adoringly,proudly and are so overjoyed do you every wonder how do they take this dumb motherfucker seriously! I have been wondering for years what in the hell are they seeing. I know some of them are seeing dollar signs but for others, I don't see it!

1. 99% of them I think it is an act
Somehow they think their livlihood depends on repuke values - they could work for a contractor, especially in the security business, which must be making a big killing off the post 911 funk. They could work in one of those military towns.

2. When they visit locally,
check out the local gas pumps when the imports start arriving grimly, and I mean GRIMLY, to pay their political dues. People can turn it on for the cameras and the Fuhrer, especially since they are showing up for personal advantage in the first place. The real idiots get comforted buy the numbers and "enthusiasm" of the pros. It doesn't take much for anyone to let it loose in the mere exercise of fandom.

6. He is (as the figurehead of the "conservative" party) all they have to advance their social agenda
All they have to know is that he's not a hollywood liberal (in spite of being a prop department cowboy).

He can do anything, so long as he represents the power at the federal level to maintain the pressure on reproductive rights, civil unions, and provides cover for the delusion that the rest of the country can be bullied into their faux belief system and morals. He'll protect them from those homo-human-hybrid stem cell cloning things you see in the movies. Or, at least somebody told them it was in the movies; they don't get out much to see them themselves.

He's sort of like the Pope (an analogy that would drive WASPs nuts): sure he may has human failings, but he is the One, incarnate.

He's the only thing they have, and as the truth gets worse and worse, the cognitive dissonance - and the intensifying delusion - will get more and more extreme. Not extreme to go fight his war, no sir. Just extreme enough to foment hate for anybody who isn't a "true" believer.

Sure some fat cats see dollar signs, but the bulk of the "working against their own self-interest" crowd doesn't care: he's no liberal, and that's all they need to know.

Or so I think.

7. The problem with this is..
they will follow him (the dumbest) no matter what and they claim to be the most patriotic,lovers of the country, and the most godly. How can they not see that he destroying the country,he is breaking all of the ten commandments, and most of their young republiCONS,won't even sign up for their occupation.

8. they aren't the dumbest though, they're
college educated, many of them. A lot of them are one paycheck away from living in their cars or moving back in with their parents. They have this desire to be lied to. They want to go back to the desi/luci days when fonzi was just a nice but misunderstood guy in a leather jacket. In short, they are fucking crazy, cause it never was that way. This is what, the second complete generation that was raised on a diet of television/childcare centers/computers and parents that work 98 hours a week to afford soccer lessons and mercedes for their kids. I'm glad I'm getting old at this point, I'm trying to tell my grandkids how imagination used to work, he looks at me like I'm a nutcase. He doesn't like * though.

9. They are just a nutty as he is. Think of it as a Rod Serling episode.

"Imagine a world where a complete imbecile is the most powerful man on earth. Imagine again that he is beloved by a small but vocal minority. Imagine the imbecile being unstoppable because he doesn't have to obey any laws. Imagine you are in the twilight zone."
