   Let's face it, Republicans, when DJT doesn't win, it will be a relief. You won't have to listen to him whine, lie, and bluster all day, every day. You can get back to making the Republican party actually great, the party of Lincoln, instead of the party of lies, narcissism, and greed.

     @ellestad Don't get your hopes up. Even with Trump defeated, the GOP will never again be the "party of Licoln".

     When a cult dies, it becomes a religion. When the cult leader vanishes, the Scholasticism is born. We are witnesses of the exciting process by which a raging maniac becomes a canonized saint. The difference between the GOP and the Catholic Church is there is no Aristotelian influx to make it blow their mind.

     @simsa03 Brings to mind a quote from smbccomics: "Every field of science derives for a different thing Aristotle was wrong about."

     @simsa03 I think you're right about the scholasticism being born after the leader vanishing.

     @ellestad And the Republican Party, from its beginning, and under Lincoln, was always the party of "bidness", the party of the local "self made" elites rather than the aristocratic southern autocrats. The larva of the imago.

     @tinydoctor I know, it has been the project of decades to get to this point, on the cusp of a return to 1930, with Republicans in place to undo every progressive and inclusive initiative this country has ever produced.

     @simsa03 Wasn't Aristotle ridden by Phyllis before he went Stylites?

     Now you know what's at the bottom of great minds: The effort to undo a peculiar humilation. But while Aristotle was out to overcome the mud and succeeded, there are others who stay in the mud and fancy it golden. Like Trump and the Golden Shower. https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/f9dd504e7b01e5c56fcc8a7c5dae17fbad7fef18362a3add5596d90856688d29/view
