Trump’s ultimate goal is turning his cult against everyone but Him.
When your ultimate objective is eternal adoration and grift, who needs to be president?
I mean, besides the protection it affords from prosecution…………
Donald Trump is, first and foremost, leader of the Trump Cult™. And the #1 objective of the Trump Cult™ is adoration and……...grift.
But to keep a cult pure and continually responsive to your every whim, the Leader must have total and complete fealty. This is achieved through the consistent brain-washing of his followers.
And the one idea that must be promulgated, above all others, is that the Leader is always right.
And that everyone who challenges him, is wrong.
Trump gained the followers he has, by proclaiming one obvious truth, back in 2015: “You can’t trust politicians.”
This is how he won the nomination.
This is how he “won” the White House.
And his followers’ faith was dutifully transferred from politicians…………..to him.
He has spent the last four years strengthening that one most important tie to his followers:
Only Leader Trump is worthy of your trust. Nobody else is.
So, in comes Election 2020………………….wherein Leader Trump begins a campaign not as much for reelection, but for control of the GO, using his cult to get it.
Trump’s first target was mail-in ballots
After the election seemed to be going his way the evening of Nov. 3rd, the election returns turned against him, and he told his flock that he was right: Mail-in-ballots were corrupted. The election was rigged.
And since then, with every lawsuit, with every tweet, Trump has managed to demonstrate to his followers that they cannot trust ANYBODY but him.
You Can’t trust Elections
Can’t trust Democrats = obvious
PA, WI, MI, & NV all run by Democrats, rigged the election for Biden.
Can’t trust GOP Governors = Neither Brian Kemp (GA) nor Doug Ducey would fight to show their states were stolen by Biden, and give their states to Trump.
Can’t trust GOP Secretaries of State = Brad Raffensperger wouldn’t nullify GA’s election to give Trump the win.
Can’t trust the GOP-run state legislatures, who wouldn’t nullify their state’s electoral process, take over the voting process, and give their states to Trump.
Can’t trust the State Supreme Courts, who wouldn’t rule for Trump, and give him their state.
Can’t trust the District Court Judges (even the ones Trump appointed (RINOs!!!) ) who wouldn’t rule for Trump.
Can’t trust the US Supreme Court who ruled against Trump or wouldn’t even accept the Texas case.
And on January 6th, the Coup de grâce: It will be proven to Trump Cult™ that they can’t trust the Vice President, nor the GOPs in the US Congress.
You can only trust Leader Trump.
Can’t trust the Media
MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC et al have all been against Leader Trump from the beginning.
FOX didn’t fight hard enough for Leader Trump
Breitbart didn’t fight hard enough for Leader Trump
etc.
You can only trust Leader Trump.
And so, as he leaves office on January 20th, at noon, he will be taking with him around 25-35% of the GOP’s voters.
He will have ultimately managed to keep a large chunky of his chunkiest cult-members together.
What he DOES with them, is anyone’s guess.
The only sure thing, is that he grifts them, as he has been doing since November 3rd.
