Here's where American conservatives ran off the rails. Part I

"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: 'It's a pound.' Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating."

Here's where American conservatives ran off the rails, Part II
If any Democrat - even a mentally ill one who'd stopped taking his meds - had attacked the Capitol Building (much less called for the hanging of vice-president Pence), every "conservative" in America (bleeding at the eyes, their carotid arteries pulsing purple) -- would demand that the seditionist-traitor be drawn and quartered on the National Mall, his dismembered body parts then stuffed in a gibbet to be hung over Pennsylvania Avenue until every bit of flesh had rotted away and the bones had bleached titanium white.

But when actual seditionists are Trump supporters -- not to mention Trump himself -- they are lauded as True Patriots.

Trumpistas make the original Pharisees look like Mother Theresa on steroids.

Inflammatory rhetoric and ubiquitous self-victimization are ALL the Republican Party's got left - a party comprised of liars, miscreants and malevolent lickspittles who would eagerly sell their souls to Satan for pragmatic political advantage. For all I know, they may have done so already.
It's not like Republican malice is anything new:
Pat Buchanan, The Republican Presidential Candidate And Living American Who Has Served Longest As Senior White House Official, Says Republicans Are In It For "Power Only" And "To Hell With Principles"

This is not about Democrats and Republicans. This is about sentient beings and The Lizard People.

Here's where American conservatives ran off the rails, Part III

Trump, along with his suck-ups, achichincles and cultists are insane.

Clinically certifiable.

They live lives that automatically morph reality into an enveloping delusion in which their fundamentally fact-free world is not only portrayed (to others and themselves) as true, but as "God's Truth." 

The patients are in charge of the asylum and presume their asylum is The Promised Land.

They make this proclamation of faith with the same decerebrate certainty that "good Germans" manifested in The Third Reich.

My working hypothesis is that Trump cultists want liberals dead, whereas liberals only want Trump cultists to leave them alone - just as they left them alone when they were backwoods snake-handlers instead of snakes.
 
It never occurs to Trump cultists -- particularly self-righteous "Christian" "conservatives" (who are neither) -- to “live and let live.”

These folks are dominance-submission hierarchs, and nothing but total domination is even open for consideration.  

These "true believers" are absolutely certain God is on their side, and that the rest of us infidels are damned to The Lake of Unquenchable Fire.

And so since “God said it, I believe it, and that settles it,” they take it upon themselves to be dictatorial-and-cruel because that’s who their God is, and that’s what their God ordains.  

It is hard to see a way out of this muddle.
