GOP bit down on the center of a Trump Pop
They wanted to break it up and spit out the pieces.
They wanted to return to a GOP Pop.
Trump was a lost cause. Pussygate scandal.
GOP found the center to be bitter and disgusting.
Trump shouted "Bite me, GOP!"
Trump has a loyal following
that is dead set against the standard New GOP.

It was not a Tootsie Pop they would buy.
The flavor was not a GOP standard.
It was the only Tootsie Pop available.

The sugary coating on the outside of the Trump Pop
contained all the GOP's favorite memes.
Sexism, racism, bigotry.

The Trump Pop was sweet and sour.
The sourness was rebellion against the GOP.
Trump Koolaid is not GOP koolaid.

There is a Republican version of politically correct.
Trump refused to be politically correct.
Trump blamed all the White House Republicans
to make all the dissatisfied and bitter Republican
fringe groups and splinter groups feel understood.
Trump welcomed the White Supremacists into his campaign.
The Republicans used White Supremacists to pull
the wagons of the Republican party.
Fringe groups were not allowed to
steer the Republican party.

The GOP was in quite a tight spot.
Trump had formed a fringe party of his own.
Trump subverted the Republican fringe groups,
and they joined the Trump party.

The GOP still has the Extreme Right Religious to pull their wagon.
The abortion fanatics will join in pulling the Trump yacht.

Donald Trump declared "the shackles have been taken off me" Tuesday morning on Twitter.

Trump Apparently Quotes Russian Propaganda To Slam Clinton On Benghazi

Fringe candidates support Trump, despite Pussygate

Amanda Taub argued for Vox that Donald Trump’s rise could partly be explained by his supporters’ “authoritarian” tendencies.

Gov. Paul LePage (R-ME), a staunch Trump backer, seems to agree. On a radio show Tuesday, he said that he wonders if the Constitution is “broken” and the United States might “need a Donald Trump to show some authoritarian power.”

Here’s his full quote, courtesy of Mike Shepherd of the Bangor Daily News

Sometimes I wonder that our Constitution is not only broken, but we need a Donald Trump to show some authoritarian power in our country and bring back the rule of law because we’ve had eight years of a president — he’s an autocrat,” LePage said. “He just does it on his own, he ignores Congress and every single day, we’re slipping into anarchy. I just think that four more years of a similar mentality is going to destroy this nation.”

Speaking on the opioid painkiller and heroin epidemic in Maine, Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican, made an unbelievably racist remark at a town hall.

He blamed minorities from the inner city from outside of the state, for flooding the towns with drugs. He accused drug dealing minorities of impregnating white teen girls with bi racial babies.

The Far North has always been a home for those who have different ideas that conflict with the mainstream.

It attracted survivalist and conspiracy believers.
Guns are useful to the Far North.
Much of it is still wilderness.

Recently the nutcases have started to disturb tiny villages
with Libertarian excesses.
An Oregon type of Bundy event is possible, now.


Libertarian ?

Why even Robert Nozick, the philosophical father of libertarianism, gave up on the movement he inspired


Nozick started out a classic of the type: a Brooklyn kid, one generation off the shtetl, toting a dog-eared Plato. But along the way to a full Harvard professorship, attained at the age of 30, he'd lost the socialist ardors of his upbringing.

How could a thinker as brilliant as Nozick stay a party to this? The answer is: He didn't. "The libertarian position I once propounded," Nozick wrote in an essay published in the late '80s, "now seems to me seriously inadequate." In Anarchy democracy was nowhere to be found; Nozick now believed that democratic institutions "express and symbolize … our equal human dignity, our autonomy and powers of self-direction." In Anarchy, the best government was the least government, a value-neutral enforcer of contracts; now, Nozick concluded, "There are some things we choose to do together through government in solemn marking of our human solidarity, served by the fact that we do them together in this official fashion ..."

It started when LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. A solidly Demo white South turned GOP almost overnight. Nixon's Southern Strategy and Reagan's racist subtexts solidified the change. Reagan's FCC shitcanned the Fairness Doctrine, creating the echo chamber of hate-fear-disinfo talk radio. No longer need people hear contrasting opinions and contested declarations. Facts became irrelevant.

This was the pile of manure in which Tromp's magic mushroom has grown. The results: vivid hallucinations; profound paranoia; rabid frothing at the mouth.

Such a toxic crop needs nurturing. Blame Reagan, Bush I, and Wee Willie Clinton for deregulation that allowed concentration of corporate power, deportation of USA jobs, massive financial fraud, institutionalized corruption of elected officials, shredding social safety nets, and more.

Murdoch and Ailes' Faux News monetized the insanity of a 'conservatism' that would be unrecognizable to Goldwater and Nixon. Recent GOP leaders, all corporate pawns, exploited the insanity, gained power, did well... without doing much to benefit their discontented base. Cue the Tea Party. And now Tromp.

Of course Tromp never was and still isn't 'conservative' by any measure except for insistence on slashing taxes and regulations for his own benefit. The Fox-GOP alliance (remember, Ailes was RNC chair) fed the troll. They deserve him.
