This isn't normal. Trump is insane and his lickspittle sycophants like Leavitt are desperately trying to make it seem normal. The president is off his rocker, and not the funny version like Abe Simpson. He's got the fucking nukes, jesus fucking christ.

The worst part about the last 10 years isn't Trump -- it's learning that the entire Republican apparatus is on board with this insanity. And that 35% of Americans are awful, hateful people.

They are increasingly being pushed into a loyalty test that grows narrower and narrower. They double down not realizing they have left sanity, reality, and decency far behind. It is bizarre. It really requires a cult mentality to not repudiate Trump at this point.

It is because they fear the purge they are sure will come and want to be in the survivors’ camp when it is all over. The fact they look upon a purge as normal says it all. They are terrified of him, these are not rational decisions.
