I truly believe it is coming. Where anger seeps into this thing for me is how I see it impact others. This does really bother me. I don't want to see people torn apart by an idiot like Trump. Honestly, I have to live with it every day because Julia, my wife, is extremely disturbed by the guy, in ways that it physically takes a toll on her to have him around. I know it physically takes a toll on many people and this does anger me because I do not feel that Trump is deserving of our emotions. He wants to enrage people, he wants to torment them, he wants them to suffer and I feel people should not give in to it. Particularly because he is so obvious in those desires. 

He is a disgusting specimen of our species, no doubt, but based on all of the weakness the man embodies, one we should be able to send packing with relative ease. I understand how disturbed people feel watching people worship him, treat him like an emissary of god, and cheer every hideous thing he says. It paints a bleak and disturbing picture of some of our fellow human beings but some of them do come to their senses with each passing day. 

We will get past this obscenity and his most dedicated followers won't vanish, but they will need to find somewhere else to place their misguided desires. As David has pointed out and I agree, they are always there, they won't be eradicated, but some of them once Trump is gone will likely see that following him was a huge mistake. 

I was listening to someone speak the other day about how these people, the real MAGA loyalists, they were there before Trump became a thing, but they were silent because there is a part of them that knows that these repellant beliefs should not be shouted out in public. What brings them out of the woodwork and out from under their rocks and emboldens them is a leader willing to speak these things in public. That will proudly shout them out at twisted rallies. This gave them license to follow in his footsteps but once he is gone, the only way they continue is another sicko like Trump steps in to fill the void. 

Now, don't get me wrong, I know there are many horrible people in the Republican party, particularly right now, but none have proven they have the ability to spew hateful garbage and excite people with it the way Trump can. He just has absolutely no shame, no morals, no sense of right and wrong. This is why he has a gift for exciting these people. Nobody else in the Republican party or MAGA world has his ability to do this, at least none that I have seen. 

Ron DeSantis thought he may be able to out Trump, Trump. He pulled disgusting stunts, did horrible things to people in Florida, but it ended up sinking him. Even people that support Marge Greene do recognize she is a moron at times. They see her embarrassed and laughed at by people in her own party. She only has risen because she is a Trump toady. Once he is gone, she basically becomes useless. 

We will be rid of these people, it is just a long and painful process getting there. I know that you are in the midst of it there. Far more than probably most of us here. I know you see things that we don't because of that and that makes you a tremendously valuable voice. Thank you for that. I do really believe we are going to beat this madness in this election. It won't be pretty and it will probably be painful in many ways but I think it is a fact that a vast majority of this country sees and understands what an abomination the MAGA movement is and they will let the world know that in November.
