You don't think he's going to trade up? Pretty old model, and there's a lot of new blood to grab out there.

The fact is only demagogues have rallies to feel good and incite mobs.

Presidents appear or speak to unite the entire nation behind them and their policies.

Donald cannot be Donald and be President. He is unconsciously coming to that realization.

The presidential run was purely a manifestation of a needy narcissistic personality.

Sure, sure, you can make your funny little jokes now....but just wait till the inauguration ball when Trump starts off his speech, "I want to thank the orchestra for this wonderful composition especially for Elsa (liebchin, he says turning towards the puzzled Melania) and me to begin the ball"

Whereupon begins the overture to Gotterdamarung

Joke's on us.

Shot of the Furor bunker as artillery shells rattle the walls:

Hair Furor leaning over the map board: "SS Propaganda Gauletier Bannon, send in the Air Conditioner Carrier Division to block the enemy, I know more than the Generals!"

Gauletier Bannon: "Hair Furor, excuse me but the Air Conditioner Carrier Division was never organized, you didn't save their jobs and they went over changing sides"

Can we permit ourselves a moment of ironic fantasy, at the idea that someday the Wehrmacht will make a final drive on Washington DC where Trump is bunkered and gone to batshit defcon extra special primo level 1, and after he immolates himself, the German general tears down posters of Patton an Macarthur which festoon the bunker and lead a terrified Kelly Anne Conway to safety, gently urging her to release slightly her disabling hold on him--"she's safe now..."

Is "Hair Furor" yours?

I was thinking of something more modern, like 1984's 2 minute hate rituals. We love you, Hair Brother....

We won't have the Red Army to get rid of our Hair Furor. Trump is planning Nuremberg like rallies of the faithful, hateful and delusional:

His aides say he has also expressed interest in continuing to hold the large rallies that were a staple of his candidacy. He likes the instant gratification and adulation that the cheering crowds provide, and his aides are discussing how they might accommodate his demand.

“I think Trump has discovered that these rallies are tremendous opportunities for him to get his message out,” said Christopher Ruddy, chief executive of Newsmax Media, a conservative website. “It’s actually sort of old-fashioned, that you want to actually meet people and press the flesh with him.”

Thanks. Have to credit my wife for the thesis.

She is my better half or 3/4 with understanding people (...often including myself, as now in my post-election depression!)

Could even a rational mentally sound person maintain their sanity with the nutjob right wing loons and grifters around him?

For this Briebart/GOP bunch, their ideological convictions are as entrenched against objective reality as the Stalinists of the 30's purges. Whose devotion never faltered even as he ordered their execution.

The target today being the planet itself, in service to their true base, Wall Street, corporations, and the everlasting survival and enrichment of the 1%
