Those on the far right are quite indignant about Trump’s recent conviction.
This suggests that America is under attack, and by terrorists no less. We went to war as a result. Some of these people want war as well — a second civil war. Perhaps talking about it could help, so I asked “Why?” when I saw this post. We’re facing an attack from within, came the response.
Another friend, from college, pasted a suggested new American flag on his social media feed:
“Would you be reacting the same way if the ONLY difference was that it was Biden instead of Trump?” I asked.
“That would very much depend on the facts of the case. It’s the whole point, frankly,” he replied.
I clarified my question: “But I’m simply asking if EVERYTHING was EXACTLY the same, with the only difference being it was Biden and not Trump.”
Silence.
The last post really hits at the underlying cultic qualities of Trump devotees.
