Trump supporters should ask themselves this

Is there anyone in the country, or the world, or the universe that could step up to a microphone and say:

"I am asking for calm. Donald Trump is plain wrong. He lost the election by a lot. His own administration has said that this election was secure, free, and fair. Republican officials in several states have said that this election was secure and nothing indicated that there was any amount of significant fraud."

Would Trump supporters listen to anyone saying these words? Can you think of one individual on the planet that could say these things and would be believed by the vast majority of Trump supporters? Yeah, me neither. That is the definition of a cult. Where only one person on the planet is the voice of truth. Think about that.

I think the deep-seated hatred and resentment was already there for many conservatives to begin with. Trump just legitimized it. I think one in four Americans have always been like this, wanting an excuse to take that feeling of resentment out on others, but for the most part, they learned to disguise it because they had to live with others who didn't feel that way - and they have generally been egged on by hard-right media, which represents interests that do want to see a weak Federal state.

in addition to those he previously insulted and condemned including their previously revered Bushes, McCain, Romney, Repub FBI and DOJ officials , Gen. Mattis and Kelly and Chief Justice Roberts too.

Any Repub who dared stand up for truth and reason against the cult leader is now labeled a corrupt traitor.
