35. Sad but true,..

... and the dorito shaded guru leading said base never misses an opportunity to stoke those fears either.
He knows his audience alright.
The main thing I consistently hear from those "truest of believers" unfortunate enough to buy into his sad little philosophy casting himself as the hero whom will save us all from original logical thoughts are always fear based :
1.) Unimaginable numbers of socialist despots are waiting at the door to take away everything we as a free society hold near and dear,.. thus leaving us in unending subservience to them forever more.
Or.. behind door number 2.) Every individual possessing even the most minute amount of Latin blood on the face of the Earth have somehow managed to band themselves together covertly and organize themselves into seemingly random M13 lead caravans,.. all in order to invade the good ole U.S.A. and force their unwanted drug shipments upon every U.S. citizen therein and perhaps snatch up a few white women to take back home for use as slave labor.
Thankfully we have trump to save us all from such atrocities huh?,..
Why just imagine what would happen were he not in office with open arms complete with tiny hands ready,.. willing and able to save us all from common sense and reality with his unequaled business moxie and experience.
And to think,.. all it took was a little ole wall,.. a wall which he'll no doubt build himself with his very own delicate little digits if necessary.
The most concerning scenario of all is that both ridiculous "sales pitches" have proven more than effective in beguiling his base to an even greater extent.
Throw in his never ending attempts to discredit our own intelligence agencies and operatives as being unreliable and disingenuous,.. dismissing them as plotting against him and his sincerest wish to save us all from ourselves,.. and it goes far beyond the outlandish and enters into the realm of the truly dangerous.
