Now that Trump no longer has his 24/7 sell.
Will some be able to divorce from his mind-set?
Will they get out from under his spell?
Some Republicans are trying to follow in his footsteps.
Being led by a faction of their constituents.
Lawmakers are hostage to their votes.
We all know that it would have been a different Republican show.
If Trump was a Democrat – No doubt about that.
His charades would have fallen flat.
But Trump knew which Party to hijack.
So too did the Alt-Right.
Which group was ripe to embolden them and house their coup.
Theirs were not mistakes –
Their words, actions and deeds have been deliberate.
Some Republicans say they did not mean for this to be.
But they need to do some soul searching to see
What at their end, made allowances for this to happen.
It was an easy call that Trump would not have led with compassion.
He leads how he lives –
With divisiveness and vindictiveness.
But he didn’t keep it within his sphere.
He took over to spread it everywhere.
His gains lead to America’s loss.
That will be felt for some time to come.
Do any Trump supporters or voters have regret?
About the many deaths from Covid-19?
That happened due to the negligence of Trump and his team?
It wasn’t just the absence of leadership and planning.
But the deliberate deception and scamming.
Giving misinformation as they aimed for the low hanging fruit
Of politics and the gains that come from telling untruths.
They have people believing that
The virus was a scheme made up by the Democrats.
And that wearing a mask is dangerous.
When in reality it was their lack of governing that endangered US.
And some of those who say they are for life and against kill
Trying to stop others from getting vaccinated.
During January an American died every 28 seconds from Covid.
Half a million deaths have occurred and it’s still climbing.
Not the kind of momentum we should be riding.
Are Americans numb to these numbers –
That represent human beings, loved ones, family members?
Trump never acknowledged the deaths.
He hasn’t spoken to the deadliness of the virus yet.
He said it will just go by US.
But when that didn’t occur he never did adjust.
That’s the leadership many Americans chose.
And it’s hard to believe many still think it should be a go.
Trump has stubbornly kept his stance.
Never compromising on his Trumpian brand.
Separating himself from politician, Republican and religious.
But influencing them as he gave attention to their visions.
No pretense that he had a moral compass
Yet they embraced him, as if they never had a conscience.
So he has been able to boast and gloat.
He can do so much harm and not be held accountable.
It’s often his loyalists and US who pay the price.
And even though that’s recognized, people still align.
With no end in sight to this side of America.
It’s beyond reason.
As Trump is trying to secure a chance for another season.
The curtain hasn’t been drawn.
The fat lady continues to sing on.
