who have decided to worship Donald Trump as their God

Former Republican Rick Wilson unleashed an epic rant against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Wednesday night. As part of the mockery of the South Carolina Senator, Wilson outlined new rules for Republican officials to follow under the leadership of President Donald Trump, who he called “Sniffles The Clown.”

“The assertion by Lindsay Graham that today’s bizarre performance by Sniffles The Clown was on par with ‘Tear Down This Wall’ is part of the Saddamification of the GOP,” said Wilson.

“What are the new rules?” he asked.

  • Never be the first guy to stop clapping when Trump speaks.
  • It is always the Year Zero; memory and consistency is the enemy of loyalty in the Trump world.
  • Your superlatives are insufficient. Praising Trump properly demands a new vocabulary of obsequiousness.
  • Your humiliation in his service will asymptotically approach infinity, with the pain and shame mounting but never reaching the sweet release of death.
  • Never tell him the truth. He is the tallest, most handsome, brilliant, and richest man in the room.
  • Even when he’s wrong (and he’s almost always wrong), race for the TV cameras to proclaim that you and everyone else was simply unable to grasp the sublime complexity of his 47-dimensional chess game.
  • If he wants to mount your spouse, let him. You let him screw your reputation, honor, dignity, principles, and political priors. Why not your wife?
  • Always give the Trump Crime Family a cut of your consulting contracts for the campaign and the RNC.
  • Never forget that if you don’t suck the chrome off the metaphorical trailer hitch, someone else in Washington will. It is a city without elected heroes.
  • He will let you die in prison. Prepare accordingly.
  • Snitch or get snitched on. Trust no one. Lie constantly. Don’t sleep in the same place more than two nights. Moscow rules.

These aren't new frankly - this is how GOPers have behaved. Trump embodies the GOP. And now that the veil has been lifted, we see the true nature of the GOP.

And to be fair, the GOP isn't really conservative. They are more Capitalist Yes Men than conservatives. American conservatism got sick in the 1970s. It got deathly ill in the 1980s. Slipped into a coma in the 1990s. And died sometime early in the 2000s.

Trump knew this. Which is why he coined the phrase Make America Great Again. We all know what the GOP is all about. They don't care for America. Or religion. Or fiscal responsibility. Or rights. Or morals.

They are governed strictly by money - obtaining it, at ANY cost.

The GOP is a zombie at this point in time. A brainless husk of evil behavior.

If you want to understand intra-GOP warfare, the decision-making process of our president, the implosion of the Republican healthcare plan, and the rest of the politics of the Trump era, you don’t need to know about Russian espionage tactics, the state of the white working class, or even the beliefs of the “alt-right.” You pretty much just need to be in semi-regular contact with a white, reasonably comfortable, male retiree. We are now ruled by men who think and act very much like that ordinary man you might know, and if you want to know why they believe so many strange and terrible things, you can basically blame the fact that a large and lucrative industry is dedicated to lying to them.

Because there was a lot of money in it for various hucksters and moguls and authors and politicians, the conservative movement spent decades building up an entire sector of the economy dedicated to scaring and lying to older white men. For millions of members of that demographic, this parallel media dedicated to lying to them has totally supplanted the “mainstream” media. Now they, and we, are at the mercy of the results of that project. The inmates are running the asylum, if there is a kind of asylum that takes in many mostly sane people and then gradually, over many years, drives one subset of its inmates insane, and also this asylum has the largest military in the world...

They are not even true capitalists IMO.

They are too busy catering to the corrupt intents of the powerful and the wealthy.

They are destroying capitalism and replacing it with cronyism.

True capitalists should vote against Republicans.

They are in truth post-capitalists. Capitalism has very nearly run it's course and come all the way back around to feudalism.

He didn't even come up with that phrase, he stole it from Reagan' 1980 campaign. Reagan's slogan was Let's Make America Great Again. He dropped one word and the chuds went wild, thinking he's a genius.
