11. Oh, be kind!

. . . . or not.

Trump has sold the idea he would lead 'his' party to untold riches and power, in a land filled with milk and honey, where every road is paved with gold. Throw in a touch of Evangelical Eternal Rapture, and you pretty much get the picture.

And they bought it hook, line and sinker.
Without stopping to think about detail and process.
(Just asking yourself how Trump would go about doing this, would stop most rational people in their tracks and not sup of the Enchanted Kool Aid.)

What you see here is a tribe unfamiliar with logic and rules, slowly seeing their promised rewards slip away in the bright light of Democrats saying 'Not so fast, guys! Now Wait A Minute! There's rules, there's regulations, there's the Constitution!'

Can you blame them if they go into irrational emotional meltdowns, curl up into the fetal position, and suck their thumbs in between loudly proclaiming 'Not Fair! Not Fair!'

But they, they got to their position through irrational and illogical thinking, so maybe an irrational and illogical response is all they have?
