...for someone to bail them out of their poor financial choices, job loss, life's failures, et al. As a student of history, Trump's entreaties to his unwashed, degenerate and deplorable masses sounded all along like, yeah, Adolph Hitler's mantras of 1933. In fact, his entire approach was eerily similar in making identity politics a regular thing. Democrats, Rino republicans, gays, all minorities and more became instant enemies.

The appeal of a savior that would bail them out of WHATEVER dilemmas they were in was very strong and in my mind surpassed a number of other negative issues the media has promoted. But, the good news is he could not deliver! As a result, we are now reading how quickly those MAGATS have become deflated and disillusioned with Trump's politics and him in particular.

Sure, a hard core of MAGATS still exists but the numbers will quickly shrink (drowned in a bathtub maybe?) as Pres. Biden's agenda is fast surpassing the uneven, for-the-rich-only, and plain, flat-out, ill-conceived and poorly executed actions by Trump and his caravan of miscreants.
