I’m Not a Liar, You’re a Liar

       Trump Republicans have labelled Democrats as socialists, or worse yet, communists, when in fact the Trump Republicans are the communist-socialist-neofascists.  As Trump would say, “Many people are saying…,” which precedes the lie that comes from the proven liar’s mouth.  He’s big on lying.  At least that’s what many people are saying.

       Why, you may ask, are Trump Republicans socialist-communist-neofascists?  Because they believe in a Bolshevik dictatorship that provides remarkable needs and services to the elite class, especially those with radical right-wing views.  They shamelessly ignore the poor and disenfranchised because Trump’s brand of Bolshevik rule regards the underclass as inconsequential and dispensable.  More, they, the Trump troops, believe that no matter who votes for whom, what finally counts is not who gets the most votes but, rather, who gets to count the votes. And, of course, the champions of a nationalistic right-wing system of authority will be the ones counting the votes.  I know that does not sound very democratic, but many people are saying that I’m right about that.

       Take the Big Lie, for instance.  Trump claims “everybody knows” that he (Trump) won the 2020 presidential election.  Everybody?  I didn’t know.  So, I asked around about that claim.  Hey, many people are saying that Biden won the election.  In fact, nearly everyone who is not a communist-socialist-neofascist is saying that Biden won.  No lie.

       Whether or not a would-be Republican accepts the Big Lie is now the deciding factor in identifying a loyal Republican.  Either you are loyal to Trump, a known pathological liar, or you truly believe that Obama was not born in Africa, or you doubt the correctness of the 30,573 lies Trump bloviated during his four years in office.[1]  “Sorry, losers. My I.Q. is the highest and you all know it," Trump tweeted in 2013.  That’s what Trump shamelessly proclaimed.  By the way, would anyone with a high I.Q. say such a thing?  Not once have I heard an intelligent person talk about his or her I.Q. 

       What a piece of work is Trump!  Many people say that he is a rapist, a womanizer, a draft dodger, a tax cheat, a megalomaniac, a narcissist, a white supremist, a racist, a fraudster, a traitor, and a barefaced offender of all seven deadly sins, though I’m uncertain about that gluttony category, but I’ve heard that he supersizes his burger orders.  Even so, millions of people adore him.  Go figure!  More importantly, and to the point, many more people, a clear majority, are saying that of the nearly eight billion people in the world Trump ranks near the tail end of the quality of character line, only surpassed in horribleness by three cannibals and two mass-murdering terrorists.  No lie.

       He reminds me of Il Duce, Benito Mussolini, the fascist dictator who was both a bully and a charmer, a browbeater who organized the Blackshirt squads, thugs who find their current American expression in today’s Proud Boys.  Although I must admit that Benito was far smarted than Trump, the two share similar weaknesses of character: over-the-top pride, ruthlessness, vengefulness, and strongman fascist leadership.  

       Frankly, the media are disgusting, Trump claims, the way they point out his admiration for tyrants such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Mohammed bin Salman, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.  Many people are saying that those autocrats are good guys and know how to control losers who start witch hunts, and so on.  But, once again, most people consider those tyrants to be oppressors and, even worse, killers.

       No lie.
