The new site won’t be ready until sometime next year,
although people are testing it -- and hacking it -- already. Just what we
need. “TRUTH SOCIAL,” it’s called. How Orwellian.
Truth?
Find a dictionary that defines “truth” as whatever comes into a speaker’s
head. Then repeat the definition until people start to believe it.
This pathetic apparition just doesn’t know when to give up the ghost.
The publicists for this burst of brilliance point out that
the Taliban can post on Facebook and Twitter but a former president of the
United States can’t? “Where’s the justice,” they whine?
The whiners have a point. Can you imagine what it takes to
be considered so bad that the Taliban is better and more deserving of public
space?
Thing is… don’t underestimate this thing. Yeah, it’s likely
to be about as successful as trump’s casinos and his gaudy hotels and so-so
golf courses. But there’s always a chance that it will catch on and the
Genius of Jamaica tries to keep his grip on a political party and movement that
is marching toward the edge of the earth it flattened and is about ready to
fall into space without benefit of NASA or Bezos or Musk.
It’s hard not to be trapped in the trappings of an office as
lofty as POTUS. But trump’s missing them something awful. The question is
are his followers missing him? Sure. He amuses them. He entertains them. But
the movement no longer needs him. It can head for the end of the earth all by
itself.
What Cadet Bonespurs doesn’t seem to realize is that the
movement that coalesced around him doesn’t need him anymore. Oh, they’d like to
have him in the same way that bible thumpers wave around their book. That
is, it’s a symbol, an amulet. But need? Of course not.
Let’s say you stick up a 7-11. As you run out the
door, the book you always carry falls to the ground and you don’t pick it up.
Only later, you realize it’s missing. No real loss. All you have to say
is you have a personal relationship with the author and start quoting what He
tells you.
trump may need them. But eventually he’ll get over
it. One way or another.
