And putting Bondi’s face on this is brilliant. Just a great piece all around.

It was your inspiration, Rick.

Anyone remember the song “Tradition” from the play Fiddler on the Roof?

The tragic irony:

In Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye’s grip on tradition shatters the family it was meant to protect.

In politics today, blind loyalty and rigid tradition do the same — destroying what they claim to defend while entrenching the power of those who exploit them.

Yes a magnificent song and yet… And yet as Joyce says that blind devotion to the tradition tears apart families and we see that so clearly today

So Joyce, what do you think will wake up the blind followers. I thought for sure the attacking of innocent children should have brought out some sort of maternal instinct in the women and a kind of protectionist in men. Instead, even after shown proof, they still follow Trump to their extinction. I’m at a loss !!

Lisa, I don’t think anything will wake them up. Trump twisted a natural instinct — loyalty and belonging — into blind devotion, then sealed it in with cognitive dissonance so thick they can’t see daylight. History’s shown us this before, from Hitler to Jim Jones. They’re lost, and the only answer now is to remove them from power entirely.

Maybe when it affects them directly. Like job or health. Too bad it has to come to that

They will go down with the ship.

Loyalty and blind faith are the cornerstone character of every stupid cultist "Bible belt" Trump supporter. And The Devil and all his disciples KNOW THIS and USE IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE!!!!!🤬

Beloved sister! Your headline grabbed me; the content shocked me. You mean the minions DON’T KNOW HOW THEY’RE BEING USED?! And feel righteous doing dirty work? That puts me in such a tailspin I may have to take a nap and it’s barely 9 a.m. Thank you for leading the charge with honor and ferocity.

What l can't understand is that people are so extraordinarily loyal to trump and he is so extraordinarily disloyal to everyone. It's always the same, whatever it is that trump demands, he has none to give. Loyalty, love, respect, care, justice, fairness, attention, kindness etc. etc.

He is the spawn of Archie Bunker and PT Barnum who was adapted by Roy Cohn at birth. Roy was the devil whisperer.
