Did we really see what we saw? A bunch of giggling repubs literally wheeling a "Golden Idol" of beachy Trump with his crotch covering tie and boogie shorts into their CPAC convention? How many evangelicals does it take to deify the ex-Pres? OMG Apparently irony is not resident in their playbook. Did they pelt the statue with their valuables and kneel down in worship, or at least line up to conduct selfies with a golden ass?
I recall we had a whole Biblical bruhaha over an ungrateful people who got bored as Moses made scarce talking to a burning bush for, who knows, weeks? days? hours? Upon his return glowing from the encounter, Mr. M experiences another unworldly encounter as his people are merrily praying and mardi-gras-ing around a golden calf. Did not make sense then and does not make sense now. Cost them 40 years in the desert which sounds about right. Do you suppose taking away their cell phones and maga-otty paraphernalia is comparable? Perhaps four years of sane and responsible government will be punishment enough.
It is possible they needed the statue to prove their loyalty to the ex-pres who, much like Midas, only responds to gold and narcissism. A two-fer so to speak. I imagine he stood proudly beside it with that goofy, myopic grin and pumped his fists to good old YMCA, not realizing what an incredibly ridiculous meme it has become. I like to imagine some sarcastic independent thinker came up with the idea of mocking the old man with the golden salute and got the mob to agree.
Perhaps the adoring fans should check the commandments they are so vehement about posting everywhere and reread Numero Uno. You know the one about no other Gods, etc., etc. I think that's taking politics just a little too far to feed your fantasies and hatred of all things different.
