USA Today's Rex Huppke summarizes the week ahead for the rotted out Christofascist Republican Party/ cult and its cult leader. An excerpt:
...A bunch of GOP presidential candidates who have no shot at the nomination because they only timidly criticize Trump out of fear of alienating his supporters will babble onstage at a library named after one of the Republican Party’s most-revered figures, Reagan, a man who would undoubtedly loathe most of them and would be particularly disgusted by Trump himself.
While they’re doing that, Trump will lie to a select group of supportive auto workers who somehow see a rich lifetime con artist eyeball deep in legal trouble as a sensible choice for commander in chief.
The next day, Trump’s lackeys in Congress will embarrass themselves by spewing a vivid collection of conspiracy theories and innuendos that allege Biden is both a global criminal mastermind and a doddering old fool who should be hauled off to Guantanamo while we wait on evidence to prove whatever it is this collection of right-wing sycophants are alleging.
And then, almost certainly, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his out-of-control caucus will find a way to marry their dislike for governing with their inestimable skill at doing exactly the wrong thing and cause a wholly avoidable government shutdown...
All of the above should matter. Whether it does or not as we move into 2024 will help determine whether our democracy survives a high tide of demagoguery and fascism.
