(234 posts)20. The Uber Right
They lie with a confident grin,
Get folks to believe from within.
When truth comes to light,
They still swear they're right
Pride won't let them admit it's a sin.
They swindle with brazen delight,
Sell poison as moral and right.
When truth breaks the spell,
Theyll march into hell,
Still claiming their cause is in sight.
Theyre duped by a carnival show,
Then swear its the best way to go.
Though facts intervene,
Theyll still say, Its clean!
While sinking in lies toe to toe.

When they believe they have God on THEIR side, there may be little, if anything, the rest of us can do about it.

Trump is many things: a skilled demagogue, a talented con man, a practiced liar and a consummate bullshit artist.

Fascist playbook. Demonize a minority and get people to do your bidding. Against their own good.
