Did not read it, but coalition is not the right word. The Democrats do that. The right is more of a gut feel crowd. They don’t really even discuss politics much. The look at a leader and listen and it is mostly a sort of mysterious bond they make with terrible people like Trump. Politics is barely a part of it.

They tend to treat whatever Republican is President at the moment as literally God’s Chosen One, complete with pushing supporting him as a religious duty in their churches; it’s just especially bad with Trump.

Which is just bizarre considering that he’s pretty much the Seven Deadly Sins mashed together and dressed in a suit.

A bad suit, at least the NAZI’s had good taste.

I’ve said this before, the people that filmed the movie “Devils Advocate” were looking for a NY Apt to film in. They where going to ‘decorate’ it like the devils apt. The crew that came looked at Donalds Apt., laughed and said “We don’t need to change a thing”

You all have seen pictures I’m sure.
