CPAC 2022, or Hate Fest, USA as it is alternatively known, concludes tomorrow. There were many MAGA luminaries in attendance. MAGA has taken over what used to be a perfectly sane convocation of conservative intellectuals and Republican politicians.
Color those days gone. What you get nowadays is one crazed sound bite after the next as MAGAs go after the real prize, interviews on Fox News.
Here’s an example.
Marge Greene says she wants to run for President or VP: “Those are things I’m definitely interested in as long as I think they’re achievable and I can be effective. Yes, those things are being talked about. But, we’ll see what happens.” pic.twitter.com/E9nleaC8JG

You thought Marge in the House was a disaster? Can you imagine her as Veep?
And of course, that’s a teaser. As always, It.Gets.Worse.
This is the most accurate thing he will say in the entire speech. https://t.co/pU94Xr2HDA

Keeping it classy, as always.
Here are a few more, if you can stand it.
Trump claims Manchin told him he would never vote to impeach him and Manchin still ended up voting to impeach him anyway pic.twitter.com/16Q5Il6WWB

Trump: We also need a no holds barred national campaign to dismantle organized crimes. These are street crimes and this administration does not want to talk about that crime. They want to talk about what they think are other crimes and many people say they are not crimes. pic.twitter.com/iZahRC6ZCY

And of course invasion via the southern border is imminent. So sad that Steve Bannon couldn’t get the wall built, isn’t it?

That last part is accurate, nobody has ever seen anything like it, because it isn’t real.
And this clip is tragic. Here Trump gets the big cheers and applause of the night for wanting to abolish the Department of Education. And do what? Homeschool?

And the status quo is intact. Trump has not announced his candidacy for 2024, the RNC still pays his legal bills.
Just to compare and contrast, here’s Trump speaking last night with his new toupee and today he’s got his usual cotton candy soaked in piss hair.
Trump: We are a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement like never before against the opposing political party. They send their law enforcement out to get them because they can't beat us at the polls so let's lock them up. pic.twitter.com/himbpp63WX

“Nothing is real. Strawberry fields forever.”
That last song reference made me think of another Beatles tune. With a slightly modified lyric.
“Margie out in space, with Jewish lasers…”
I think that this Beatles tune is more representative of the RepubliQanon party today:
Tools in the nazi toolbox. The devil’s workshop.
republiCLOWNS. Less than average people with no self awareness.
