That does it. I am going to officially make this the PZ motto and stick it somewhere on the main page: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up. I don’t know if the world went through some kind of a toxic cloud in space and that’s why everybody has gone crazy, but emphatically, something happened in 2016 and we are not the same country. Another aphorism I’m fond of repeating is, “A pickle never goes back to being a cucumber.” We’re not going back to pre-Trump “normal.”
Donald Trump is having a rally in Illinois tonight to bolster Mary Miller in her reelection bid to the House of Representatives.
The faithful of the cult are gathering, as is always the case, but the man you’re about to hear is so incredibly strange that you’re going to be tempted to think he’s a plant. Maybe he is. Maybe it’s Borat in costume. Take a look and decide.
Guy at Trump rally today says he used his “reputation as the holistic guru of the world” to flip 15 million votes to Trump, he then talks about how Hitler and Stalin used fluoride to poison people in 1936, then something about the vaccines and mercury. pic.twitter.com/Bf3J061slJ

You remember Dr. Strangelove? General Ripper started talking about the fluoride and then he went to the precious bodily fluids and then it all went to hell very quickly. But this is the new normal and this is the new normal guy, right here.
Here is another gem.
Woman at Trump rally today is asked biggest thing Trump accomplished in office: “He really brought our country together, for once. I can’t think of a president, at least in my lifetime, who’s brought us together as a whole like that, and just helped us all positively.” pic.twitter.com/zYDqr7zhY0

Oh, yes. Trump’s powers of unification are legendary. Indeed.

The military loves Trump. I’m sure that’s what General Milley was saying to Mike Pence when they were on the phone January 6, how much he loved Trump, along with all the other “suckers” and “losers.”
Here are two cultists testifying about the electric moment they met their orange god. And the hair is still standing up, thinking about it.

And maybe this guy is independently wealthy to be able to spend $30K on gas alone to go to Trump rallies.
Guys at Trump rally today say they have driven to every single one around the country and have been to at least 40. They said they have spent $20-30,000 on gas to attend, and are complaining about gas prices. pic.twitter.com/nsiWrAD7SK

Maybe he’ll end up putting the cost of a college degree into Trump rallies. Isn’t that a horrific thought?
More clips will appear and masochist that I am, I will post them here.
I guess America needed a cult figure. Too bad P.T. Barnum isn’t here, he could explain it to us.
