Chaos? A distraction from whatever else he's up to that night be worse? Idk.

I agree that the behavior will absolutely continue. But if the new leader doesn't have that special "something" that everyone rallies around, the cult divides.

Again, I still have no idea what people see in Trump or why anyone would choose to follow him. But there's obviously something about him that appeals to them. Visible anger and hate for everyone not in the cult? Promises to destroy them all? Idk.

I think you're absolutely right about the hate vs. fear. But when the charismatic (Trump? Ew, how?) cult leader dies, sometimes the cult doesn't have anyone else they all believe in, and it breaks apart. I'm hoping for that.

And The Handmaid's Tale was supposed to be fiction. But here we are.

Ghost peep!

I've had a Kindle paperwhite for multiple years now (7?) and I use Libby to check out books from my local libraries.

Wall Calendar 2025, Japanese Woodblocks: https://a.co/d/0ueyiiG

I've gotten this calendar 7 out of the last 10 years or so. They use mostly the same pictures every year, but change the pictures for each month around a little, lol.

A ticket is $575! And that's like, starting price. No wonder the average income of the attendees has gone up. They're the only people who can afford to go. The rest of us down here spending our entire paychecks on rent and food can't be wasting money on shit like this.

Other people organized, staged, and enacted that coup. When he realized it was happening, he decided the coup stagers were "loyal" to him, so he was on board from that point on.
