This golden statue of Trump at CPAC is a perfect metaphor for the state of the GOP

    Just remember folks, it isn't a cult. No matter how much it appears like a cult, it isn't one. Not one little bit.

    Just keep repeating that.

    I am looking forward to seeing a photo of the original Trump and his stature together. Wonder what Donald's reaction will be.

    It really does not do him justice ;-) Trump being appearance conscious. ie : Image is everything.

    Your comment made me curious so I looked up some other Trump statues.

    Nude statue of Trump (displayed in several cities)
    https://abc7news.com/politics/nude-statue-of-donald-trump-pops-up-in-la/1475140/

    This one is in Slovenia (Melania's home country) and was burned down.
    https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+statue+slovenia

    It's interesting to see how various artists "capture" their subjects. Now, I'm wondering what did Trump think about other works of his likeness.

    Republicans worshiping a golden statue of Trump. Hilarious.

    The one consistent action beting taken by the R's right now is the continuing assault on democracy.

    The insurgency of Feb 6, the over 60 lawsuits, Trump trying to strong arm Georgia into overriding the election outcome, the campaign of lies concerning the election - these are certainly elements.

    Now we have Republicans in state after state responding to the fact that they didn't win.

    And, that response has nothing at all to do with improving or communicating what they can do for America.

    Instead, they're working on preventing people they hate from being allowed to vote.

    AZ is possibly the worst, with their bill to allow top goernment officieals to replace electroal college representatives with ones backing the candidate THEY like - thus tossing democracy.



    The RNC is reforming itself as the anti-democracy party.

    And, they are doing a pretty darn good job of that.

    Now the RNC comes out with a golden Trump!!!

    How BLATANTLY could the RNC declare what segment of the US population they represent ...

    ... and what segment they could not care LESS about.

    And, they back that up by strongly opposing the COVID relief bill designed to help businesses and individuals who have faced financial devestation due to this pandemic - a wildly popular bill that even has the favor of a majority of Republican citizens.

    That thing is absolutely iconic.

    It describes the Republcian Party perfectly in so many ways.

    This statue of Trump fits to a tee. It sure does mock Trump as he should be.

    It certainly does. The sad thing is that the party's focus is no on working for the entire country. How does America benefit from this new version of the R party?? How can anyone rely o n this morphing & undefined entity ??

    You can't honestly compare a statue built in admiration to a balloon built in mockery.

    You know, before the election, I would've argued against the idea that if you're a Trump supporter, then you're in a cult. At best, I would've said that some of them display cult like behavior. Maybe I was blind or in denial then or maybe they went into full cult mode after the election. Either way, I have no qualms about calling a spade a spade. Trump supporters are in a cult.

    The artist wants to see it go to future Trump Presidential Library.

    Fake News. Your rather stupid source missed the fact that this:

    [​IMG]​

    is clearly just folks engaging in light hearted fun. It is not caste from melted Jewelry and it will not be followed by a mass orgy. Who does the moron you cited write for again? Vox.

    Conservatives are dedicated to the conservation of American Constitutional Liberal Democracy.
