Mr. President.....Tear Down This Stage

          In the beginning I felt a little bit queasy while watching a President Trump rally. I'm not exaggerating....in fact I'm understating how uneasy I felt....but as time passed it was like....'OK....fun is over....this is serious stuff....it's time to get down to business'....but he kept on going with the same music and the same rally and almost the same words....which went from being promises to just mantras....that's when it started getting worrisome....for the people kept cheering....as if something informative was actually being said.
          Folks....something doesn't necessarily have to be true or false or healthy or unhealthy for psychologists to study it and rest assured they are right now studying the mind control techniques of the Donald Trump pep rally....the latest held in Minnesota last night....not exactly Western Pennsylvania....but to be honest President Trump could probably have filled some kind of arena here also. President Trump's stance on today's immigration votes was not even mentioned....negative vibrations are never mentioned at rallies.
           It's certainly nothing new....a charismatic figure develops a following....it could be Vladimir Lenin or John Lennon....and the people are going to rally around them....and even at times worship them. There is a level of credulity today in the conservative movement that is alarming....with the Maha Rushie leading the way. Objectivity is lost....and critical analysis non-existent. Anything that the guru figure says is automatically believed. He smiles and waves as he passes by in his limousine....with chants and the tambourine as he nears....ecstasy and the tambourine as departs. The Trump rally is Donald Trump's limousine....he enters to music and chants of USA USA USA....recites the mantras....and he waves and smiles as he exits the stage to music once again.
