    They forget that in a day or two. They literally have the mental capacity of a toddler.

      Toddlers eventually learn though, and progress. Trumpy people a more like dogs: They can appear clever, but only up to a certain threshold. They may even perform useful tasks and tricks for their handlers. But ultimately they need someone to feed and supervise them otherwise they’ll eat something they shouldn’t and get sick. That same contented trot, and look of purpose you see on a dogs face while their owner walks them is what a republican gets when they’re getting walked by fascists. Both the dog and the republican think they’re part of a pack. Both the dog and the republican will be euthanized by their masters when they become too burdensome or they’ve outlived their usefulness.
