The Return of the Penniless Pensioner: Chapter Seven: A Dictator Grooms America: To Dream the Impossible Dream

The Storm Troopers may have failed to deliver a coup d’etat on 6January2021 to the defeated President Oran Crapaud but that was destiny. The rag tag hysterical bunch was too disorganized and poorly armed. But they propped up the foundation of a powerful myth of the “Stolen Election” a great injustice to Crapaud and for that matter the majority of Americans deprived of their right to vote. So dramatic! Such a swindle that deserved a fist salute from a wannabe dictator and some upside-down bible waving.

Then the intertwined MAGA myth of Make America Great Again and The Golden Age, the latter reminiscent of a strip of paper in a Chinese fortune cookie. A harking back to a mythical past almost biblical.

Buttress the myths with tariffs promising the creation of thousands of new paying jobs and revitalizing an end of the ropes steel industry. The question of course was America ever great and if it was then for whom? What did they say in the circus….the bigger the lie the easier it will be believed.
