The Return of the Penniless Pensioner: Chapter Nine: A Dictator Grooms America: The Power of Non-Ideology

Most political movements are glued and powered by a cohesive and extensive ideology. The Crapaud ideology can be written on a yellow stickie.

Crapaudism is based on manufactured anger manipulated to attract and pander to his base. Anger, often theatrical, is directed towards what inflames his base.

On the opening pages of a very slim book of Crapaudism is xenophobia as what could be more patriotic than despising what is not “American”. It is intertwined with mythical concepts of “America Being Great Again” or reversion to a “Golden Age”

Although the soul of America was built on immigration it is now an evil full of child molesters, drug dealers, terrorists and best be accomplished by closing the borders to the unwashed hordes. Send the armed forces to the borders of the United States and threaten Mexico and Canada to do the same. It is not a question of a well-deserved reform of a shattered United States immigration system but the elimination of it

Crapaudism thrives on exaggeration. For example, tariff threats have been levied on Canada for facilitating the flow of fentanyl into the United States increasing crime and death there. Yet the facts are there are far more drugs and guns flowing into Canada from the United States than drugs flowing into the United States from Canada.

And speaking of factual manipulation of Crapaudism this is the fuel that flames the fires of the uneducated and the educated benefitting from Crapaudism. A recent survey of Trump supporters reveals that 68% of those polled do not know where Canada is on the map

Crapaudism is fueled by the cult of personality and martyrdom. Crapaud portrays himself as a martyr hounded by numerous prosecutors and citizens out “to get him”. Just a regular guy minding his business attacked by enemies vindictively crucifying him from everything from sexual dalliances with Cloudy Daniels to his obsession with Georgia Fried Chicken.

Then there are the attack dogs substrata heroes like border czar Tom Wholesome, the cowboy hatted Secretary of Homeland Paranoia Cristal “Yee Haw” Numbhead, Moron Tusk as chief slasher aka Special Adviser and Rob Bubblehead Jr. as health czar. Bigger than life and yes there are more flamboyant actors in the Crapaud misadministration than Ronald Reguns could have dreamt of.

No need to continue. Ideology requires thinking, Crapuadism requires acting enabling the spotlight to focus on the frightening and sometimes hilarious mouth of Oran Crapaud the President of the United States. A “strongman” and I’m not talking physical strength.

The most insidious and dangerous tenet of Crapaudism is that when he protects America he is “above the law” worthy of a mighty salute from Moron Tusk!
