What's the equivalent of confirmation bias - when you doubledown ever harder on a lie, the more obvious it becomes that it IS a lie? These people have pinned their every last hope for a return to the days of Beaver Cleaver on this fool; somewhere in the hindbrain they realize, if(when) he goes down, their dreams go forever with him. But that's not where they thought they'd be back in Jan 2017, so they're clinging desperately to the notion that every accusation against him is further proof he's fulfilling their fantasies.

Eric? They kinda stopped being Communists in the early Nineties. I can't think how you missed it - it was in all the papers for a while.

There is also a Masque of the Red Death vibe going on here, what with Putin being the former Communist spy chief turned democratically-elected crime boss.

And continuing with the Poe references, isn't Pepe the Hopfrog an alt-right icon?

Come to think of it, one of Poe's non-gothic projects, The Balloon Hoax, has strong Trumpian parallels, what with his ballooning, yet incredibly fit live-to-200 health and hoaxes.

If Poe were alive, he would probably drink himself to death.

Il Douche just makes up this shit on the fly, while blathering to his deplorables or to his sycophants at Fucks Gnus. It makes no sense because it doesn't need to make sense - it just has to sound good for the 15 or 20 seconds it takes him to spout it (that also being the attention span of the dipshits he's talking to.)
