Attendees at this years Conservation Political Action Conference seem more lost than ever.
maybe i’m cynical, but this one caught me off guard.
While speaking from the CPAC stage Friday in Grapevine, Texas, American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp asked a question he apparently thought would hype up the crowd.
“How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?”
The crowd erupted in cheers.
interesting, and much to schlapp’s chagrin, because
“No,” Schlapp responded, shaking his head. “That was the wrong answer. Let me try it again. How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” he asked the crowd for a second time.
Again, he was met with cheers.
“NOOO!” Schlapp responded with a chuckle.
there’s a video, and it’s really worth a watch.

one last excerpt, this one from melody schlapp yesterday
“I’m not hearing a boo when I say Joe Biden, people! Come on! We do audience participation here!”
It would be funny if it turned out that literally everyone was against Trump now, but the propaganda bullshit media systems have just been propping up the false support for him and it’s just a bunch of talking heads giving out scripted pro trump content for nobody
There definitely are still some insane idiots out there who are still full-on Trump-aid drinkers.
But their numbers are dwindling by the day.
(Sadly, it’s high gas prices that are driving many of them to finally wake up from the cult, not any of the countless better reasons to leave that cult … but I’ll take what I can get.)
