From around 2008 to 2013 I was politically active and locally a known person. I was the Constitution Party but I had a lot of involvement with the Republican Party in three counties and some others elsewhere.

From around 2008 to 2013 I was politically active and locally a known person. I was the Constitution Party but I had a lot of involvement with the Republican Party in three counties and some others elsewhere. I got to know these people and how and what they thought ... and please recall that things were relatively tame back then compared to 2016 and thereafter. Carrying over the experience which I gained during this period of activity I realized that in watching the 2024 Republican National Convention that about eighty to ninety percent of the people attending the convention probably had no clue as to how they were being gaslighted given the very recent orchestrated event in Pennsylvania. Looking at the spectacle, it was as though I was watching little kids of Romper Room age strutting around in their parents oversized clothing. In short, I think reality died a long time ago.
So, when you say 'dreamworld', it registers with uncommon vividness.

daverkb, the romper room metaphor is perfect! Oh so true.
This country needs a Constitution party badly.
And people who cannot be bought off or compromised ... nor willing to sell their neighbors into slavery (including to foreign powers).
