Weapons of mass delusion: when the Republican Party lost its mind. Indeed, and that means the people of "America" have lost their minds, because delusional Republican Party are poised to win the midterms. Will we survive the rule of this Classic Xer-type delusional Party in "America"??
WEAPONS OF MASS DELUSION! What we've got here, is, failure to communicate. And we're gonna git it.
Billionaires are funding huge numbers of ads for total creeps and incompetents like Ron Johnson, Dr. Oz, Herschel Walker, Mr. Vance, and others, saying "oh, invaders are coming across the Democrats' open borders! Democrat prosecutors are letting the criminals out! Liberal policies are causing inflation!" My theory is that the companies are deliberately price-gouging us, not only because under Republican neoliberalism they can get away with it and reap huge profits, but because they know the inflation that they create will hurt Democrats' chances in the midterms and bring Biden's approval rating down, and the resulting Republican policies will vastly benefit them and their total assault on Nature.
Get ready for our country to be ruled by Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Marjory Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, who are wrong and destructive on every single issue that affects all of us!!!! MAGA Republican candidates are able and determined to put our country under the thumb of the billionaires that fund them, and of the fascists, prejudiced leaders and cults who stoke their followers. Racism, Religious Extremist Authority, QAnon and conspiracy culture, xenophobia, anti-vax, misogyny, homophobia, environmental destruction, trickle-down economics/"anti-socialism", democracy denial, anti-journalism, gun massacres, cult worship, political violence, attacking election workers, you name it. They are ALL WRONG. And David Brooks calls Keri Lake and her Party a "working class party"? Even on PBS we have pundits who distort and obstruct the truth about this fascist Party. These freaks will dictate to Republican leaders in congress what policies to follow, and will have their way.
How can we react to this takeover of "America" by the Classic Xer crazies? Just give up and cry? Get guns and join a liberal militia? Leave the USA and go to some other declining country? Get mad and yell at our opponents? Try to be the voice of reason and get in a position to communicate like this author, Robert Draper? Try to help spread his message? Try to get the Democrats off the dime? Donate and work for Democrats despite the odds? Can anything work and save our sanity? I don't know at this point. If I could, I'd like to run up to Greene and sock her to the ground. But she is a cross-fit trainer, so I'd have to get more fit to do this. Or maybe get some gangs together and confront their gangs? Like antifa does? Meanwhile some of my new age and holistic friends would say to love them and win them over and sing kumbaya. I tend to to think it's not a viable approach; these creeps are so far gone it is truly incredible. It's fight or flight time. Time to get our adrenaline in gear and that solar plexus going!
So can any of these 4 become the next Trump?
Note that Greene (Xer, born 1974) has a 16-6 horoscope score, same as Joe Biden. She is a demogogic threat to be the next Trump and run for president and win! She is a champion fund-raiser.
Paul Gosar (late Jones Boomer born 1958) got himself censured by congress, and that shows he doesn't seem to have much of the knack of persuasive power overall and tends to go overboard. He scores only 4-9 as a USA potential presidential candidate. Somehow Greene can be just as outrageous in her views as Paul but she has a better knack.
Matt Gaetz (born 1982, early Millennial) got himself in trouble with scandal, and maybe the law, so he might not have the knack either. But let's see what the "stars" say. One thing for sure we know, and that is that he LOOKS like the total creep that he is. Well, the stars say his creepiness might have some appeal to his fellow creeps, with a 9-5 score, just one negative point more than Trump's 9-4 score. Like most other candidates, he could beat Kamala Harris easily, or some other Democratic Party loser-- of which the Democratic Party has an abundance to choose from.
Lauren Boebert (born 1986, Millennial) is probably the worst one the lot, or at least tied with Greene. She is the pistol-packing mama, sure to appeal to Classic Xer. As the potential next Trump she has much the same score as Matt Gaetz, 11-6.
The birth times are unknown for these 4 candidates, so the scores could change a bit if they become known or if the scoring system changes a bit after presidential elections.
Traditionally, congress representatives don't have the status to run for president and win, but these days you can never underestimate the appeal of total creeps to today's creepy America.
One Trumpist who may have some status if elected governor is Kari Lake of AZ. Born in 1969 (Gen X), David Brooks says she is a rising star, and that she is leading a "working class Party" I guess so, if "working" means to implement extreme right-wing policies and defy federal law and obstruct democracy. Despite supporting Obama's opposition to the wars as a Democrat from 2008 to 2012, she has now totally embraced complete anti-vax conspiracy theory against vaccines, mandates and masks and endorses remedies proven to be phony and dangerous. She would deport all illegal immigrants and build Trump's wall in AZ. Abortion is a sin to her, and would sign a total ban if passed, and she opposes laws against transgender discrimination. She is against any gun control. She opposes what she deems "woke curriculum," such as "critical race theory." She would scale back opportunities for people to vote.
"Lake falsely claimed President Joe Biden did not receive 81 million votes and that Arizona (which was won by Biden in the 2020 presidential election) was actually won by Trump.[49][52] After the 2021 Maricopa County presidential ballot audit found no evidence of election fraud, she demanded the election be "decertified"—a legal impossibility,[49] as such a process does not exist.[53] She endorsed a false assertion by Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington that Democrats use mail-in ballots to rig elections. Lake tweeted quotes made by Sidney Powell on Lou Dobbs Tonight falsely asserting there was a sweeping election fraud conspiracy. She has advocated imprisoning Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (who is running for governor in 2022 as a Democrat) on baseless and unspecified allegations of criminality related to the 2020 election.[49] Lake also called for imprisoning journalists.[49] Lake repeatedly and falsely claimed that defendants arrested in connection with the January 6 United States Capitol attack were being "being held in prison without being charged"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kari_Lake
She has opposed funding for education movements, but also is against sales taxes on groceries. Does she have working class appeal? Does she support trickle-down economics? I don't know much about her policies in that regard.
"Democratic Party strategists are watching Arizona's Kari Lake with growing alarm.... Why it matters: As some see it, Lake — a 2020 election denier — could easily win the state's gubernatorial race and threaten its 2024 election processes. And with the talent she's already displayed even as a political novice, they see her potential to soar to a vice presidential spot or a post-Trump presidential candidacy."
"David Axelrod, another key former Obama adviser, offered this assessment of Lake's 20+ years in Arizona local TV before her entrance last year into politics: "If you get a candidate who has the performance skills of a major-market local TV anchor and the philosophy and thinking of Steve Bannon, that's a potent and dangerous combination...."

The alarm is well justified. She scores 16-4 on my horoscope scoring system. I don't know her birthtime yet, so this score could shift a bit if it becomes known.
