Kadizzle attended his first cult meeting last night. Wow, the head is still spinning. Nothing spins the head like sitting in a room full of the lost for two hours. Cults have enforcers. The Tea Party has a group of self ordained thugs that keep order. Order in their book is making sure no one shows up who disagrees with the party line.
The meeting took place in a church. The Ponderosa Bible Church. Whenever you go to a church that has the name Bible in it watch out. The first sign that you are in a cult like church is two large flat screen TVs on the stage with a drum set, and a white piano. A good Bible Church is going to have a good sound system. Jesus also likes a good drummer.
The meeting starts to get going. We say the pledge and fire out a prayer. The two large TVs have a huge America flag waving. It looks like the action will finally start. Then someone taps Kadizzle on the shoulder and says a man wants to talk to him in the lobby. Kadizzle goes to the lobby where about five thugs intend to throw him out of the meeting. A strange development indeed. Kadizzle is told he might be disruptive so he should leave. Kadizzle starts into an explanation of how the Tea Party gang has spread lies and rumors about Kadizzle. Before Kadizzle can finish his story about the false police reports the cult has made Jeff comes to his rescue. Shirley the Queen Bee of the cult had invited Kadizzle. Jeff attends all the cult meetings and Jeff does not drink the cool aid. Jeff is not one of them. When Jeff appears he explains to the thugs that Kadizzle is being welcomed and introduced by Shirley, so Kadizzle needs to get back to the meetin room. As Kadizzle walks back in Shirley welcomes him and he thanks Shirley. The thugs must be confused. The rattlesnake Enga was the motivator of the thugs. Enga must be Queen of the thugs.
Now there is some sort of hubbub. Apparently the guest mental case is not happy about something. Wendy Rodgers the insane right wing candidate for state senate is upset about something. Kadizzle is getting the impression she wants Kadizzle thrown out of the meeting. She must have been aware of his sins earlier in the day. Nope, Wendy is insisting the editor of the Payson Roundup be thrown out of the meeting. Now this takes the cake. The editor runs a good newspaper and portrays the insane as insane. Wendy aint havin it. Out the editor goes, and then Wendy makes a grand entrance. Next she launches into an attack on the editor explaining this is how you deal with people who tell the truth. Well it was a Trump type fake news speech. The next Payson Roundup should be dynamite.
After Wendy destroys the concept of democracy and free speech she drones on about the other mentally ill running for office in Arizona. She brags about her role in promoting right wing insanity. Never does she mention anything she promotes other than right wing fear. The Hoopleheads love it. The whole thing is like a mini Trump rally. Finally she is gone, thank ya Jesus. Then the guy running for state superintendent of schools does his routine about banning books, critical race theory, and making sure liberal ideas are kept out of the schools. At one point he declares his opponent tagged Abraham Lincoln as a racist. One good thing about the meeting is reality and Truth don't get in the way.
Kadizzle promised Shirley he would behave. To make sure Kadizzle was under control Jeff came over and sat beside him to remind him he must not disturb the cult meeting. Jeff is a great guy. Jeff does his best to inject reality into the cult. Jeff is actually a good democrat that somehow has befriended the cult. He is like the dog we used to see that followed the coyotes around.
The nonsense was just about unbearable, and Kadizzle was tempted to leave early. DJ had left earlier out of disgust or boredom. Kadizzle sat beside DJ. DJ had never been to a cult meeting before and he was there to get some photos of Wendy Rodgers for the paper. Kadizzle was surprised they let him in and did not harass him.
Forgot one special crazy part of the show. The guy running for school superintendent had great big posters showing how his opponent helped pedophiles communicate with school students. Supposedly his opponent has set it up so perverts can communicate with students, get their information and sell it on the " Dark Web". This little burst of insanity took the cake.
Praise Jesus the meeting finally ended. Kadizzle had a nice little chit chat with one of the enforcers then went over to thank Shirley for the invite. Kadizzle asked Shirley if he would get a pin for being good during the whole meeting. Shirley shook Kadizzle to the foundation. She opened her arms and gave Kadizzle a big hug. Shirley seems like a good woman at heart caught up in a storm of insane people. Hopefully the fog will lift for her. On the other hand her buddy the rattlesnake is does not have much humanity in her.
Well there is good news, and bad. Everyone should attend a board meeting at an insane asylum to get a feeling for the Tea Party. Jeff remarked at one point as Wendy dronged on " She is mentally ill". Most of us can recognize mental illness. It is the detachment from reality that gives it away. People in the Trump cult see mental illness as a special blessing. The good news is the small number of hard core cult members at the prayer meeting. The bad news is the 71 million cult members soaking up the right wing conspiracy lies, and propaganda.
The cultist love the idea of being scared by paranoia, and fear. The Wendys of the world know exactly how to stoke this weakness. Seeing it all in action is disturbing. It is just too easy to lie to these people. The experience is so much like going to the casino, or the carnival and seeing the rubs get robbed. Our only hope out of this mess is education and Republicans are doing a great job of destroying the school system. Stupidity has spread and done way more damage than Covid. Sadly you cannot vaccinate against stupidity. If you don't think it is highly contagious go to a Tea Party meeting.
