    Oh, one more thing that comes to mind every time I see donnie diapers hawking his stupid wares to slack-jawed yokels. I’m reminded of “Bob”. It’s like someone took some of the satire of the Church of the Subgenius and made it a real thing. To wit, here are some famous quotes from “Bob”:

    Make them pay as much as they think they can afford.

    You won’t appreciate it if you don’t pay for it.

    You’d PAY to know what you REALLY think.

    I don’t practice what I preach because I’m not the kind of person I’m preaching to!

    Act like a dumbshit and they’ll treat you like an equal.

    Don’t just eat that hamburger, eat the HELL out of it!

    Everyone here is stupid.

    You know how dumb the average person is? Well, by definition, half of 'em are even dumber than THAT.

    I always lie . . . and I’m always right.

    I mean, all of the CotS was about making fun of cults and religion, but…donnie’s cult looks not that much different, except w/o any satire and without any humor. Especially when you add in the Qtarded stuff. Q reads like someone who tapped into CotS (or the Illuminatus Trilogy, etc.) and just did not get the joke, much like idiots that thought the Colbert Report was actually done to support right wingers…

      I read the Illuminatus trilogy when I was 23 (yeah I know) and for about 50 pages I almost believed it. Then I read the rest of the book and quickly realized it was satire (the golden submarine and Nazi Zombies are pretty big clues).

      “Bob” has Slack. Trump has delusions of adequacy. They are not the same.
