A few days ago I wrote about the return of medieval idiocy.

We’re seeing the medieval Personality Cult up close this week. The press and other courtiers are always devoted to the Person of the King. The actions and behavior of the King are utterly irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if the King is a baby or an incompetent imbecile or an evil monster. Everyone must sacrifice and die for the Person of the King, and everyone must fight and die to defeat the Pretender To The Throne, whether Nixon or Trump.

Proof of concept today in DailyMail.

A fundraiser and organizer of wealthy Democrats is dishing on why Joe Biden won’t drop out of the 2024 election. Dmitri Mehlhorn, who organizes wealthy Biden boosters like LinkedIn CEO Reid Hoffman, made noise last week when he said that either a ‘dead’ or ‘comatose’ Biden would be better than replacing him on the ticket with Kamala Harris.

I was underestimating the SPIRITUAL aspect of the Cult Of The King. This is more like the Catholic idolatry of relics, worshiping leftover hairs and bones and embalmed bodies of popes.
On the Repooflican side, the Trump Cult constantly sends email ads for Prayer Cloths and Rosaries in the form of MAGA hats and gold MAGA flag jewelry.
