There is nothing the Party of Personal Responsibility loves to more than dodge responsibility. As we noted in this space yesterday, ex-MAGA contrition is nearly always deeply imperfect contrition. Case in point:
This, being translated, means, “I remain as vengeful and stupid as I always was, but I don’t want to take responsibility for it. So instead of admitting that Biden did a pretty good job, I will lie that he forced me to vote for a visible-from-space con man for the second time when I had already witnessed his criminality incompetence and treason, claim the con man ‘let me down’ and then claim ‘the system’–not my culpable, stupid, and spiteful choice–is why I am where I am now.”
Don’t get me wrong. It’s a sort of contrition and is about the best you can expect for a cult that reflexively scapegoats and shifts blame and has trained itself to do so for decades. But it’s nothing like full contrition and nowhere near a firm purpose of amendment. Compared to a healthy, normal person it is barely registers as repentance on the Richter Scale at all. But compared the the orange messiah this guy is rejecting–who is chronically incapable of ever admitting he has been wrong about anything in his entire life–it is at least a start.
The impressive thing is that God will honor even this half-assed stuff from us and encourage us to keep going and do better. We should too. But that by no means we have to pretend that this stuff is anywhere near satisfactory and nor does it mean we should not confront people who do this on their baloney.

It’s not honest for former MAGA to play dumb. Saying things like “he lied” does not cut it. He lies constantly. He lies about things that that he doesn’t even need to lie about. He’s an obvious con artist that any honest person with a normal IQ would immediately recognize.
Trump has been in office since January of last year with a Republican Congress. Yet everything wrong is Joe Biden’s fault. MAGA refused to accept responsibility for anything.
Playing dumb is not a defense. They either knew and were dishonest or they are incredibly stupid. They put this sorry man in office, gave him unlimited power and the result is catastrophe.
Now, they are surprised. I don’t buy it.
Biden has always worked for the banks. He was *not* a good politician/representative of the people. He did what he was told like the rest of them.
It is evident that the in-your-face evil we are witnessing hasn’t and won’t move us in a meaningful way. I’ve been told by those familiar with the occult that evil has to show its hand, and always does. The problem is that we haven’t suffered enough to care and rise up. We are fully occupied now.
Evil won’t have the last say, (and knows it) but God doesn’t owe it to us to save this country, and our “freedom”. We will face a terrifying judgement for what we turned our faces from, and lies we gleefully believed.
