In the case of MAGA morons the price is selling their souls to defeat democracy.
It brings to mind the classic fantasy about a simple New England farmer (Jabez Stone) who made a deal with the devil in exchange for wealth and power for seven years. At the end of that period the devil would get his soul.
For those who have read the book, The Devil and Danield Webster, it was a warning about the consequences of consorting with the devil.
Farmer Stone came to regret his deal and turned to the greatest legal and oratorical mind of his day. Daniel Webster.
Webster challenged the devil to put his contract with Stone away and to the test in a fair trial. In case you never read the book I won't give the ending away.
In the 21st century version of the story Trump is the devil and his minions have signed contracts selling their souls to the former twice impeached and convicted sexual abuser.
Unlike farmer Stone who regretted his decision to sell his soul MAGA cult members (aka faux Republicans) are enjoying their newfound clout in our society.
But a time of reckoning is coming. The signs are in the news every day as criminal investigations against Trump continue to bloom and come to fruition.
As for Trump's cult members they have been getting steadily kicked under the bus to protect him in the numerous investigations, scandals and conspiracies he's involved with.
As it stands, the last seven years with Trump polluting politics and promoting conspiracies has tested the souls of all Americans.
