One of my conservative friends posted a "Carly Fiorina for Secretary of State" graphic on Facebook.

It wasn't a joke.

Trump for President.

Cruz for Vice President.

About 6 others including Fiorina.

I'm still kind of numb all over from seeing it.

They are giving permission to their crazy followers to expose themselves.

It's fucking awful.

...the same "fanboy" following that actor Ronald Reagan had, this die-hard admiration of qualities the man just didn't have (as Frank Zappa would have said, the qualities were "only in the imagination of the imaginer&quot is playing out with Trump, too. He's making promises he has no way of keeping because he knows he just has to throw enough red meat to the base.

The same friend who posted the Fiorina graphic had one of the Senate floor, with Trump's head Photoshopped onto a male figure standing in the center, with the caption "YOU'RE FIRED."

And another was one he shared from someone else's page, of Trump promising to "arrest Obama."

At first, it's amusing, then it goes straight to disturbing.
