It is not clear whether Wooster is the dumb moron at the receiving end of the right wing con, or the useful enthusiastic idiot who imagines there is something in it for him to help perpetuate the con. But the con itself and its origins is familiar: never allow the gullible moron to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
It is also not surprising the chip off the old trumpster, the most unabashed practitioner of this con in American politics yet, should suggest it is his parent baboon’s enemies who are like the Nazis.
