Libs don't really grok that the biggest winner of Trumpism was the Federalist Society. And it seems to me the GOP missed the lesson of the society's success.
I'm truly amazed that the GOP didn't crib notes from it. The society figured out a way to get Trump to okay the judges they wanted by somehow deceiving Trump into thinking he was the Big Boy making all the decisions. I have no idea how. My wild guess is that they used headshots (and maybe even Powerpoint presentations?) along with a short list of bullet points (Harvard Law: Graduated Asshole Cum Laude) to get Our Big Wet Boy to sign the paperwork. And the whole time they massaged his ego and told him what a big, wise genius he was.
