Reason to believe?

Today’s posting will be very short and not so sweet. It’s been triggered by my listening to some folk songs from back when, especiallly one written and recorded by Tim Hardin. It focuses on this question:

Did Tim Hardin foresee the candidacy of Donald Trump and his following of MAGAts and tRumpsters?

Read these lyrics and I hope you’ll see the reasons for my question. Perhaps the campaign could try to turn it into a theme song.

Tim Hardin Lyrics

"Reason To Believe"

If I listened long enough to you

I'd find a way to believe that it's all true

Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried

Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live

Without somebody else

Someone like you makes it easy to give

Never thinking of myself

If I gave you time to change my mind

I'd find a way to leave the past behind

Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried

Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I listened long enough to you

I'd find a way to believe it's all true

Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried

Still I look to find a reason to believe 

I can almost understand why some disenchanted voters supported a reported con man in 2016. Unless they're too embarrassed to admit how wrong they were, I can't comprehend why anyone would vote twice for the same loser.
