Trump's followers were led down a dark rabbit hole, chasing the BIG LIE that was fed to them morning noon and night, lies from the mouth of a well established con-man. What happened to them is similar to what happened to members of the Donner party.
In the spring of 1846, a group of nearly 90 emigrants left Springfield, Illinois, and headed west, led by brothers Jacob and George Donner. The Donner party decided to leave the well established trail and take a new and supposedly shorter route to California. They were instructed to get off of the main trail, and take a so called shorter route by an unscrupulous huckster named Lansford Hastings.
They soon encountered rough terrain and numerous delays, and they eventually became trapped by heavy snowfall high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. They were soon reduced to mu.rder and cannibalism to survive through the winter, only half of the original group reached California the following year.
The moral of this story is, stay on the main roads that are well marked, and well lit. And never listen to con-men who try to lead you down dark roads and rabbit holes.
As Virginia Reed, a survivor of the Donner party, said in a letter of advice to a relative traveling to California a year later:
"…Remember, never take no cut-offs, and hurry along as fast as you can."
