It's inscrutable because of the inconsistency of the position that life is a punishment and a test with a known outcome. Cruz and his cabal of conservative, neo-confederate followers and other adherents to Calvinist precepts are believers in predestination, a disavowal of free will. And, yet, they soldier-on as though it matters, as though there are indeterminate outcomes in a determinate world, and as though God's omnipotence somehow falls short in the endowing of free will.
Cruz was brainwashed at a young age and is unaware of the goals of his programmers, the overthrow of the U. S. government in favor of a totalitarian, religious state. His unconscious mind, abetted by conscious elements, rebels on his behalf in trying to assert free will with a cry for attention by fabricating national ailments, made-up self-diagnoses, such as homosexual gangrene, health insurance leprosy and debt dementia. It's all proxy and projection, an indirect and encoded message.
The moral decay imputed to society is his, but his megalomania and ambition have resulted in misdiagnosis on a national scale. In fact, this behavior is a disorder in itself, a syndrome, and is creating other maladies through its strength and its virulence, the neurosis having infected an entire political party and overwhelmed several Southern states, including Texas, his home. His family is deeply implicated in the delusion and its compulsion and will surely never recover.
The fear of censure and retribution will ensure it even if there should be some glimpse of reality, the family members having witnessed, more so than anyone, the father's determination and violent, persecutory fantasy life, as seen in his interest in the death penalty, deportation and other punitive measures. He is determined that we become his national family--he the papa figure, the president, and we the national hostage-children. What a fate in a democracy!
