"It's Their Own Fault" [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 9 November 2025 | John Semmens

Several Trump Administration officials including top adviser Stephen Miller, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, have felt the need to live in military housing in order to be safe from politically motivated violence.

An article the Atlantic by Michael Scherer, Missy Ryan, and Ashley Parker pointed out that "this is far more frequent than what has been the case than in the Obama and Biden administrations. Maybe it's MAGA's own fault. They ought to look inward for answers as to why this might be occurring. Perhaps Trump's policies are at odds with what the masses want."

"From what we are seeing on the streets, the masses are at odds with Trump's determination to deport individuals who unlawfully entered the United States," the authors wrote. "We didn't see any mass demonstrations against Biden's policy of inviting foreigners to come to America. The masses also seem to have disliked Trump taking sides with Israel over its war with Hamas. They marched in the streets calling for Israel to stop fighting and to allow Palestine to reclaim its land from the river to the sea. There have also been demonstrations in favor of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the two attempts to murder Trump before he was elected. No one tried to assassinate Biden. Can the MAGA folks not read the crowd?"

"Clearly, Trump and his ideas are out-of-step with everything that has preceded him," the authors added. "How can he expect people who desperately sought his election defeat to just give up when they failed at the ballot box? Progressive policies and socialism are the wave of the future. Resisting them will only delay their ultimate transformation of our government and culture. The MAGA folks need to reconsider whether trying to delay this transformation by a few years is worth risking their lives."

In related news, US district judge for Washington DC Colleen Kollar-Kotelly voided President Trump's executive order requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship, establishing that they are eligible to cast their vote in federal elections, before being allowed to cast a ballot. "The decision on whether to require identification in order to be allowed to vote is currently left up to the states," the Judge ruled. "Some may deem it worthwhile to require ID, others may be indifferent on IDs, some may be positively against IDs feeling that it violates the premise of a secret ballot. The President has no say on the matter."

"Maybe it's MAGA's own fault."

Classic 'blame the victim'.

"They ought to look inward for answers as to why this might be occurring."

Typical dumbfounded journalism by an airhead in an empty suit.

The "masses" don't indulge in violent demonstrations; we vote.

Nice Marxist term, comrade.

--- "The 'masses' don't indulge in violent demonstrations; we vote. Nice Marxist term, comrade."

While the term is used four times in an article the OP posts, most of his "semi-news" is other people. But the link tells of his aim ----

He wants to send you to him at GOPBriefingRoom.

The link, not hotlinked, reads:

https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php?topic=572358.0

He's not much of a Freeper in terms of interacting with others on their threads. But he does promote himself.....
