Trump Is No Longer the Problem. His Army of Followers Is

"....Indeed, if one were inclined to worry, this current manifestation of legal nihilism, maximalism and nullification are far more dangerous than the version we learned to live with for the past four years, because this new one is now operating separate and apart from Trump. We don’t have to wait to see what happens when Josh Hawley or Tom Cotton runs as a “competent” authoritarian in 2024. Even without a formal figurehead, competent authoritarianism is seeping up from below. It’s coming from Trump supporters who deny the legitimacy of the election, state officials who are pushing false claims, lawyers making laughable arguments. Trump is almost immaterial to them. The real problem is the emboldened Trumpists who refuse to give over, and Ben Sasse and Mitt Romney notwithstanding, that behavior goes from the people who attend the MAGA rallies all the way up to the top of the GOP"

Any one who dismissed that meme of Trump being in the way, here is one of the Left's propaganda outlets starting to beat the drums for the troops.
You're going to see more of this.
Right now its being sort of nebulous, but at some point, its going to be direct, as in a "final dolution" type of direct.
Not trying to scare people here, but we better be prepared and if you don't have one now, make sure you're networking in case the balloons go up.

His army of ARMED followers, Lib loser.

They are trying to crush the movement now. The GOPe is fine with this by the way.

[Daveinyork]

This brings pots and kettles to mind.

Be afraid, be very afraid! **demonic laughter**

I am never again a Republican- I am a Conservative - and I relish the day that the Left tries to eliminate us.

[mrmeyer]

Armed, angry and not looking for “healing.”

[1Old Pro]

Trump will once again harness the power and enthusiasm of the MAGA movement, no worries, patience needed.

Those RINO’s dissing him had better sharpen their resumes.

[Cheesehead in Texas]

Sounds like a anti-marxist shadow government is forming.

competent authoritarianism is seeping up from below.
Sometimes known as “we the people”.

Where as with democrats it is incompetent and comes
from above like other dictatorial schemes.

Never too soon for the Left to start disparaging any Republican running in 2024.

[goodnesswins]

Says a member of the party who has spent the past 6 months destroying cities like Portland. ....they know we are not stupid, but they think their “followers” are...and are gunning things up for battle.

[SpaceBar]

Behold commie filth (the author)...

[dp0622]

Agreed.

Dark days ahead for the republic if biden wins.

“I am never again a Republican- I am a Conservative”

I am a Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative patriot.

Slate, you have no clue...

[Fido969]

After 4 years of the Russian hoax, these people have a lot of nerve.

Hillary telegraphed this stuff with her “deplorables” remark.

Now we _know_ they hate us and want to destroy us.
