2023 Trump to MAGA supporters: "I am your retribution," vowing to use second term for vengeance

Hey MAGA,

Is "your retribution" giving a rapist/child sex trafficker a get out of jail free card?

Is that part of your f'ing "retribution"?

This keeps happening.

Say it with me: Everything out of their mouths is a lie and/or projection/confession

@WarnerCrocker I can't figure out why people aren't out in the streets in droves. I know all the arguments why they're not. There's one that "trumps" them all: Fascism

@Lightfighter

I'll also add that every time people are pro-active, it adds to their feeling of having some power/control. And seeing others protest encourages others to do the same, and again, projects power vs feeling powerless.

Every single bit of protest works. It has changed minds and actions already.

@WarnerCrocker

Can't get more in-your-face than this.

Holy - and I cannot emphasize this enough - shit.

Also, this guy was a senior project 2025 organizer.

Trump's "America":

“You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.” Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use “funny” and quipping: “You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.”

@WarnerCrocker There's never an IF anymore

When Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, every single headline should read:
