Most of them will scream and complain, but in the end, they are the minority.

and not too deep - they are a very shallow bunch of folks, really. Not a whole lot of "there" there - just a chamber to echo in.

Hopefully before 11/2020. But knowing his cult, Rush will tell them that HRC poisoned him & they will go to war with the left anyway. They are so batshit crazy. I have a few in my family & the things they believe leave you with your jaw gaping.

.... brings the war criminals he just recently pardoned to he 2020 Nazi Rallies. trDump could really crank up the hyper-radical guns and lawless branch of his base.

Those are the RWNJs who are prone to violence, head to toe camo gear, criss cross your chest with amo belts, assault weapons hanging off each shoulder, and no shame - in your face full display of toxic masculinity because it is so macho meat-head manly and tough.

It is not beyond trDump's to stir up the above type of RWNJ into a fanatical group into a rampage of revenge because politics is not going exactly and precisely the way the wanted - toward fascistic authoritarianism - where he is crowned despot of the quasi-military junta.

He anoints them protectors and defenders of (his) the new trDump/putin International Fascist Theocratic Oligarchic Realm.

Then the real danger to Democracy would begin and by osmosis rapidly spin wildly out of control beyond any realms of sanity.
