It can't be their behavior, because that really sucks.

I'm always curious, why do people repeat their reply title in the message text, thereby asking us to read the exact same thing twice? It's just strange to me.

It's anthem rock and bumper sticker slogans in the age of political populism.


WHen they back BLM (an empty slogan and code for Black people) and ANtifa (they don't even know what anti-fa means--or what a fascist is), they've fallen.

Um, when they back Civil Rights for all and eschew white supremacy, they've fallen.

The whole strap on a gun over my belly because I can't see my dangly bits anymore is no substitute for you know, cognitive brain function. They all look exactly like the guy who peaked in high school, shaved his head when he started losing his hair, and keeps his lifetime supply of Bud light right below his bellybutton.

They ran away. Cowards. The only thing those boys have to be proud of is the absence of melanin. and girlfriends or wives.

Just like the rest of the GOP. They are all going loopy over the idea that DFT will no longer be in power. So many things will happen after January 20th that they don't like.
* His tweets will get hidden, removed and banned
* He will no longer be able to ignore subpoenas
* He will have to pay for his own parade of armored suvs
* He will be a LOSER

Chump has gotten a free ride from Twitter all these years, but that's coming to an end.
He won't be getting free TV time either.

His base hasn't become crazier than before, it's just that the "sane" people have been quietly leaving him. What remains are the nuttiest idiots who will never leave him. Chump is too dumb to understand the difference.

Many of them expected a joint fascist-police coup, and for police to provide cover for fascists to “clean up.” And sometimes they have provided that cover. That said, they failed to see the alignment of forces. Yesterday’s pro-police demonstrators will be tomorrow’s “anti-government” protesters who see police as Biden’s and (insert Democratic mayor name)’s thugs.

1. Apparently "open carry" is only acceptable to peebees when it's "whites only."
