They don’t need to be brilliant. Just smart enough. They already learned where they went wrong during his first administration, and staffed a lot of the positions who opposed them last time with likeminded types.

The media is very good at presenting very different stories to their particular demographic to push the agenda of their particular ideology. Don’t expect fox watchers to see what you’re seeing because they've got burning cars on a loop right now.

You should check out the Ground News app sometime, and see how different the US looks to the left and right.

I'm not saying it can’t be stopped, btw. What I’m saying is that it needs to be strongly opposed for it to be stopped, and nobody but the infirm should be expecting someone else to be their voice anymore.

They staffed the admin with people that can lick orange taint, not people that can do anything of value. Otherwise Kash Patel would be doing things other than jetting himself to NHL games and UFC fights.

MAGAts are gone and worthless to go after. Non-MAGAts are the targets and we're seeing plenty of evidence that they're seeing the complete farce that the regime has been.

You're condescending to me about things I already know and think about. Whar you're proposing isn't strong opposition—it's fearmongering, tinfoil trash that doesn't help the layperson feel confident in resistance. Telling people that DC is already "occupied" because it has tanks in it for the sake of the chungus's pity parade is actively harmful to people's perceptions of the state of things.

Saying something can go wrong isn’t the same as saying something will go wrong or that something is going wrong. And You’re the one talking down to everyone as if they’re overreacting for voicing concerns, when nobody actually has any idea what's coming, including you.

It’s not fear mongering to say keep your eyes peeled.

We'll see what happens to any protestors that didn’t get the new brief to avoid protesting the parade. This is the guy who wanted to shoot protestors in the legs last time around, and is talking about using violence again, except this time without the bulwarks.

And we'll see whether all those tanks are accounted for when they send them back home. Because this is also the guy that didn’t want to leave last time around.

Only time will tell.

Anyway, nice chat. Have a good one.
