I'm absolutely convinced that the people who voted for Trump knew that he would cause harm... [View all]

But they believe that he will only cause harm to the people that they hate and fear.

It’s all based on a rage that’s detached from reality. The rule of the angry mob, a burning whitelash that’s been smoldering since the Obama term.

Once Republicans take over they’ll conveniently forget about all of the things that they’ve on Biden and Harris and continue to attack the weakest and most vulnerable people in our society. The cult will cheer them on.

And then the other shoe will drop, as the cult will find out that they were the targets all along. The cult will cheer in their own demise.

Welcome to white supremacy’s mob rule.

America only has itself to blame and perhaps it’s left up for the repercussions to pick up the pieces.
