Dictator Needs His Violent Bully Boys

 

We see exactly where this is headed: "MAGA, any action you take in my name, to uphold my greatness or smash my enemies, you will be forgiven. Go, thou, and do it!"

“By pardoning and commuting the sentences of those who participated in the January 6 insurrection — including violent organizers convicted of seditious conspiracy — Trump has both legitimated the insurrection and signaled to supporters that there will be no price to pay for pro-Trump political violence,” said Nicole Hemmer, a Vanderbilt University professor and the director of its Center for the American Presidency.

"Authoritarian tendencies"?

Members of trump sycophants, the Proud Boys, returned to Washington yesterday to march through the nation’s capital, "sending what extremism researchers called a brazen message to other far-right groups." “Whose streets? Our street,” the group’s members chanted, holding a banner that said, “Proud Boys did nothing wrong.”

“They are emboldened,” said Heidi Beirich, a longtime hate monitor who co-founded the nonprofit Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. “They’re back, and I think it means that their ranks are going to grow, and we’re going to see them involved in all kinds of pro-Trump and other white supremacist activity and their slate has been cleaned.”

In the lead-up to yesterday's executive pardons, Vice President J.D. Vance had told Fox News, “If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned." Vance was clearly miffed at the question: "How dare you suggest that Donald Trump would forgive rioters who attacked police!" Now Vance must contemplate a mob turning on him, should he ever again show himself a weak cuck.

We knew these times would be dark. But ... fuck!
