MAGA’s whole thing is shitting on others, but nobody shits back at em. Why? We don’t even need to make anything up, they are literal fascists! Calling them weird worked wonders, why did we stop? Was calling those murder cult psychos weird really the most outrageous thing we’re willing to do?

Everyone just accepted it, making it the new normal. We are allowing this senile shitface to define what America is. This is abusive relationships 101. He has zero opposition and no backlash and thus all the power.
We should also make it illegal for foreign diplomats, officials and leaders to visit private citizens and broadcast it. Trump isn’t even elected yet, and dictators have already crowned him the rightful king, and again nobody says shit!
