I get the sentiment, but MAGA being furious at anything doesn’t mean much. They only have that one state.
The magnitude of their anger never changes, but it does change direction.
They’re assmad4lyfe.
Rectal frustration
Haven’t they hated him for months or years now anyway?
But why are they always furious?
Because they scared of everything
Yeah they also get furious at books and healthcare.
“Your Boos Mean Nothing, I’ve Seen What Makes You Cheer”
And Bud Light
When they went after the OG neighbor Fred Rogers, they showed us who they fucking were, FUCK the GOP
And cartoons and movies. At this point aimless fury seems to be their default state.
If things aren’t bad, then the religion they tend to have in common is false, because it promises a depraved and lawless world that needs their religion in order to survive.
Can’t even begin to countenance that people are happy and altruistic in spite of their religion.
It’s especially hilarious when you see how antithetical it is to their holy book. Chronically angry and infuriated is not how I would describe the depiction of Jesus. When he did get angry, it was against people being hypocrites or selling things in the temple or mistreating the poor & foreigners.
They’ve created a religion that is antithetical to their holy book, and they’re told to rage against the very things their figurehead would support. It’s no wonder evangelicals want kids to be illiterate.
That’s because black people could get the same healthcare as them or read about their mistreatment in the past. Can’t have that.
read about their mistreatment in the past.
I cannot believe we’re working on preventing this.

To the point even that some black Republicans are going “hey Ron this is going a bit too far”
So there are time when MAGA is NOT furious?
Sure. When a cop murders an unarmed black person. In the immediate aftermath of a school shooting. Any time a lgbtqia+ person commits suicide. Imagining an 11 year old being forced to carry a rapist’s offspring to term. Burning books. Any time they see a confederate flag. Most time spent watching Jeff Dunham.
Is Jeff Dunham somehow a favorite for conservatives?
Achmed the dead terrorist and jose jalapeño are GREAT bits for crowds that hate specific demographics. You do the puppet math.
I watched some of his comedy as a kid and even then I could tell something was wrong. Once I got older I realized what a racist hack he is.
Yeah it’s intensely uncomfortable
MAGA usually seem pretty happy when they are limiting or taking away the rights of women, people of color, or people that love someone besides the their opposite sex. Another time they are happy is when they are instilling their christian religious beliefs in law while at the same time repressing non-christian beliefs.
In Mitt Romney’s defence, if I had to choose between four more years of Joe Biden and Donald Trump potentially forming the Fourth Reich, I’d choose Sleepy Joe any day of the week.
I don’t like Biden but he needs our energy. The opposition is so much worse.
Almost like Romney is one of the few Republicans with some actual fucking integrity.
It’s only a Reich if it’s from Germany. Otherwise it’s just sparkling dictatorship.
Since the US never ratified the Treaty of Versailles, they can still call it a Reich
Romney is no saint. Just because he is being pragmatic now doesn’t make me trust him.
I can say the same for Joe Biden though. I don’t like his history or his politics but a vote not for him is a vote for Trump next November.
I hate this fucking reality.
This election is going to be one of the worst ones and that’s saying something.
That is what they say every single time. But hey, if we’re unlucky or they cheat, which they will… then it will be the last time they say that.
This election will be interesting when Trump is in prison during the actual election in November
It’s very likely he still won’t be locked up by then. Maybe if the DC trial starting in March can get through conviction and sentencing quickly. Or an even longer shot would be if the GA case gets the August date they asked for and can get everything done by November. He probably won’t see real consequences until 2025. Just hope he lives long enough for everything to finally catch up to him.
Why can he even be a candidate when there are criminal charges against him? I don’t understand the system there.
The US Constitution doesn’t prohibit people from running for office while in prison. On the one hand, it helps to prevent the party in power from jailing their opponents to keep from losing power. On the other hand… Well, this.
Famously, Eugene Debs ran his entire campaign from prison.
Keep in mind that the constitution was written by people who were all considered criminals, so there wouldn’t have been much appetite for being hard on “criminals” in the political process.
Also think on the civil rights reform era. Many of the very well respected figures of history were, at the time, convicted criminals under unjust laws.
Of course, it is inconsistent that in many states a felon can run for office, but can not themselves vote. I would say the weird part is that they aren’t allowed to vote.
In short, in a sane world, we should not have to rely upon disqualification to judge a candidate for their crimes. Nor should we have to fear the felon vote, even if they want something unreasonable, they should be drowned out by the more reasonable voters. Even as many folks may currently be on the side of “I don’t want that asshole to be able to run”, there’s a slippery slope from that to having candidates you do like get disqualified owing to unjust laws or application of law.
Since the Constitution doesn’t say it, the entire politcal population us entirely too goddamn stupid to do the obvious.
It would have been super weird for the constitution to be upset over people considered criminals, since the founding fathers were considered criminals by the British government.
Trump will not see a day behind bars in his lifetime.
Even if he does get convicted before November of 2024, which itself is not guaranteed, he will almost guaranteed be allowed to remain free while the appeals play out. This is a process that normally can take months or years. Throw Trump being Trump into the mix, and it’s very likely the appeals will extend beyond his lifetime.
I used to think it would never happen. Now I think it just probably won’t happen.
I’m not willing to bet the farm on him not going to prison anymore though. Shit is stacking against him, and there’s almost certainly more criminal charges on the way.
One of his top employees broke down on the stand the other day and mentioned a handful of investigations including a criminal investigation that was not publicly known before then.
Fucker just needs to live long enough, but I don’t know that his cardiovascular system has what it takes.
Guess it’s good he’s not running for office now or re-election later, so he can openly not give one rat’s ass about it.
Amongst the GOP, “many such cases”
MAGA furious in much the same way my 1 year old neice was furious that I wouldn’t let her drink paint last weekend.
Quoting them directly, “Fuck your feelings.”
They transformed him into a RINO lol
Removed by mod
they always say stuff like this once they’re out, since they aren’t playing the game of willfully obtuse anymore.
Sounds like some people need to learn to lift themselves up by their own MAGAstraps
(To the tune of ‘The Eensy Weensy Spider’)
The melty little snowflakes went off the rails again,
“Why won’t fuckin’ Romney stay on the Trumpie Train?”
A zombie’d surely starve there, tryin’ to find a brain,
As the melty little snowflakes go off the rails again.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Senator Mitt Romney faced backlash online Saturday from supporters of Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement after a resurfaced interview showed him saying he’d vote for Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.
Romney, a Utah Republican who has served in the Senate since 2019, announced in September he won’t seek reelection in 2024, citing age as a contributing factor.
In late October, Trump denounced Romney as “a total loser” who allegedly “begged” to be appointed secretary of state in 2016.
However, Romney has since continued to become a prominent Trump critic and was the lone Republican senator who voted in 2020 to convict the former president after he was impeached for pressuring Ukraine to open an investigation into the Biden family.
The book features several moments of harsh Trump criticism from the Utah senator, including his description of the former president as “really not smart.”
In previous response to a request for comment, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek that Romney is "a certified loser who announced his retirement after everyone learned he was serving himself instead of his constituents.
The original article contains 731 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Also people on Twitter are big mad. I actually think you’re a good bot for leaving all that nonsense out.
What are you gonna do MAGA? Kill him?
Honestly, they might. A lone wolf might attempt it, but it will be worse if Trump wins.
If Trump wins the presidency, he will kill or jail anyone he doesn’t like. The Republicans plan to take control of the federal government without congressional support, and Trump openly tells us his intentions. Even if Romney didn’t say this, Trump would still target him, so of course he would vote against him.
It’s not a joke. Trump became more dangerous and more driven to become a dictator by losing in 2020. He was always going to try to overturn the constitution to become president for life by 2024, but now there are no neoliberal conservatives to hold him back. It’s total fascism time for Republicans.
Isn’t it amazing there are so many “lone” wolves in the GOP? Almost like their very actions create them.
It’s legal plausible deniability. They tell the lone wolves what to do with coded language on social media, but don’t directly communicate with individual terrorists.
