Imagine your lawmakers not believing in enforcing the laws..

IT'S A CULT.
I can't scream it anymore. After 9 years, I'm exhausted.

[Teelirious]

"It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character."

—Joseph Heller, CATCH-22

[marcosreyes]

You mean it's frightening that educated people will still vote for Donald Trump? I one hundred percent agree, but my family thinks I'm the crazy one.

[stephenstafford]

"Gird your loins." They cannot be allowed to destroy our nation for their criminal.

[ianreed]

The worst thing about Trump isn't what we've learned about him, it's what we've learned about our family, friends and neighbors that still support him.

[CaptainCologne]

Didn’t Trump say he would testify, after saying he couldn’t testify because of a gag order? (Both lies) Character matters folks.

[sjt]

Vote every single anti-rule of law, anti-democracy Republican out of office.

[denisesaunchegrow]

Video of all of them, the GOP dressing like him, that will live on past our times. Falling in lines like The Leader requires, and then after being convicted, still standing there with him. Shameful.

[modeep]

This is what I don't get: Your party shouts from the rafters about how they are all about "law and order" but they CLEARLY fully support their own obvious criminal behavior on a regular basis?

[lauralafauve]

They have been building up to this for decades.

[anthonyperno]

Why are you surprised? This has been building since the 1996 election and the creation of Fox News.

[ronaldcole]

That behavior is called a cult. Where individuals no longer think for themselves. The end however, as all cults end, is a horrible thing to have to watch.

[whybkqt]

Their world is crumbling around them. Let the childish excuses begin!

[nicholasgallanis]

Common practice in authoritarian & fascist states as well as cults.

[robinhood]

People forget 147 republicans voted to overturn the election and voted to injure 140 police officers with 5 dying.

[BlueWaves]

Cult, cult, cult, cult. It will be funny to watch how they all react once Trump is no longer around. They'll all pretend "oh no! They were never part of that."

[griffin]

It's time for Fani Willis to demand a trial commencing August for her RICO case

[victoriawilliams]

I've long referred to THEM as Cult-45.

[BonafiedMeidasTouchian]

But this can only be denied sooo much. Soon his other cases will come out and after while the pattern of who this man truly IS will be Brightly lit for ALL to see. Justice is JUST gettin started✅
