Donald Trump’s number two has found himself to be the number one target of several faithful members of the MAGA movement, including Jan. 6 rioters.

    Ohhhh, this is what Vance is for. For the next four years he’ll get to deliver the bad news when Trump doesn’t fulfill his promises. Then Trump does Vances job while Musk does Trump’s.

    He’ll get paid a ton of money to be the fall guy.

    You cannot physically betray maga, since they themselves are betrayal incarnate. The physics of it don’t work like that.

    When you do it to them it’s just funny.

    “If you protested peacefully on Jan. 6 and you’ve had [Attorney General] Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned,” the vice president-elect said. "If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.”

    That’s the thing about fascist movements…

    If you’re not 100% loyal, your “one of them” and an enemy. Doesn’t matter if 99.999% of the time you agree, that one disagreement is the same as not agreeing on anything.

    The mob isn’t loyal to anything or anyone. It could turn on trump very quickly

      Just wait until Trump gets replaced by Vance, for whatever reason. There will be such rage.

        It’s not exactly a good thing…

        Like, the direct comparison is organized crime. The mob wanted things to move smoothly, when you lock up the leaders the boots on the ground started doing their own thing. But they’re dumber and willing to risk more.

        It wouldn’t be a war between factions, it would be each group trying to prove itself as the new rightful leader, in this case likely by committing terrorist attacks.

        They’re all riled up, they’re not just going to turn around and go home.

        Eventually Trump will end, and then a power vacuum will need to be filled. Things are going to get worse before they get better. Gotta bounce off absolute rock bottom.

    Anderson even went as far as to remove the MAGA sticker from his vehicle.

    “Until all of the J6 defendants are saved I have to take this off my car. JD Vance has crushed the hopes and morale of hundreds of J6ers,” he said Sunday.

    I feel like the threshold for participating in treason should be higher than for having a sticker on one’s car.

    The magards are like a pack of stray dogs turning on each others. It’s quite pathetic.

    JD had better be careful: MAGA VP’s are particularly at risk of being strung-up.

    Anderson even went as far as to remove the MAGA sticker from his vehicle.

    The sacrifices one must make sometimes… Ripping a bumper sticker is like ripping one’s soul for a magard.

    You would think that after what happened with Pence the Orange Menace would choose better VPs. Idiots just don’t learn, do they?

    These people didn’t win on their own strength, they won because Dem party leadership doesn’t have what it takes. The current crop should have ousted and replaced after the embarrassment that was the Bush win and the Iraq War.
