Question - will the MAGATs be like a swarm of pesty mosquitoes

that eventually lose interest and dissipate (especially if they are ignored - HELLO, media???)

or like a swarm of killer bees, persistent and dangerous and with intent to harm for a long time?

What happens after Jan 20 will be very interesting to observe. Again - MEDIA - let them go and lick their wounds....you will have a new president and vice president and cabinet to focus on - and a continuing pandemic - and climate change - etc etc. Please let your fascination with the orange one and his cults evaporate into thin air!

Those who are infected and aren't taken quickly will face the possibility of debilitating, life long health issues.

I'm afraid he's going to keep them engaged in his lunacy. They won't be able to see his campaign for what it is: a money maker for himself.

Republicans can’t afford to lose their support in later elections. If you mean the worst of the bunch, then perhaps they’ll fade away - but if you include every “America first” anti-globalist out there... they’ll be far more than pesky.

In every Republican lawmaker's backyard. I just hope that the media doesn't legitimize their "concerns" with the Democratic Administration like they breathlessly did with the racist, astroturfed "Tea Party".

What would have become of the thousands upon thousands of SA (stormtroopers) and Nazi supporters if Hitler had been abruptly removed as Chancellor in 1934 by Paul von Hindenburg at that very last hour when he and Franz von Papen finally began to have grave doubts about him?

and hey haven't tired of his show yet. I'm hopeful the truly faithful will follow him to gallows of Hell but most closer to normal folks will slowly drift away and back to only semi-awful Fox BS.
