I'm Hoping That This Documentary That The J6 Has In Their Possession Will....

have clips of TFG saying something really damaging about his followers so that his whole MAGA cult will see him for what he really is.

I believe that this is the only way that he'd lose his followers. That is - if they hear him say something from his own mouth to their ears.

…he was some actor/singer who became a populist figure. As I recall, his downfall in the eyes of his followers was an open mic rant about his weak his followers really were.

Add that to Mark burnett’s decision to withhold outtakes from the Apprentice (you know he know what’s on those tapes)…

It gives me hope that the outtakes here are gonna be brutal.

2. I wonder if it would matter to many of them.

When he called combat veterans "losers and suckers", it didn't faze many of his cult members. Not even those who are veterans themselves.

I'm not sure many of them would be reached even if the documentary included footage of Trump shooting someone on 5th Avenue.

I think a few of the cultists can be peeled of and brought back to reality, but not many of them.

10. Many elections are won "at the edge". Every defector from the "Party of Nothing" is a win.

Donate money, time, write postcards, make calls like your life depends on it, because it does, and so do millions of others.

Spread the bad word.

The "Election Integrity" grift is pure felony theft.

These, and the fake elector plan might peel some people loose from the "Party of Nothing"
Some Republicans felt ‘duped’ by Team Trump’s fake electors plot
And they may pay a price for their complicity. (Oh, Merrick!)

“We were kind of useful idiots or rubes at that point,” said Robert Sinners, a former Trump campaign staffer, adding he now feels he was misled about the effort. “I’m angry because I think, in a sense, no one really cared if people were potentially putting themselves in jeopardy.”

12. But they didn't hear him say that.

Only someone who says he did. Easy for them to deny he said it.

Some of these magats are so invested in him, they would deny it if he said it to them in person. They will say he didn't really mean it, they must have heard him wrong, he's being taken out of context, etc.

many of them are christians and they just forgive him, of course if they were really christians they would see him as the evil man he really is.


The same people who served would vote for him, when he clearly bought his way out of service are too far gone. Those same people voted for W and he did nearly the same thing.

The cool aid has been drunk and those people no longer see the matrix ...
