Mind blowing cognitive dissonance

I saw a pickup truck with big ad panels. On one side it said "defend the flag. Protect the Constitution." On the other side it said trump 2024.
Can they really be that clueless?

Besides, none of the bad things will happen to them. It's the 'other' folks who need to be worried.

Among the more reprehensible aspects of the Trump Cult is its wrongheaded notion that they have a monopoly on patriotism.

They don’t.

You know, the America where you can break down a person's door, drag them into the street and beat them because they displayed a lawn sign different from yours. The same America where uttering a view different from a former president is equated with treason.

That's their America.

He may have had to trace out Constitution letter by letter - it's usually bigger than most MAGA brains can comprehend.

My cousin’s GOP son in law, who has been a city prosecutor for the last 10 years, is now running for county DA saying he’s the law and order candidate who will protect and defend the constitution. Like WTF! At the end of the debate he had with his Democratic challenger, he gave a full throated endorsement of the felon. I think he knows he’s going to lose in this blue county because his recent campaign ads sound desperate; he’s claiming he will go after food gouging…since when has that been a priority for District Attorneys Hope he goes down in flames tonight.

We used the constitution (twice) to try and impeach him and his party neglected their duty.

We used the DOJ and the courts to convict him and the SC intervened directly on his behalf to stall his trials

What else do you want to do

They pulled a fake sham impeachment attempt on Biden is a total miss-use of power of the constitution.

Gimme a break already
