DFT at CPAC: "It's like - How many elections do we have to have?"

We also inherited a failed health care law that threatens our medical system with absolute and total catastrophe. Now, I've been watching and nobody says it, but Obamacare doesn't work, folks. I could say, I could talk. And now people are starting to develop a little

— but the people that you're watching, they're not you. They're largely, many of them are the side that lost. They lost the election. It's like, how many elections do we have to have? They lost the election.

My stomach literally rolled at hearing this line.

Not the first time he's offhandedly expressed the idea of not having elections

“And just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right? What are we even having it for? What are we having it for?” he asked.

or the idea that he might not want to leave the White House.

TRUMP: Who would want to leave the White House? Right? You're in there -- no, seriously. Who would want to leave the White House?

Here's the thing. If he keeps up this level of fanaticism, his people will support it. Violently, I believe.

These people are not okay.

I keep saying he is a dictator and I do not use that term just because I do not like him and like to give him a bad name.

At first I thought - nobody's that dumb. Parody. But the account RTs a lot of standard Deplorable Twitter fare like this:




Then I thought - Russian troll.



Now I don't know, but it's amusing AF.
