Military sent to Gaza
Additional protections to police
The pardon of all January 6th rioters
The relaxation of maximum presidential terms
Repeal of Affordable Care Act

Yes, some of these are fearmongering but he's made all sorts of promises and debts are due! The sky is the limit!

If you think any or all of these is going to finally get a Trump supporter to lose faith, then you failed to learn the lesson that 2016 should've taught you, and yesterday should've reminded you of - they will never lose faith. He could tell them to literally kill their own kids and they'd just say "Oh, like what God told Abraham! I'll get right on it, my Lord!"

Doesn't matter if they lose faith or not.

As each of these things comes to pass, as I ride this flaming dirigible into the hard earth rushing up at us, at the very least I'm going to spend that time telling the magas in my life that this is their fucking fault at every available opportunity.

That's the kind of spite-filled journey I can absolutely get behind
