Donald Trump and the Republican MAGA cult immersed in a cesspool of political lies

Now we bear witness to the consequences- a legacy of lies

Donald Trump Nazi salute!

Vice President Kamala Harris did not whine and lie to the American people that she really won the 2025 presidential election.

And because it was a free democratic election, the American people will get the government they deserve.

For those citizens who feel disappointed that a majority of voters chose as their leader a demagogue who believes the rule of law does not apply to him, your duty now is to bear witness to the consequences.

And remember. For history’s sake.

And stop thinking about King Trump. Entertainment is his game. He’s the best at keeping everyone distracted while he performs his con. He knows what he’s doing.

Also, don’t waste your time trying to convince your friends and relatives who have slid down the rabbit hole of self-delusion. This election proved Mark Twain was right when he observed, “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”

Stay awake as the herd nods off and avoids evidence of an insurrection that happened before their very eyes. Observe the idiot wind that blows constantly from the mouths of all those Trump-pets pretending that traitors are patriots. Don’t fall for the false equivalencies, like convincing you that their retribution is the same as real justice.
