Every last one of these MAGAts need to be tried as traitors.

If, and it's a big "if," the Democrats regain power, you can be sure their response will be wringing their hands.

Blue MAGA is what people say who non-voted Trump into power to feel better about themselves.

But what is Green MAGA? Genuinely asking.

Huh. I heard that the term "Blue maga" meant "I'm a clueless fucking moron". Interesting.

What's Green MAGA?

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 241d

It's fake dickheads who refused to vote or voted for anyone but democrats in a pathetic attempt to claim fake moral superiority.

I'm so sick of him being called "Defence Secretary". He wanted it to be called the Department of War, and he has attacked a sovereign nation and kidnapped their head of state.

Call him what he is; a warmonger and a savage.

I wonder if it's possible for anyone in this administration not to act like a smug asshole.

Sure they can but I'd need 10 hours and a deep dark mineshaft.

@MicroWave Don't these friggin idiots know that what they did was not legal and that someday they may have to account for it?

Ha ha. You're funny.

Wake me up when they face accountability for break laws. Until then, laws don't matter to the regime.
