Trump “protests” are now more impotence than they are protest.
No matter how hard he tries he just can’t get those numbers up.
Mr. Crowd Size himself seems to be suffering from more than a wee bit of shrinkage these days.
Maybe he was in the pool.
Before his first of three indictments came down in NYC, the melted circus peanut took to his Dollar Store Twitter and with his teeny weeny hamberder-grease slicked fun-sized fingers in his favorite ALL CAPS MEANS THAT I AM ALL POWERFUL AND THAT MY MINIONS WILL DROP EVERYTHING TO ABIDE BY MY VIOLENCE INCITING DEMANDS style, “truthed”:
"THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK! PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!"
And it was pretty clear that “Be there, will be wild” himself thought he still had the power to mobilize his rabid, far-right supporters the way he did before the Jan. 6th attack on our Capitol, but what was less clear at the time, was whether or not he actually could.
So NYC braced for whatever might be coming. And let’s be honest, having lived in NYC, I was pretty confident that no matter what the fucking crazies threw at the NYPD, that they’d be able to shut it down. And fast. Then again, I vastly underestimated January 6th until, January 6th, but I digress…
But where Captain Crowd Size was undoubtedly hoping for, if not entirely expecting, at least a few flashes of the sycophantic ‘burn it all down’ full-blown boner glory he had once known… what he got — was a boner-killer Marge Greene and a measly megaphone. And even with her stupid megaphone, Spork Foot’s special brand of stupid was overpowered by those there to protest Trump himself. Not his arrest.
As it turned out, trump had shot his rabid, foaming at the mouth, ready to take up arms in solidarity seditionist load that fateful day in January. More than a thousand of those supporters have since been arrested. And those arrests have been accompanied by jobs lost, huge legal bills, families breaking up and jail time.
And while they went through ALL of that FOR him. He didn’t do Jack shit for them. He could have preemptively pardoned them all.
He didn’t.
He could have paid their legal bills, after all, he’s a Fucking billionaire right?
He didn’t.
He didn’t do a thing for them. Nothing. Zilch. Nada.
And while a lot of them still fly his dumb flags and wear his dumb merch, and call him a “patriot” and say that he made “America great” even though they’ll never, ever be able to tell you why, if you were to ask them if they’d do it again…
You’d get a fairly universal chorus of beer can cracking “FUCK NO!”
And those are the ones who aren’t STILL in prison. They wouldn’t do it again, but it doesn’t matter — cuz they can’t.
And the thing about being indicted as many times as trump has now been indicted, is that while it was reported that he seemed “used to” being in front of a judge before entering a plea in a series of very heavy duty charges… the cult, well, they’re used to it too.
