    He’s still working on releasing his taxes, you see, they are under audit! So they’re super secretly sealed right now.

    Should be a couple more weeks

    All true, but we shouldn’t forget that the regime also offers its henchmen certain perks to buy their loyalty: ICE, for example, provides such “benefits” - thousands upon thousands of MAGA morons with absolutely no qualifications have been hired for a salary they could only dream of.

    So, for the people the regime needs, it certainly provides advantages. Or to put it another way: Many of those who still support the regime don’t do so because they’re so gullible, but because they personally benefit from it. In that sense, they’re not just right-wing extremists, but also opportunists - and that makes them all the more dangerous.

      certain perks to buy their loyalty

      Including pardons for any and all crimes, especially human trafficking, murder and grand theft - for a price, of course.

        Exactly. That’s precisely why this corrupt regime attracts the most unscrupulous people. There’s simply no other way to describe it than as organized crime, because that’s exactly what it is. It has absolutely nothing to do with a democratic government - not even by U.S. standards.

      Yeah, he wasn’t really trolled about anything, there was a limitless trove of material dems could have used yet inexplicably didn’t. Yes, don’t want to “go negative” on a fascist incompetent clown, best to be all bipartisan-y and campaign with fascists instead, be as safe as possible.

        2024 was an unbelievable shit show, the democratic party is broken and until the establishment is purged they will continue to fail America.

    Add “world peace” and “no new wars” in there too
