The most cowardly creature on the planet is an American politician - every last one of them. They are feral animals, and the only thing they understand is fear, which is why they attempt to use it on us so often. They think we are just as cowardly as they are.
So put the pressure on them, and they will back down every single time, and if they don't, then pressure them harder, and then you vote them out, and if they don't leave, you CRUSH them mercilessly.
These people work for US, and that is not rhetoric, it is literally the truth. They need to know that we expect them to do what they are told, because if we are forced to do their jobs for them, it will be very, very bad for them.
The biggest losers are Schmuck Schumer and Jeffries, who are at least 50% responsible for Trump regaining office. They sat back and let the MAGAs steal the election right before their eyes, and then immediately declared it "Fair & Square," with no investigation at all.
Sure, the guy has cheated at literally EVERYTHING he has ever done for his entire life, but the ONLY time in his life that he didn't cheat was the one election that would literally keep him out of prison for the rest of his life? How does that make any sense at all. We KNOW this guy extremely well, and we are supposed to believe that he did any honorably and in good faith. The Dem leadership may be that stupid, or weak, or scared, but I'm not.
If they were doing their most basic jobs of defending America from its enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, they could have had Trump and his henchman arrested the moment that Biden was sworn in, but they let those jackals run free, and steal the next election.
IF we regain our country, we obviously have to crush, purge, and imprison MAGA Nazis for their crimes, but we should also ruthlessly purge these simpering weak ass Democrats who didn't do their jobs, and ran away from those mean old scary MAGA twerps when we needed them most.
