MAGA stars are soft pussys. They will do nothing.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

They had same rhetoric from the last 2 attempts on Trump. Total yawnfest.

The stars are not who we are to be concerned about. It's the people they influence. The people like the Kirk shooter, the Gabbard shooter, the Trump shooter, etc.

These MAGA Stars are fully aware of the type of people they influence.

And do what? Stage another coup attempt?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 28 points 3 days ago

Oh no, I hope they don't implement a whole bunch of gun control regulations!

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 25 points 3 days ago

I hope they all get the same treatment. Learn to live in fear and shut the fuck up.

Exact retribution on what?

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Things that make them feel sad. Like black people.

They don't have any thoughts, just fee fees.

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

It's funny that the right saying and doing things isn't terrorism. Well, not funny at all really.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 3 points 3 days ago

Come and get it! I'm as armed as anyone and not afraid to defend myself from fascists.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Of course they are. It's a wonderful distraction from the epstein files
