Once the center of conservative gravity, CPAC can't get a single Trump family member to show up.

Donald Trump is cutting the throat of MAGA.

It was inevitable. He thinks that it is a movement of stupid losers.

Welcome to the American melting pot. We have all kinds here. We even have Confederates who like to carry their flags and smear their nasty hateful crap in the halls our nations capitol.

I imagine the "weirdo liberal boomers" are the most frightening to you.

"My gas and groceries are up 40%, my health insurance is up 50%, and the president is covering up an elite pedophilia ring. But at least there won't be trans athletes competing in a 2028 Olympic sport that I won't be watching."

'I Think That MAGA Is Dying'

That was the point of assassinating Charlie.

Welcome to the American melting pot.

You don't really believe this do you? All across the US neighborhoods/towns are siloed races. I think they call it balkanized.
Go to mall near SFO airport, all us Asians. Santana Row, Indians, mall in San Leandro African Americans.
Cupertino Asians, Sunnyvale, Indians. Los Altos, Los Gatos, White people. East San Jose Hispanics.

There's no melting....

Melting pot, what a fantasy you've been sold.

Fascists historically go apoplectic on the concept of melting pot.

Just saying.

"the post-Trump era."

Trump isn't sending enough people to camps to make CPAC happy.

There is no "MAGA." There are only Chairman Trump and his cult followers.

Donald Trump is a fascist.

He has done nothing but prove that.

Just wait until November 3rd.

He will prove that three times as hard.

STFU you f*&^ing idiot.

Shouldn't you be getting ready to sign back up and go fight a war you support?

Melting pot doesn't literally mean every one of every race or ethnicity lives completely intermixed at complete or near complete homogeneity you stupid pile of s*&^.

That's never been true and never will be.

Melting pot is about cultural intermixing and the change over generations as migrants arrive and raise families over successive generations.

Just STFU you f*&^ing idiot. You can't even spread good bad information.

MAGA was nothing but a lie from the single biggest liar on the planet.

"I will lower prices"
"I will pay down the debt"
"I will fix the roads"
"I will end the war in Gaza, Ukraine"
"I will be tough on Putin"
"I am the peace president"
"I will end inflation"
"I will release the trumpstein files"
"I will drain the swamp"

Blah blah blah.

Donald Trump is cutting the throat of MAGA.

Of course he is. It was stupid movement made up of bumper sticker mentality and was the exact opposite of what he naturally is....a corrupt billionaire who will steal as much as possible to make himself richer.

It is sad how quickly the youth of our nation fell for his -------- despite decades of evidence to the contrary.

Donny Doll Hands has always been him first and everyone else can eat ----.

"No new wars" was his greatest lie as he strangles the global economy with soaring gas prices after starting a war he can't end.

Russia was stupid enough to get itself into a war in Ukraine and is getting it's ass kicked.

My guess is Putin told Donnie to invade Iran last year during their "summit" that it would be easy picking knowing they were going to send drones and intel to Iran to make Donny look stupider than he does.

There could no more perfect patsy for Vlad to control than child with an oversized ego with a predisposition to rape under age girls. Donny's parents through their neglect raised the easiest mark on the planet.
