The MAGAs remind me of a doomsday-cult.

When Trump tweets, there are two sorts of responses:

Those against Trump:
- Some people mock him that he will go to jail.
- Some attack and insult him for the things he has done.

Those in support of Trump:
- Some people attack the Democrats.
- Some people keep asking the question how it is possible that Clinton et al. got away with all of this and when Trump will finally have all of them arrested.



That last group is particularly interesting.

How did Hillary Clinton get away with all of her crimes?
That's a very good question! The Republicans have been investigating her for years, the Republicans have had 2 years of full control over Congress and DOJ, and yet somehow Hillary Clinton got away without so much as a scratch...

When will Trump finally arrest all the Democrats for their crimes?
That's related to a QAnon-meme that Mueller is secretly working for Trump to take down the Democrats.
That's also a very good question. Why does Trump keep playing this charade? What is he waiting for? Why is nobody investigating the Democrats for their collusion with Russia? Oh, but they will. Any day now... Any day now... Any day now...

THE END IS NIGH!

THE END IS NIGH!

THE END IS NIGH!

ANY DAY NOW TRUMP WILL REVEAL HIS FULL POWER!

HE WILL THROW THE DEMOCRATS INTO JAIL AND ALL WILL BE WELL!

BELIEVERS, REJOICE, FOR THE END IS NIGH!









And you know what's the saddest part?

When this is all over, when Trump is gone, some will wake up and walk away, but some will still keep asking the same questions.

The doomsday came and went and nothing happened. And they will keep waiting.

Because they are too invested into this and there is nothing else left in their lives but this obsession.

“Lori” and “CC”. Jacob Wohl was another one before he was banned. The best president ever responses make me ROFL.
