'Destroy Trump': Breitbart Staffers Seethe After Capitol Riot

“I am just not feeling charitable AT ALL,” international news editor Frances Martel posted to Slack the morning after the rioting that left five people dead, including a police officer. “Destroy Trump.”

Martel lamented that Trump’s support for the MAGA mob had undone a decade’s worth of conservative politics, leaving the Republican Party “in shambles” and dimming the right-wing movement’s prospects.

“He set us back like 10 years,” Martel wrote. “We have worked so hard to promote our values, values that made him president when he hawked them, and now he does this, leaving everything in shambles? Nah, destroy him. Let it be a lesson to every other ‘populist.’”

(Snip)

But Mansour forcefully disagreed. “I think you need to accept the context of this. This was storming the Capitol building on the day when we were certifying an election. And a woman was killed. This is banana republic shit. This was much worse than burning down strip malls.”

He shook the world. Yeah, a tyrant. But on a continent that knew nothing but autocrats. He at least did his best to improve the life of the average Frenchman at the expense of the rich. His policies still are in sway in many areas. The French poor loved him.

And he was a military genius.

Trump could not carry his chamber pot.

I mean this in all seriousness. Go to places like FR and TDW and you'll see that they're like orcs clamoring to become the next Goblin King, backstabbing those they presume to not be dedicated 110% to the "cause." They not only hate us, they hate each other, too.

With regard to Trump's mixed messages, it's like the orcs lack the focus they need because their master lost the One Ring (Twitter). This lack of unity will contribute to their undoing.
