Donald Trump's Far-Right Extremist Army Has Turned On Himhttps://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/donald-trumps-far-right-extremist-army-has-turned-on-him_uk_6002de58c5b6df63a917078a
For months, president Donald Trumps message to his supporters was clear:The election was being stolen from him, and they needed to fight to take it back.
So on January 6, during a Trump-promoted rally to Stop the Steal, thousands laid siege to the US Capitol in a stunning attempt to do just that. The fallout of their failed insurrection, which resulted in five deaths, was swift: Trump was de-platformed from nearly every major social network and, on Wednesday, impeached for a historic second time.
When he emerged on camera a short while later, tail tucked between his legs, to condemn the rioters whom he himself had incited, and to call for a peaceful transfer of power to president-elect Joe Biden, his base felt betrayed.
So he basically just sold out the patriots who got rounded up for him, one person wrote in a 15,000-member pro-Trump Telegram group. Just wow.
In online havens for MAGA extremists, including Gab, CloutHub, MeWe, Telegram and far-right message boards such as 8kun, the tone toward Trump is shifting. HuffPost reviewed thousands of messages across these platforms and found that a growing minority of the presidents once-devout backers are now denouncing him and rejecting his recent pleas for peace. Some have called for his arrest or execution, labelling him a traitor and a coward. Alarmingly, many of those who are irate about Bidens supposed electoral theft are still plotting to forcibly prevent him from taking office with or without Trumps help.

(25,471 posts)I guarantee that not all of these buffoons believe the idiotic conspiracy theories that Trump has promoted, but those theories and "stolen election" are handy excuses to cause mayhem.

It'll get worse too as the cap "L" on his forehead becomes even more pronounced and his greatly diminished media presence/power dwindling down even more and his negatives increasing proportionately with an impending impeachment trial, mega legal troubles and humongous and pressing debt obligations. Wouldn't wanna be him.
In other words, his fat ass is not just toast, but burnt, loser, coward toast.
