Twitler is awake and tweeting, trying to rally his supporters for "biggest" rally




Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally. It would be the biggest of them all!



That was posted about 20 minutes ago. I've been watching for a followup post, haven't seen one yet.

My guess is this is related to the Breitbart-promoted fake "grass roots" rallies on 2/27 and 3/4 that are supposedly being organized by the Tea Party. I say "supposedly" because the press release from the organizers was published on Breitbart well before anyone else heard about it.

Which suggests this is Bannon's idea.

And my best guess is that Twitler is now beginning to tweet about a rally because Bannon and his fellow trolls are hearing that there might not be all that impressive a turnout. So they've given up on trying to create the appearance of this spontaneous show of support for Trump, and Bannon has asked Trump to be his own cheerleader.

Trump's not doing a lick of actual work or setting any agenda items. But "President" Steve Bannon-- filthy, gin blossoms adorning his nose and forehead, jowly, scruffy-- HE is the one who's coming up with all these "American Hellscapes" for Trump to spit out. And now Bannon actually wants a war on reality, as one of the most detested members of American society, he grinds out fear and xenophobia, plenty for all.

He will say "don't believe the fake news, 10s of millions marched for me across the country but the dishonest press refused to report on it"

Unfortunately for all of us, at this point, it feels as if it already devolved into that period when Stalin or Mussolini were becoming desperately paranoid and their inner circles and close followers were constantly having to feed their egos and lived in total fear of their next actions or words.

The so-called grass roots crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by fascist activists. Sad!

Next, Russians will land in Virginia while Trumpy is sitting on one of his golden thrones tweeting about the bad press he's getting.

How long until you start being bombarded with clips on FOX News showing people crying when they see Trump? Like when you see the uncomfortable fake tears of North Koreans when they see Kim Jong Un or Kim Jong Il.

And how long until people start ratting each other out to the authorities for reading the wrong books or associating with liberal thinkers? Or people whispering to each other in their apartments for fear that the neighbours will hear their free thoughts? This is sounding a lot like Mao.

I'm sure labour camps are just around the corner.

Ignoring, to avoid signal boosting his dysfunction and demented agenda, while working like mad in determined private circles, to topple him, is the only solution, imo.

He can piss in the wind to his blackened heart's content. That ammoniacal blowback hitting him in the face, eventually, will send him an unmistakable message.

Focus and attention are our most vital tools. Whatever we focus on we strengthen. I refuse to waste my attention on something so detrimental to my ideals. He can roil in his manufactured cesspool until he chokes. I have better plans and I am not alone.

Thanks for the post highplainsdem. All the best to you. ♡
