While Trump seems to have a lock on the Republican party establishment, we should not assume that his support among the Republican base is also rock solid. There are of course die-hard people who will never desert him, as there are in any cult, but others will peel away with time as they slowly come to realize that he is a paper tiger who talks big but cannot deliver.
The case of one Proud Boys leader illustrates this phenomenon.
Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean lashed out at President Donald Trump, accusing him of misleading his supporters and then deserting them despite their unwavering loyalty.
“We are now and always have been on our own. So glad he was able to pardon a bunch of degenerates as his last move and s— on us on the way out,” Nordean said in an expletive-laden message about the former president. “F— you trump you left us on [t]he battle field bloody and alone.”
…“I’ve followed this guy for 4 years and given everything and lost it all. Yes he woke us up, but he led us to believe some great justice was upon us…and it never happened,” Nordean wrote on Jan. 20, after Proud Boys members were charged, “now I’ve got some of my good friends and myself facing jail time cuz we followed this guys lead and never questioned it.”
Expect to see more such cases.
Suck it, dumbasses. You got what you deserved.
I’ve been waiting for one to finally do this.
Honestly, anybody who ever expected Trump to reciprocate loyalty hadn’t been paying attention.
Nordean’s probably an FBI asset.
Mr Singham, you are correct!!!
President Trump in 2020 gained on the Black votes (mainly Black Men), gained on Hispanic votes (mainly in counties bordering Mexico), gained on Asian votes.
President Trump in 2020 LOST ground with Whites, LOST ground with White Supremacists.
Richard Spencer, an unapologetic neo-Nazi, tweeted:
‘I plan to vote for Biden and a straight democratic ticket. It’s not based on “accelerationism” or anything like that; the liberals are clearly more competent people.’
Richard Spencer voted for Trump in 2016 and for Biden in 2020. Why? Answer: President Trump’s agenda did NOT promote racial division.
Antifa, BLM, KKK have a common goal: a nation divided up by racism.
Antifa, BLM, KKK have voted for the candidate who can deliver on racial division: Basement Joe.
re jenorafeuer @3: EXACTLY! Loyalty for The Orange Toddler-Tyrant is a one-way street.
Mano: cleanup on aisle 5 please!
I’m reminded of a song that I was hearing on the radio when I was a kid. The most relevant line goes:
hehe. Friedfish talks all day, but will never respond to a criticism. Boring moron.
Which groups are pro racial integration policies, historically and today, including such tactics as school bussing? Which groups are against those policies, historically and today? Don’t rush. I’ll wait.
How long before one of these guys, who reflexively think of guns as solutions, and as vindictive as Trump himself, takes Trump’s betrayal personally and decides to get even. Ganked by one of his own followers at a rally is pretty much as center-ring as any exit Trump could hope for.

This is what is known as “disinformation”. Not technically false, but highly misleading without context.
P.S. Since I see you’re a fan of titles, it’s Dr Singham.
“But I didn’t think the leopard would eat MY face,” said the member of the leopard-eating-people’s-faces party. This was NOT a slur against leopards -- everybody has to eat….
“I’ve followed this guy for 4 years and given everything … we followed this guys lead and never questioned it.”
Pretty hard to feel sorry for the writer. Don’t expect him and his ilk to do a Darth Vader-esque flip to the light side. They’ll find some other execrable POS to worship and obey.
So did Biden (over Clinton). Because voting overall increased over the 2016 election.

Nested set of *citation needed* and concretely connect your assertions. Otherwise that’s certainly a collection of words.
#14. THAT is the worry. What saved us (I guess, for varying definitions of “saved”) is Trump was so…ridiculous. A fat, old, craven. poorly spoken, and criminal grifter. What if a fascist who is slick, self-controlled, conventionally handsome, conventionally successful comes along? Look for the Long Night of the American Soul to begin in earnest.
