A couple of Republican politicians in Texas actually showed up to Donald Trump’s cult convention in Waco, Texas today. No sign of Pete Sessions, and this is his congressional district. He wants no part of it.
And we don’t see Greg Abbott in attendance. Maybe he’ll show up later and put in a cameo appearance.
Likewise no John Cornyn or Ted Cruz. I frankly find that surprising from Cruz. I thought he would be here to bend the knee. But hey, there is one high roller and that is Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
I don’t think Americans should fear our own military. https://t.co/IhvAns3JJc

And here’s another Texas government official. This is Texas Agriculture Commission Sid Miller and he sounds like he’s perfectly ready to escalate Culture War into Civil War. In fact, he sounds aching to do so.
BREAKING: Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, just uttered words that you would expect hear at a civil war declaration, not a damn political rally.
The rhetoric at the Waco Trump rally is already turning quite dangerous and Trump hasn't even spoken yet.

If you hear an echo, that’s because this is what Ulysses S. Grant said. “Whatever may have been my political opinions before, I have one sentiment now: that is, we have a government and laws and a flag and they must all be sustained. There are but two parties now, traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter.”
This is an interesting conundrum. We’re in agreement that there are only two parties and what those parties are called. The conflict is: Which party contains what population? Who is who?
And here’s a QAnon fruit fly who reads a militant poem. She’s ready to fight, Captain America suit and all.

I grew up in Waco. It’s the birthplace of patriots, Ann Richards and Leon Jaworski. It makes me ill that Trump is using my hometown to exploit extremism and promote his cult. #TrumpRally

Both of them are spinning in their graves, no question in my mind.
This is from a parody account.
I had a feeling I'd run into JFK Jr at this Trump rally in Waco Texas. Sure enough, there he is. pic.twitter.com/I9P00rOjGP

Seeing how Waco lost their last violent, deranged, delusional, dumbass, conspiracy-fueled, anti-American, anti-law enforcement, anti-science, anti-progress, talibangelical death cult, Donald Trump thought it would be a good idea to bring his to town.

Guy at Trump rally says he has won multiple bets with his friend Tommy, who keeps making predictions that Trump is about to be reinstated. Tommy is asked about it, and he still thinks it could happen any day now. pic.twitter.com/aSJJ0LVOk5

Woman at Trump rally says she is a ‘South African MAGA Preacher.’ She says God sent Trump to her in a dream and told her to come to America to help him because Heaven is backing him and he is a modern-day Cyrus sent by God to save the world. pic.twitter.com/ChrkypKsmW

You’ve got the flavor of this event. Trump just flew overhead in Trump Force One, while the theme from Top Gun played on the ground. Soon he takes stage. It should be lit.
Well, it IS patriots vs traitors, but he’s not on the side he thinks he is. tRump needs to be locked away for everyone’s safety, not out there burning down the country and stoking insurrections. Lock him up, at Guantanamo, preferably. Or deep six him ala bin Laden.
You and I’m sure others will be pissed at me for saying this, but where’s a giant tornado when you need one?
The flying monkeys are on strike.
I wonder if any of these clowns have ever had a real gun in their face, or been in any kind of environment that bristled with violence? I know the answer. Playing tough doesn’t make you tough. Trump plays tough and they join in playing tough. Playing solider from your winnebago doesn’t mean you’re willing to fight and possibly die for what you think you believe. Fact.
I say we give the fat fucks what they want. Let the revolution begin!
Real patriots don’t have to convince you of that. Only bigots preface their words with, “I’m not a racist…” I believe people’s actions, not their words.
