It's Who They Are, Part Infinity




When they show you who they are, believe them:
A video depicting a macabre scene of a fake President Trump shooting, stabbing and brutally assaulting members of the news media and his political opponents was shown at a conference for his supporters at his Miami resort last week, according to footage obtained by The New York Times.
Several of Mr. Trump’s top surrogates — including his son Donald Trump Jr., his former spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis — were scheduled to speak at the three-day conference, which was held by a pro-Trump group, American Priority, at Trump National Doral Miami. Ms. Sanders and a person close to Mr. Trump’s son said on Sunday that they did not see the video at the conference.
The video, which includes the logo for Mr. Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, comprises a series of internet memes. The most violent clip shows Mr. Trump’s head superimposed on the body of a man opening fire inside the “Church of Fake News” on parishioners who have the faces of his critics or the logos of media organizations superimposed on their bodies. It appears to be an edited scene of a church massacre from the 2014 dark comedy film “Kingsman: The Secret Service.”  (our emphasis)
The economic anxiety there is really strong, amirite?

Trump's Red Hats are a violence- fantasizing, gun- humping cult who follow their Chosen One because he hates the same people they do.  The hard core cultists are a borderline domestic terrorist group who apparently think a wish- fulfillment fantasy about their Chosen One conducting a mass murder of media figures and his political opponents is amusing.  If there's such a thing as karma, may it be visited on all of them.
