Proving yet again that all of their flag waving, scripture spouting, and endless rallies are nothing more than a cult, a panel of MAGA/Trump voters made it clear Sunday on “Face the Nation,” that they don’t give two hoots in hell about democracy or freedom. Instead, they just want their tangerine savior back in office, even if he wants to be the American Mussolini.
CBS News correspondent Major Garrett spoke with a panel of Trump voters and asked them about remarks made this week by President Joe Biden that the MAGA movement is “semi-fascist.”
A voter from Virginia named Mary remarked:
“Isn’t democracy arguing, debating? So if the precedent has been set that you can question elections — I mean, you can question everything in a democracy.”
She added:
“It’s getting — somebody like me who’s not a Republican or Democrat but I do support Trump — it’s getting really old hearing ‘democracy, democracy, democracy.’ Because what we’re doing is part of a democracy.”
Mary’s rant continued, and the more she spoke the more it became painfully obvious that the Trump faithful view the idea of democracy very differently than the rest of us:
“And the way Joe Biden is dividing and the Democrats use it as a weapon, the term democracy has become a weapon, and it just means that if you’re afraid that Republicans are a threat to democracy, what you’re telling me is you’re afraid Republicans are a threat to your power and your agenda. And so I think we need to go back and have a better understanding of what democracy actually is.”
Another member of the panel dismissed Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) prediction that there will be “rioting in the streets” if Trump is indicted for hoarding and mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Largo resort, explaining:
“If there was going to be any rioting in the streets it would be when the last election was stolen.”
