You mean the “army” that stormed the Capitol, was completely disorganized, was stopped by barricaded doors, got bored and walked off? Almost 800 of whom are charged with crimes? Or do you mean the Proud Boys, who are attacking that bastion of a democratic republic, Drag Queen Story Hour?In line with the strongman personality being booted out of office and having his coup fail only increased his desire to burn it all down as revenge. https://t.co/TtA3GESpfn

Talk about your soft targets.
Trump has an army of Deadheads following him around the country in diminishing numbers and following him on Newsmax, because absolutely no one else is paying attention. (And when Newsmax goes out of business, who will put Trump on TeeVee?)
His support shrinks with every J6 hearing. His army is a pack of children who are tough in the fights of their imagination, or in crowds against outnumbered Capitol police officers. But once that excitement is spent, they go back to being children.Trump likes to pretend that TV outlets still cover his rallies, when in fact the only major national one doing so these days is Newsmax pic.twitter.com/znKy07q41R
