I wonder what percentage of actual Trump supporters would unironically propagate that. Probably a solid 4% or so.

"punches me right in the Poe's Law"

I've been watching some livestreams from Bragg's Manhattan courthouse. There's probably about as much media as supporters, maybe a couple hundred of each. They're probably already locked into some stupid feedback loop wherein random losers show up to get mic time and then more media show up to cover the growing crowd.

Jim Jordan & co. are wading into some dangerous territory today. And Kevin McCarthy made sure to assure people in a presser that Trump doesn't really want them to protest, physically, Trump probably just means, like, complain about things on twitter. Dude luckily we already solved inflation, all of the banking crises, and passed a bitchingly awesome budget so we can focus on the important stuff
