Summary

Donald Trump allies, including Tucker Carlson and Laura Loomer, are accusing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of orchestrating a “coup” against Trump’s agenda by scheduling early Senate GOP leadership elections.

Carlson, on social media, urged his followers to support Florida Senator Rick Scott as the only candidate aligned with Trump, warning that other candidates oppose Trump’s policies.

Loomer criticized Republicans for not addressing McConnell’s move sooner, suggesting that calls for party “unity” have enabled this alleged attempt to undermine Trump’s incoming administration.

    Huh.

    I’ve been sort of idly wondering who was going to be the first “enemy” politician the Trump regime was going to kill.

    I’d say McConnell just became the odds-on favorite.

      Extremists in politics are like people with an automatic machine gun and they’re always uncontrollably firing at perceived enemies … once they bring someone down … they keep firing, turn around and start shooting at someone else … and on and on and on … they always see enemies … once they eliminate someone, they move on to the next until eventually they start shooting at you.

        I don’t know exactly why, but the way you stated that reminds me of how Saddam Hussein gained power.

          Because authoritarians and fascists always need an enemy … once they subdue that enemy, the need another … they can only exist and have power over people as long as there is enemy of some kind. If they can’t it elsewhere, they start looking at the people next to them.
