Rolling Stone spoke with diehard Trump supporters who waited hours in the snow to watch the former president stump in New Hampshire
Fresh off a historic victory in the Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump traveled to New Hampshire and complained to his supporters that he had to leave the White House after losing the 2020 election.
Fans had lined up for hours outside in the snow for a chance to see the presumptive Republican nominee in person — excited over his Iowa win, appearing confident he will once again be president.
During his speech, Trump said it “was ridiculous that we had to leave, but we had to leave, we have to follow the laws of our land.” He quickly doubled down on his 2020 election lies: “They don’t investigate the people that cheated in the election. They investigate the people that understand they cheated and go after them. But they don’t investigate the people who cheated like hell. We have to have fair and free elections.”
Of course, Trump is being prosecuted for attempting to rig the 2020 election and overturn the results in key swing states — and as Rolling Stone has reported, he and his allies are working diligently to predetermine the results of the 2024 election and make sure they favor Trump.
They can’t say “I like abusing women and minorities and wish it was a more acceptable hobby so I’m voting Trump” – the Unite the Right rally showed them that plausible deniability builds platforms and going mask off takes them away.
But they can say clearly bullshit things like this and everyone does them the favor of pretending they actually mean it.
If someone doesn’t politely play along, they’ve been coached at how to manipulate their way out of it with by saying things like “the left just calls everyone they don’t like a Nazi”.
No, no, Trump really is a family man…in exactly the same way as Tony Soprano. He is all about HIS family, but definitely not yours!
He doesn’t even clear that low bar. He cheats on his wives and palms his children off on others people.
