I never cease to be amazed at his ability to make shit up.

I'm amazed at his ability to make shit up but also horrified that so many people still respond positively to him, no matter his inanities and lies and blustering. I despair that his approval rating is higher than 1%.

Some of them have said flat out: "He's our murder weapon."

Last night I read an article giving a detailed background into the Boogaloo movement.  I remember when I worked for the police dept in the '90s and we had the militia movement.  Seems like we always have to have some group of idiots who have to dress up and run around with rifles, just itching to kill someone.  And now we have someone on Pennsylvania Ave. who sanctions it.  I remember when He said something in one of his regular tweet rampages and a message was seen in one of the Boogaloo FB groups that said 'Boiz, did he just say it was time to boogaloo?!'

He has a number of people who voted for him in the first place, the question is whether they are in key constituencies and whether people opposing him will come out in this places.  That was one of the biggest problem in the last election: too few people coming out to vote and him getting elected by a minority of the country.
