Someone on Trump’s team decided to share excerpts of Trump’s speech tonight at CPAC with CNN (The Orange Ape is still throwing feces at Fox propaganda, so I guess CNN will do for leaks), and Trump promises the MAGA crowd: “I am your retribution.” And if you are wondering who will receive this retribution, there is a list. In case you were wondering, Democrats are definitely on that retribution list.
In his speech, Trump is expected to vow to purge the government of “entrenched political dynasties in both parties.”
“In 2016, I declared: I am your voice. Today, I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed: I am your retribution,” Trump plans to say. “I will totally obliterate the deep state. I will fire the unelected bureaucrats and shadow forces who have weaponized our justice system. And I will put the people back in charge of this country again.”
Trump’s remarks will conclude the slimmed-down CPAC gathering, as the 2024 presidential race begins to take shape and several high-profile Republicans prepare their bids to block Trump from winning the party’s nomination for a third consecutive cycle.
According to the excerpt, Trump will claim that the country, as he sees it, “will be lost forever” if he does not prevail in 2024.
“This is the final battle – they know it, I know it, you know it, everybody knows it. Either they win, or we win. And I promise you this: If you put me back in the White House, their reign will be over, and America will be a free nation once again,” Trump is expected say.
Emphasis is mine.
So America is no longer a “free nation.” The “loss of freedom” is the where haters cannot simply call anyone they despise a derogatory name without suffering some consequences. And you cannot beat them to a pulp either without maybe going to prison. Oh the agony!
But Trump hitting that grievance will ring true with his racist base of voters.
Totally obliterating the “deep state” is another grievance of the Jan 6th insurrectionists. Trump’s followers will love that because — once again — the federal justice system is picking on “patriots” by putting them in prison for their crimes. White people that is. Great people like Richard “Bigo” Barnett.
I’m surprised that Trump didn’t include “woke” in his speech, but he may have held that back from CNN.
But Trump is going to mention that touchstone of so called christian nationalists: “This is the final battle...” Nothing like the apocalypse to gather the faithful for the final push to save America from people like say Daily Kos readers. It will be a battle, and nothing says Armageddon like the “final battle.”
This is Trump’s greatest hits, but if the Orange Ape is able to fling all that shit with the hate and vengeance we know he lives for, it should give him a good leg up on winning the nomination again. Trump’s power is that he has convinced the worst people in our nation that he is THEIR WARRIOR (in the speech), and he knows the darkness in their hearts. It’s what motivated people who rarely voted to come out for him in 2016 and 2020.
And it does look like Trump is taking a shot at the Republican establishment again. Never mind he is the establishment. But the Trump faithful hate the likes of McConnell and others of his ilk. And I am betting that Fox will be on that shit list.
Good thing I will not be watching this shit.
