Some Trump cult members are talking about civil war

Major far-right figures and some Republican candidates for office have responded to the FBI's court-approved search of Mar-a-Lago by evoking civil war. https://t.co/559XI0EpCO

New + exclusive from me:

After Mar-a-Lago search, users on pro-Trump forums agitate for ‘civil war’ — including a Jan. 6 rioterhttps://t.co/kRT1Ulc8ZT

Last night, I posted a screenshot of top replies on TheDonald about the Mar a Lago raid, almost all of them violent.

One user, bananaguard62, referenced a "civil war."

Well, it turns out bananaguard62 is Tyler Welch Slaeker, awaiting sentencing for storming the Capitol on 1/6. pic.twitter.com/wntNmjrgHX

Trump's supporters want a civil war after the #MarALagoRaid. His troops are extra super-duper pissed, but the the size of the army matters.

.@monacharen: “The Republican party, which seemed to be flirting with post-Trumpism just a few weeks ago, has now come roaring back as an authoritarian cult. Trump has not changed. But he has changed Republicans.” https://t.co/40JoFtjbFQ

Covers: Small Town Talk

“Small Town Talk” was written by Bobby Charles and Rick Danko. Both of them recorded it – Charles in 1972 and Danko in 1977.

The Trump cult is immune to facts – the 1/6 hearings changed nothing

The majority of Republicans will never accept the fact that Biden won the 2020 election. They have not been moved by the great job the 1/6 committee has done.

Jan. 6 hearings have no impact on public opinion; 4 in 10 would back a Trump presidential bid in 2024 (@PollsterPatrick @MonmouthPoll) Details: https://t.co/R84GqrAZru pic.twitter.com/61wKSkKA1x

New polling reinforces that Republicans are no less likely now than a year ago to say Biden won due to fraud and no more likely to reject politicians who claim Trump was the real winner. https://t.co/AWDozfR53o
