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.
I know they do it intentionally to water down the meaning of the words, but if I didn’t know better, I would think these people were so fucking stupid that they just repeat whatever word they’ve recently heard used in a negative context.
Also, the lies and projection in that article are too egregious for me to get through the whole thing.
Edit: bad voice to text
“Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds.”
Vote is Nov 13, arranged a month ago which Laura Loomer thinks this was the plan all along.
Describing Cornyn as a liberal is absolutely absurd
You missed the Cheney part.
They are intentionally labelling anything not maga/nazi as liberal.
It’s all a matter of perspective; when you’re that far right, ultra-conservatives are way more liberal.
They wish they could hate leftists as much as leftists do
They do. It’s just a much bigger group to them, so the hate spreads further.
Conservatives are also literally a branch of ideological liberalism.
Don’t assume fascists don’t know what the words they use actually mean.
What vote are they holding? How does this stop trump?
The Senate majority leader sets the legislative agenda, and often what gets passed.
You know the times are dire when you find yourself rooting for Moscow Mitch.
I’m not. The turtle is ruthless and smart and would limit the insanity. Nah, let the people have what they want.
We thought that the insanity would eventually make Trump and MAGA candidates unelectable. That hasn’t happened yet, so I’m not sure if limiting it really matters.
Yup. Americans are to stupid or racist or misogynist or whatever to actually learn. I think Americans need to finally feel the dildo of consequences that rarely comes lubed fully to maybe finally learn.
No kidding, I had a brief moment where I hated him slightly less but then I remembered all the tangible harm he has done and it went away.
He’s less bad than I’d expected him to be. He’s still horrendous but not quite as bad
Please don’t. Mitch is just as awful but with a tiny bit of intelligence making him dangerous.
Well, well, well, time for the leopards to eat Mitch McConnels face.
Mitch realizes that conservative Republicans have lost their party to MAGA.
Nah. They’re in cahoots. He’s just trying to find out who the loyalists are.
Please be advised, this is an article about a Tucker Carlson segment which doesn’t provide any additional info or context of its own
Tucker is telling MAGA that any non-MAGA republican is a fake RINO and can’t be trusted.
Only those that Trump says are loyal, are actually loyal. Everyone else is sus.
Yeah, I thought their Nacht der langen Messer was supposed to happen after the inauguration.
They’re taking the “speed” part of “20th century speedrun” pretty seriously.
I saw some professor online, saying that the first victims of fascists are the true believers of the party they grew out of, and to watch for that happening with the Republicans.
You mean like when the neocons got purged for not being loyal enough?
I have a suspicion that he’s not going to pardon anyone who participated in Jan 6.
They failed, and he hates that.
Oh man, it sounds like the fascist out group just keeps growing.
Ideally, the in-group is eventually reduced to only the leader himself, with even his closest advisors constantly backstabbing each other over his favor.
Cause they are the greatest threat to his throne.
The second half of this statement is just redundant
we can only hope their are repugs that oppose him. in the final push many will cave

He does more then shit his diaper on stage?
American politics looks like a fucking hospice.
They’ll kiss Trump’s ass in time, this is just a false alarm.
I’ll believe it when I see it. McConnell is a cold warrior and a Reagan Republican at heart, but he’s also soulless and evil like the rest of them.
Does some part of him still give a shit about his country? I find it hard to believe.
Does some part of him still give a shit about his country?
I doubt it. This is probably for selfish reasons.
Probably worried about his wife getting sent to prison
Wasn’t he on the record criticizing Trump over j6 at some point? Might not have actually done anything about it, but that’s probably incentive to at least want to avoid letting Trump go full dictator, lest he eventually find himself targeted for past disloyalty
He was against impeachment and banning Trump from future office, because he was out of office and it was up to the justice department.
Well Mitch, the hen has come back to roost.
A big part of Project 2025 is eliminating checks and balances, and consolidating power into the Whitehouse. That means taking power away from the house and senate, and from McConnell.
That means taking power away from the house and senate, and from McConnell.
Ah there it is. It’s not about saving the USA, it’s about him losing power.
If he gave a shit about the country, he would have voted to convict Trump back in 2021.
no honor among grifters
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.
Nah, Pence is apparently too dumb to leave the country, that gibbet is getting used.
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.
as he “accidentally” walks out of a 10th floor window …
And falls onto two very inconveniently placed bullets, resting tips up on the sidewalk, with the back of his head
There’s nothing to be gained from platforming fascists like cucker.
