MAGA’s Foundational Lie
The movement claims to stand with the police. Trump’s decision to pardon the cop-beaters of January 6 exposed his movement for what it is.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Nice try, but we remember who put these vaccine deniers in positions of power… and who, once they proved utterly unfaithful to their promises, are still keeping them there.
Sen Cassidy: “Claiming that risk from vaccines is greater than the threat from disease has led to highest rate of measles in decades. Undermining faith in polio vaccine will lead to paralyzed children. What others are doing will be blamed on President Trump. Unfair but true.”

If you turn away from what's happening and have ANY political power, you've made your choice.
You're supporting the killing and kidnapping of innocent people.
And people around the US -- and the world -- are bearing witness.
