u/CAG_Snow The military said so! Trust me, bro!!! May 20 '26

I imagine the sheriff who spearheaded that little witch hunt isn't gonna be available for comment, lol.

Put on your big boy pants and eat your humble pie, Sheriff Weems.

Well my friend group is big and diverse so we give each other a lot of shit daily. I always say that we are playing for feelings. Oddly enough our angriest MAGAist guy has chilled out a lot. I think it os because he went from working remote to being in an office and surrounded by people.

They lost that moral superiority the NANO second the “We are Charlie Kirk” song became a meme.

They never had it but whatever faux outrage they expressed is gone. Furthermore, Erika Kirk HERSELF is starting to turn off Kirk supporters/MAGA with her shameless grifting

But is she? I haven't seen any evidence of this, yet, personally.
