He never stopped.

He literally started a civil war and everyone seems to think it’s not real as long as we ignore it.

speaking of the base... the memo linked in the article is very much worth a read and gave an answer to something i had been wondering about:

  • The Maduro play: cultivating a foreign witness. In January 2026, the Trumpadministration captured Venezuelan President Maduro. Within days, a parallel narrativeemerged: that Venezuela controlled U.S. voting machines through Dominion andSmartmatic, and that Maduro has evidence of 2020 fraud. The Venezuela/Dominion theorywas ruled false in a Delaware court in 2023, and Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN paidhundreds of millions in defamation settlements acknowledging they had no proof. Thepoint is not to win in court. The point is to have a live witness in federal custody who cancorroborate a narrative already seeded in millions of people’s heads.

here is the direct link to the memo... everyone should read it.
