Tick-tock, MAGAts.

Tick-tock.

April 10, 2025 - ICE Twitter post declaring ideas can enter a country illegally and the spreaders of ideas can be stopped (disappeared). The cross is no an accident. It's a dog whistle to christians for purification and extermination. Half a million views in the first 30 minutes.

Christians, get out and vote! Just this time – you won’t have to do it anymore. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine.

You won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians. I love you. Get out – you gotta get out and vote.

In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.
