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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

        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.
