Wonder if this is trumps tactic of choosing someone even republicans will reject first so his next equally terrible choice seems more passable.

You think Republicans are going to reject?!

So far the only person that failed was Matt Gaetz whom they objectively hated as a person and involuntary colleague.

If Trump wants him, he must be good enough!

I’ve seen a dramatic rise in normie internet (Facebook and Instagram comments) that we’re on the cusp of civil unrest marked by violence

The messaging of trump putting troops out has people unnerved. Even rightwing prepper groups on Reddit are getting more riled up about their supplies and readiness (to weather violence not perpetrate it). Hard to tell which side of the event horizon we’re on now.
