What I’m really saying is the next Democratic administration and those going forward need to do a new Reconstruction and de-Nazification of government.

In fact, the next Dem administration—there will be a next one—should fund statues of Sherman throughout the south.

The energy the base wants is less proclamation of amnesty and more Sherman’s March to the Sea.

My message to Noem, Miller, Bovino: You’ve lost. Go home. You can’t move without us following you. You can’t get out of your cars without 100 times your number descending on you. You’re setting millions of dollars on fire only to kindle a hatred against you that will never die.
