Bwahahaha....'A Total Failure': The Proud Boys Now Mock Trump

After the presidential election last year, the Proud Boys, a far-right group, declared its undying loyalty to President Trump.

In a Nov. 8 post in a private channel of the messaging app Telegram, the group urged its followers to attend protests against an election that it said had been fraudulently stolen from Mr. Trump. “Hail Emperor Trump,” the Proud Boys wrote.

But by this week, the group’s attitude toward Mr. Trump had changed. “Trump will go down as a total failure,” the Proud Boys said in the same Telegram channel on Monday.

As Mr. Trump departed the White House on Wednesday, the Proud Boys, once among his staunchest supporters, have also started leaving his side. In dozens of conversations on social media sites like Gab and Telegram, members of the group have begun calling Mr. Trump a “shill” and “extraordinarily weak,” according to messages reviewed by The New York Times. They have also urged supporters to stop attending rallies and protests held for Mr. Trump or the Republican Party.

Committing treason half way seems a sure way to get hung.

Except Madison has a patina of charisma about him,... but deep down he is Nazi scum.

We might see Cawthorn being Cotton's VP running mate. Cotton/Cawthorn 2024 - on the ReThug Nazi Party ticket.

The extreme right really threw their hearts and souls into Trump. In time they believed him to be the savior of White America, a messiah that would lead them to supremacy. They built billboards for their yards in his name and flew stylized flags on trucks and cars. They had a common thread and a battle cry: "MAGA!".

In time, they lost their grasp on reality and now their world has deflated with a mild pop and a wisp of smoke. Welcome back to our reality.

A white supremacist Charlottesville rally co-organizer says he is disgusted that the president 'let a Jew steal his daughter'.

Christopher Cantwell, a spokesman for Unite the Right, says he is hoping for a leader 'a lot more racist' and 'capable' of violence than President Trump to help the movement spread their racist ideals.

'Somebody like Donald Trump, who does not give his daughter to a Jew,' he said, in a documentary on last weekend's deadly march in Virginia.

'I don't think you could feel the way I do about race, and watch that Kushner bastard walk around with that beautiful girl.'
