Family of Trump Supporters Dead in Murder Suicide Pact

Morgan Daub, 26, and her parents, James Daub, 62, and Deborah Daub, 59, were found dead on the ground in the backyard of their home in York County, Pennsylvania, on the morning of Jan. 25, after police responded to a request for a welfare check from a neighbor. 

The West Manchester Township Police Department has since said that notes left inside the house indicate that the family recently made a "joint decision" to end their lives. Police believe Deborah Daub shot and killed her husband and then was shot and killed by Morgan, who died by suicide. Police said there were no signs of forced entry or struggle and no evidence that anyone else had been present.

Stabley said the Christian, churchgoing family “was never shy about letting anybody know what their beliefs were” when it came to religion and politics. Morgan and Deborah “very, very huge” supporters of former President Donald Trump, Stabley said.

“They were just so hell-bent on Trump winning, like this could be in the end if he doesn’t,” Stabley said, referring to an instance when he saw them just before the 2020 election. He said he stopped seeing the two after that.

They homeschooled her, as noted in the NBC piece, further isolating her.

"Suffering from varying degrees of mental illness" seems to describe a lot of Trump supporters.

Is why it is dangerous to have someone like trump mouthing off like he does.

It is well known that we have a certain percentage of people in our population who are mentally ill. Then you have a person like trump, who for his own political power, addresses himself to their sick point of view.

Their main desire out of life seems to be to die and go to heaven, so just do it. Not an iota of concern from me.

Sometimes those pesky prophecies won't fulfill themselves unless you jump in and make it happen.

That is unacceptable behavior for a MAGAt. So, for the remaining 74 million (minus 3) trumphumpers out there, I say: Get off the stick and PROVE your love for the Orange Almighty.

But before you go, be sure to send him some money. Better still, name him in your will as the sole beneficiary. Don't forget to have it notarized.

Anytime you meet someone just certain they will be raptured up, ask them for a set of their car keys.

It must have been hell when they finally came to realize their hero was a cheap thief and a lying sack of shit.
