Punks stuck in their mommy's and daddy's basements must be getting frustrated. Even our fearless leader bunker boy trump has been stuck in the basement too.
They've had no chance to even try to protest their white supremacist views...they would have been overwhelmed or swamped by the sheer numbers (remember rump's call for maga night? It sure petered out didn't it?).
People in this Country certainly see now how powerful these current protest movements are that are ongoing in every large metro area in the US. Bullies take heed/notice...see how unpopular trump is, see how unpopular your filthy white supremacist views are. Thank god the American people finally got tired of your BS and are lashing out at you cockroaches and your supreme leader who is hiding in the basement WH bunker, 'bunker boy' trump.
