This guy is going to be nominated to head the FBI.

“We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media. Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections – we’re going to come after you,” Patel said on a podcast hosted by another former Trump adviser, Steve Bannon.

“Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice,” Patel added. “We’re actually going to use the Constitution to prosecute them for crimes they said we have always been guilty of but never have.”

It’s worth noting that Patel is extreme as people loyal to Trump go — he seems interested in doing Trumps’ bidding, rather than what’s required by law or what’s right.

    A progressive will win. Especially an unapologetic one. Mark my words. We can keep spiraling down the right pipeline or we can try something that will actually work. People are fed up. You get a progressive that offers change to the working class and you’ll win. But go ahead and downvote me because I know I’m right.

      The Democratic Party has been moving further left ever since Bernie started working with them. Even with that small movement to the left voters turned out for republicans to “stop socialism”. And many progressives didn’t show up to vote because Harris wasnt far enough left.

      The majority of people fear change. If the progressives aren’t willing to vote for the lesser of two evils then the larger of two evils will keep winning.

        The Democratic Party has Ben moving further left.

        Man I wish I lived in your reality bud. They literally paraded Republicans this election cycle.

          They worked with never Trumpers to get more republicans to vote democrats instead. To pretend you don’t understand that is a bad faith argument.

            And did ya see how many Republicans they turned? Less than 10%. To pretend you dont know thats a bad tactic is in itself a bad faith argument.

              It didn’t work because republicans convinced voters to “stop socialism” by voting for Trump. Because Joe Biden’s “radical leftist” policies were responsible for inflation.

              If voters wanted someone more progressive then they would’ve chosen the most progressive candidate. But they didn’t.
