Charlie Sykes/The Bulwark:
Taking the Trump Davidians Seriously
And: What does “Come Retribution” really mean?
Nota bene: If he wins next year, he’s going to pardon them [the J6 convicted insurrectionists] all. He keeps telling us so. Over and over again.
But he keeps telling us other things as well. Perhaps attention ought to be paid, because his campaign gets no points for subtlety. This is, after all, not the first time he has performed the J6 prisoner anthem and praised the imprisoned Insurrectionists.
This wasn’t a gaffe — it has become a foundational theme in his bid to reclaim power.
When he launched his campaign, notes Jonathan Karl in his new book, Trump chose Waco, Texas for his first rally. The symbolism shouldn’t be overlooked.
