I don’t understand how MAGA Christians can see this imagery and not think twice 🤨

Kamala Harris tried to warn us. Donald Trump is an unserious person who’s a serious threat to us all.

A screenshot of an X post by Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin
) on x.com. The post highlights a video posted by the President of the United States, a role once held by Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR, and questions whether the price of groceries or housing has gone down for families or how a child's job search is going in the Trump economy. The embedded video, credited to Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump
), shows a dark, dramatic scene with hooded figures, one resembling the President holding drumsticks, with the U.S. Capitol building in the background, and a timestamp of 00:09/01:07.
