MSNBC top-rated host Rachel Maddow outlined in detail the violent hate speech MAGA has been running through Trump's campaign to destroy US democracy.

Maddow: This is not a response to anything.

What this is is just menace and physical threat, right?

It's not politics. It's just power. It's just force.

They're just promising violence. That is what they're offering in this election, that this is how we should run the country now.

We will hunt you down, and you'll know that we're in power, and we're going to get rid of law enforcement, we're going to salt the earth, and we're just going to hunt you down.

This is not some random right-wing media guy.

This is the man who was the campaign manager for Donald Trump and also the senior White House advisor to the former president, who is now their nominee again.

It's not like he's the only one who's saying this thing.

This is what they are offering the American public, and they love it.

They're super excited to be getting done with politics, getting right to the force and violence part of it.

Kari Lake: The next six months is going to be intense, and we need to strap on our—let's see.

What do we want to strap on?

We're going to strap on our seatbelt. We're going to put on our helmet or your Carrie Lake ball cap. We are going to put on the armor of God. Then maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us, just in case.

Trump: We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.

Jesse Watters: Don't you think for a second he's not going to unleash hell on all of his political enemies. This is where we are, and now we have to finish it.
[END CLIPS]

Maddow: "We have to finish it once and for all." They keep saying things like that.

Once and for all.

Finish it.

Vanquish them.

Right?

This is not politics.

In a political contest, you compete against your fellow citizens with whom you have political disagreements.

You know, the rival political party, whoever loses that fair race concedes, literally concedes, and then they come back.

They have the opportunity to come back in the next election cycle and compete against you again.

In real politics, nothing's ever finished.

You never take power once and for all.

Your enemies are not vanquished.

But they are not trying to win a political contest.

They are trying to do away with political contests in the United States of America, which might be why they're not putting much energy into the normal way of competing in this year's political contest.

MAGA wants a Trump-led theocracy, with no constitutional laws to stop the cockwobbler from running roughshod over the entire country.

They want a white nationalist stronghold against all minoirities, while vanquishing the LGBTQ+ community entirely.

We must stop them at the ballot box in November. And forever more.
