Democrats promise retribution, even vengeance, on MAGA when they return to power. Senator Elissa Stotkin just said she wants to, “prosecute everyone who works for President Trump and that her goal is for young conservatives coming out of school to be afraid of working in a Republican administration” (X22 Report, Ep 4016b, Oct. 19, 2026, 41:41).
She is one of six Democrat members of Congress, former veterans, who November 26, 2025, created and distributed a video advising the military to disobey President Trump’s orders they considered in violation of the U.S. Constitution. She was a former CIA agent, the other, US Senator Mark Kelly, a former captain in the navy. The four House Democrats involved, also veterans, were Maggie Goodlander, Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, and Chris Deluzio. Their message over
and over by each on the video was, “WE WANT TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY— and then the above message. For MAGA these words of members of Congress and veterans, and their attempt to activate the military against Trump, were treasonous. (“Democrats Ignite Insubordination, Insurrection and Treason Concerns,” 11/26/2025, LibertyUnderFire.org).
These words remind us of what Susan Rice, a former member of Barack Obama’s inner circle, as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations from 2009 to 2013, and as his U.S. national security advisor from 2013 to 2017, promised last February, “that Democrats will punish people, companies, and institutions who have ‘taken a knee to Trump.’ ‘It's not going to end well for them. If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules…, They've got another thing coming. ‘There will be an accountability agenda.’ ‘This is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget. So anyone that dared to be affiliated with the Trump administration will be targeted for physical and legal reprisals’” (X22 Report, Ep 4016b, Oct. 19, 2026, 41:41). Rice was speaking for her political party. Democrats have been very open in what they will do. There has been no rebuttal to these drastic positions from even moderate Democrats. When reelected the Party intends vengeance.
We have to trust them. Look what they did when they took power after Trump’s first term, regarding the J6 Capitol demonstration. Classified documents now show the FBI had up to 300 assets in the crowd instigating the riot to destroy MAGA and lockup participants for long sentences. Why would we not believe them, given J6? On January 20, 2025, newly elected President Donald Trump, in a land slide victory in part due to the injustices of J6 patriots, and the very first day he could do so, signed an executive order granting pardons and commutations to over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 demonstration. Basically all Deep State presses on the left, Google and the legacy press, treated it as Trump’s not accepting the results of the 2020 election. Those on the right, as a coup d’état by the left to overthrow Trump’s government who had 14 days remaining in his first term. New documents and time greatly favor the latter view as will the history books in time.
Actually a vast majority of the violence on J6 was from Antifa dressed as MAGA or Capitol police firing multiple flash grenades into the J6 crowd to incite them to violence. January 6 rioters did not kill a single person. Capitol police killed two: Ashley Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland (“New Memos, FBI Secretly Prepared for J6 Event Months Before it Happened,” By Harold Pease, Ph. D., LibertyUnderFire.org, February 18, 2026).
Why should we not believe them given Arctic Frost? A multi-year program designed to destroy Donald Trump and MAGA as it absorbed the Republican party. Biden was already locking up Jan. 6’ers as fast as he could, some few without trial, and Arctic Frost was designed to lock up those supporting MAGA as well, but in perpetuity, and anyone else showing opposition to the tyrannical Biden administration. It was the bases for the fake indictments against Trump.
Arctic Frost became the most corrupt dragnet in U.S. history. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley just revealed the Biden Justice Department and Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained “detailed donor data and voter information on over 639,000 individuals during the Arctic Frost investigation” against Trump. More than half a million. This included: “names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses, party affiliation, places of employment, donation amounts, credit card information and donor habits. … including last 4 digits of credit card numbers.” The Biden government tracked you if you bought a red MAGA hat….The federal government collected your name and put it on a list” or if you donated as little as $5.00 dollars to Trump” [they] put you on this ‘enemy list’” (“Government Tracked You if You Bought a MAGA Hat or Donated $5 to Trump,” By Harold Pease Ph. D., Oct. 21, 2026, LibertyUnderFire.org).
Why would we not believe those inciting fellow military personnel TO DISOBEY THEIR COMMANDER IN CHIEF’S ORDERS, more especially given their party’s voting record the last ten years which opposes everything MAGA and patriots stand for. Every Democrat member of Congress voted against: “Record tax cuts, against no tax on tips, against no tax on overtime, and against no tax on Social Security… They voted against voter ID, against proof of citizenship, against securing the border. They voted in favor of the worst inflation and highest energy cost in American history. In favor of the transgender mutilation of your children, and in favor of men in women sports (X22 Report, Ep. 4017b, Oct. 20, 2026, 57:05). They support illegals voting and oppose illegals being deported. Illegals are their favored constituency. These differences are probably clearer now than in any national election in American history. There support for violence in America through Antifa and Black Lives Matter has been on display for ten years.
When they return to power they are especially poised to punish MAGA and promise to do so. Let’s not let that happen!
