President Trump’s steadfast popularity has become a troubling conundrum for establishment politicians, leaving them disoriented and desperate. The overwhelming support for Trump has exposed the irrational fears and outright delusions of many in the Democratic Party, leading to bizarre and alarmingly violent fantasies about their political opponents.
A recent exhibition of this was on full display when Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin, a key player in the now infamous January 6 committee, turned up on CNN to engage in a nearly two-minute rant filled with familiar fabrications about the Capitol riot. He ended his tirade with a conspiracy theory so outlandish that it raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. Raskin questioned why more than 1,500 Americans, who were accused of various offenses during the January 6 events, would be released, suggesting that they might be utilized as a “reserve army of political foot soldiers” for Trump and the MAGA movement.
Newly-pardoned Jamie Raskin melts down over J6 pardons — after a slew of lies, rants that freed J6’ers are violent threats:
"Reserve army of political foot soldiers to act on behalf of MAGA and Donald Trump."

Raskin’s nonsensical speculation unveils a deep-seated paranoia among establishment Democrats regarding Trump supporters. The idea that these individuals could transform into a militia at Trump’s behest is a clear indicator of how far removed from reality some politicians have become. One has to wonder who he thinks Trump is—some sort of political puppet master orchestrating a coup with his “reserve army”? The absurdity would be amusing if it weren’t also a tad alarming.
Fear and loathing seem to have become the order of the day for many in the establishment, driving them to entertain violent rhetoric against their fellow Americans. This isn’t a new phenomenon. In 2023, former Vice President Kamala Harris casually advocated for Australian-style gun confiscation—quite the leap for a nation that prides itself on the Second Amendment. During his 2024 State of the Union, President Biden also attempted to equate the conflict in Ukraine with an imagined struggle against Trump’s MAGA movement, blurring the lines of reason and responsibility in a way never seen before.
Raskin, with a history of alarmist statements, ominously predicted “civil-war conditions” should Congress attempt to disqualify Trump following an electoral victory. This prediction, underpinned by the false premise that the Fourteenth Amendment limits Trump from holding office, demonstrates not only a lack of understanding of the law but also an alarming urge to create tension. By suggesting that voters would be disregarded in favor of a political agenda, Raskin has rendered himself an extremist, unintentionally underscoring the fragility of the very democracy he professes to uphold.
In conclusion, Jamie Raskin has presented nothing short of a comedic spectacle of fear-driven fantasies powered by his obvious disdain for Trump and MAGA supporters. His suggestion of a 1,500-person militia, born from a misguided understanding of political dynamics, only serves to highlight how effectively Trump has rattled the political establishment. Rather than engaging with the will of the people, Raskin and his colleagues prefer to live in a state of hysteria, proving yet again that Trump’s presence has fundamentally impacted American politics and shown just how out of touch many legislators really are.
