A Georgia woman who reveres Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene and is known online as ‘Burnitdown' portends what the Trump movement is becoming.
She rummaged around and found phone numbers. Partial addresses. Names. She realized she was going to need a large table. Lots of tape. It was going to take a whole team of people to put the pieces back together, and more time than she had to spare at that moment. She had Republican Party meetings to attend where she was calling out “RINOs” — Republicans in name only. School issues to address such as removing library books that were allegedly pornographic.
Instead, Rubino saw a person like herself: a political outsider who shared the same sense of urgency about the same dystopian America, one that required a popular uprising to save it. To that end, Rubino had so far managed to rally enough people to get the county election board ousted, replacing its members with those who believed that the 2020 election was stolen.
They were also planning to start a podcast called “The Dirty Peach” to expose “RINOs” and “criminal politicians.” And, to keep people motivated, they were launching an elaborate online game in which players would earn points by carrying out political actions in real life, the more audacious the better, such as Rubino’s dumpster dive.“Everybody’s waiting for a white horse to come and save us from the chaos,” Rubino said. “But no white horse is coming.
“It’ll be a safe space,” she said. “People can come and express themselves without worrying someone’s going to call them crazy.”“Always something else to do,” she said. “Yeah,” said Rubino. “But this s--- has been going on forever; it’s just that now it’s being revealed. It’s our fault. We gave them too much power.”It was a sunny day, and as they drove through a landscape of fresh green fields and wildflowers, they talked about all the ways they felt hated by Americans who weren’t them.
“They should just let Russia handle Ukraine — they’re ruled by Biden’s family anyway,” said Rubino. “They’re all just making money off it.”“Do y’all have any Witt signs?” the volunteer said.“Fellow patriot,” the volunteer said, referring to a Trump-endorsed candidate for state insurance commissioner.
They arrived in a half-empty downtown, passing a storefront church that was screening a film called “Whose Children Are They?” that purported to expose “the hidden agenda in America’s schools.” They turned into a neighborhood of patched-up bungalows. Rubino handed him some signs, and Smith asked about his wife, who’d recently quit her job as a caregiver in a nursing home.“She told me she came in one day and they didn’t even have wipes,” said Smith. “How can you not have any wipes, and then you got chandeliers in the lobby?”
She did this sometimes, whenever she was feeling overwhelmed by what she believed the country was becoming. It was a warm afternoon, and she decided to work on the flooring of the tents. It helped to do something tangible. She dragged several sheets of plywood to the area in her yard she’d already cleared and began screwing them together, thinking about the question that was always at the bottom of days like this, one she had been wrestling with most of her life.
She had never stopped thinking about it, though, and in some ways, she said, it was the question that had drawn her into the movement for Donald Trump, who was the first politician to give voice to her private thoughts about what America was becoming, which made her feel recognized and even important.
A bus plastered with Trump’s face arrived with the emcee for the evening, a pro-Trump talk show host who billed himself as “The Godzilla of Truth.” Another bus plastered with the name of a U.S. Senate candidate inched its way down the driveway. Soon, a DJ was blasting music. A portable projection screen was being inflated for a showing of the film “2000 Mules,” a debunked narrative of election fraud purporting to be a documentary. Rubino fired up the grill as more candidates arrived.“Mr.
