    That’s because people are far too invested in their own comforts. 1/6 was an outlier because they were under the mistaken impression that Trump would lift even a single finger to protect them, which has not played out at all.

    We might see a similar event after the 2024 election if Trump doesn’t win again, but not on any kind of national scale.

      Which really goes to show how far from reality their perception of trump really is

        Didn’t he just promise to free all of his imprisoned idiots? I’m sure he’ll get right on that

          There are only two things left that trump could do that would actually surprise me, which is impressive considering how often I was shocked by his actions in the beginning. Those two things are “tell the truth”, and “do the right thing”. If he ever does either of those things my mind will explode.
