    I don’t know why people keep laughing this shit off…

    It doesn’t have be a 1/6 again for there to be danger. Like, you all forget that someone broke into Nancy Pelosi’s home and beat her husband with a hammer?

    He openly said his plan was to hold her prisoner and torturer her until she admitted to what faux news said she did. And that he was open to executing her if he couldn’t get a confession out of her.

    That shit was fucking real, and because just one person stupid enough to not even check if she was on that Coast of the country at the time.

    Even 1/6 wasn’t really a call to riot until everyone was already there. Most of the idiots that were there didn’t know what was going to happen, but the militia assholes were coordinating with Trump’s campaign to use those idiots as cover to prevent police from getting thru the crowd.

    All it would have taken was 20 of those militia idiots to get in with handguns and they likely would have been able (and surely were willing) to execute any Senator or House member they wanted.

    Stop taking fucking victory laps and treating literal by the neck victories like the war is over.

    Because the fascists aren’t going to just go cry in a corner. And I don’t mean that like calling all trump supporters fascists. I mean the actual self aware and heavily armed people who want to install a fascist dictatorship and the people who funnel huge sums of money and even access to trump.

    Hell, Russian propagandists are still a thing that happens, and they operate where trumpets already are. They’re not trying to get trump new voters. They’re trying to radicalize existing supporters and convince the masses to show up as a distraction.

    So whether it’s “lone wolf” attacks, or another serious attempt using idiots as human shields, something is inevitably going to happen again.

      As a person watching it all from a safe distance (I will still suffer from the ripples of an event though) it’s just bonkers that the republican party more or less are being controlled by the Russians.

      If I traveled back 30 years no one, literally no one, would believe me if I told them about the current situation…

      Imagine telling Reagan that his country and his party would be pwned by the Russians. Yup, straight to the asylum you go…

      I think there is a good possibility of small attacks here and there, but January 6th happened because they were already gathered in one place after a lot of planning and got fired up by both Trump supporters and Trump himself (who told them to go to the Capitol).

      Their big civil war or whatever it is they are hoping for is not going to happen.

    Is anyone surprised by this? He’s spent basically the last 8 years training his cult members to commit homicide anytime they are even mildly inconvenienced…

      Oh man, they’d be super offended by your comment if they could afford Internet. And read.

    Correction: Trump supporters call for other people to riot and carry out their retribution.

    “Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan”

    Bunch of lazy cowards.

    Ah yes, calling for it because the cowards won’t die for their own ideals.

    No, they’ll just shoot up a school or murder some innocent people for the crime of having brown skin or being LGBTQ+. Fucking rats.

    I just said something similar in another thread, but for January 6th to happen, they had to be gathered in D.C. for a rally a significant amount of time after the election to give them plenty of time to get riled up, there were prominent Trump supporters on stage getting them riled up even more, then Trump himself showed up and told them to march (with him) to the Capitol and that is when the insurrection started.

    On top of that, you had the current president of the U.S. supporting them the entire time because he wanted to stay president.

    This is not going to have the same effect. The true die-hards are too spread out now. Could there be a few incidences here and there? Possibly. There won’t be riots.

    Would this be the same Trump supporters who never bothered to show up to support him at his trial in huge numbers despite him personally telling them to?

    For anyone reading this who might be advocating violence elsewhere:

    1. This will not go the way you think it will.

    2. “Where we go one, we go all” yeah, and I can tell you right now where y’all are going:

      That’s a nice looking cell. In the context of America, it might not be selling the point you wanted to make

            I don’t know, but if I ever went to prison I would be alright if I had a cell like this and materials to write. I would finally turn all of my world-building into a proper novel, and would hope I didn’t violent crime my way past public redemption.

      That’s cool it comes with a small shelf for your cat to sleep on in case you’d like to bring him.
