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.
