I have faith in the deep state to root out 99% of the plots against the “easy targets” of vote counting stations. The mass needed to be effective even at the margins requires a sophistication that just isn’t there.
Would I be 100% comfortable working security in a swing state vote counting operation? No, the loons do clearly feel empowered.
If I were a GOP strategist I’d consider every extra bit of resources/worry on that a win.
I have every intention of helping out again for the election next year, so the answer to this question is ME.
But if they already know the fix is in and the legislature won’t certify any dem victories, then the actual count doesn’t matter anyway so why bother storming the election center?
“dead revolutionaries” is a very wide cohort into which ashli babbit fits in just fine. most of the time they are myths concocted post-mortem and used as propaganda.
the right wing know how to get vorp out of some fb qanon cosplayer anyways. left wing are trying to convince themselves that manchin is vorp.
In retrospect, I think the US would be better off now if they got like 5 congressmen. It would have spooked enough corporate types and GOP donors to definitively break with trumpism, probably fracture the GOP, and the DOJ could go full force against Bannon, Eastman, Miller, Rudy, and maybe even Trump. Nancy has had a good run and would have been a solid martyr. As usual, Trump’s basic lack of competency saved him.
Go ahead, stop playing games, outlaw Roe. Even dumb republican women will be able to do the math on that.
The one tunnel cop they talk to for a good chunk who got pulled into the crowd 100% thought he was going to be murdered. Go back and look at the footage where you can see him alone in the mob screaming out that he has kids. Those are the eyes of a man who knows he only has seconds to live.
Its no wonder there are some who took their lives. That kind of trauma can really fuck a person for life.
I have seen, conservatively, 1,000 articles since 2016 predicting actual legal trouble for Donald Trump. These people are as delusional as the QAnon people waiting for JFK yesterday.
Talking about what a mob intends to do or not do makes no sense. Mobs are notoriously unfocused and fickle and easily convinced to do atrocious shit at the drop of a hat.
