MAGA is a terrorist organization.
Hey dumbasses, Trump won’t be in office to stop the deployment of law enforcement this time. I predict that when Harris wins the Jan 6th crowd will be a tenth the size as last time and when they see all the cops lined up they won’t do a damned thing.
Yeah, and Capitol police will probably be much more willing to default to lethal force considering they lost a few people the last go-round.
I fear it won’t be centralized just in Washington this time and they could try to take many state houses that simply aren’t prepared as the Capital clearly will be. There was a clip of two men walking away from Jan 6 that haunts me. They were remarking on what an incredible day it was, and one of them says, “but next time we bring the guns”. If 100k armed idiots people show up at the Capital looking for a ‘revolution’, cops aren’t going to be enough. And even worse if they take to local streets looking for anybody who opposes them. I hope the fever doesn’t get that high, but I’ll for sure to be staying far away from any of those crazies for a while.
Send in the Guard then. And have other areas around the country on high alert. Also: watch these fuckers, and all their leaders of these little terrorist groups. Infiltrate them now, if they have not already. And the minute they start seeing them booking flights, renting cars, etc…track their movements. It’s not like there weren’t plenty of warnings last time around. These people were broadcasting their terrorism last time. And now they are emboldened, most of them will be just as open about it this time around.
If anywhere near that amounts of armed idiots shows up to DC this time, I’m certain the National Guard will be waiting for them.
We saw the limits of relying on Capital Police and DC Metro Police last time. A Biden admin transitioning to a Harris admin is not going to make that mistake again, and the MD National Guard will probably be ready and waiting for the assistance call like the one that came way too late 4 years ago.
Ding! My prediction is it’ll mostly be state capitols and voting tabulation centers.
Time for a for a few “Presidential acts” then. Maybe a few of these meal team 6 types get out of line with our election system by getting violent and they meet a bad end from some trained snipers. At the same time, known liars who whip up violence are strategically taken off the air at the same time, at least for a few hours/days. I hope the administration has a lot of people on this, and all of security is on high alert against the REAL enemies within - the qons.
I will most definitely have fun watching fascists getting arrested.
If they’re wearing MAGA gear, does that count as a “uniform”?
If the police are known for anything, it’s protecting their own.
When the mob heads for the Capitol again, there’s going to be an imperial fuckton more police there. When the mob attacks the police again, it’s gonna be “find out” time, which I fully expect will include National Guard mobilization.
No playing games this time. Full Nation Guard presence the moment shit starts going down.
1/6 will be different if Trump loses because he won’t be allowed to have a gathering in D.C. That shit will be shut down faster than you can blink.
Even if Trump WINS, he still won’t be allowed a gathering until the inauguration on 1/20.
Also, the scale of protest and organizing and protest in 2020 was orders of magnitude greater than right now. Trump may have increased the aggrieved class in this country, but he hasn’t expanded their on the ground organizing. The fact that the right simply isn’t nearly as organized (on the ground; I’ll cede they may be more organized politically) makes this a very very different threat environment.
J6 didn’t emerge out of nothing. They had been organizing MANY right wing events in the run-up to J6 to get MAGA trained up and activated to show up for that kind of event, for literally months before it happened. That has not happened so far, and there really isn’t time to get that kind of groundswell activated.
The “will be wild!” tweet was, what? 12/19?
I think your point is that it only took a few weeks to get the participants in J6 to arrive?
Yeah, what you are missing are the literal months of right wing protests at the scales of 20k, 50k+ scale, along with the hundreds of other events happening nationally in support of the MAGA movement. Go find any rosecityantifa member who was on the ground in 2020 and see what they have to say in terms of the scale of rw organizing versus now. Trump’s tweet acted on a movement ,on the ground that was material, and very very real (and well funded). That movement simply isn’t as present today as it was in 2020. There isn’t nearly the surface area for a tweet like to act upon.
It’s a GOOD THING our Justice Department gave out HUGE Consequences for LAST January 6th to Deter this kind of Behavior!
