    Yeah, there's a whole other tweet string on this possibility but I didn't go there as it is much too speculative for me and I'm just not comfortable with it.

    Seriously, I think the possibility that it was MTG is virtually nil. I posted the photos as an attempt at humor considering she is quite the wacko based her statement on attributing the California wildfires to Jewish Space lasers and her identification with a cult that supports the absurd narrative there is a conspiracy of pedophiles among the Hollywood elite and Democratic officials and that Donald Trump will save the country from said pedophiles.

    Thanks. Yeah, I was just kind of happy that I wasn't the only one thinking it :D

    As for some MTG, I don't like to entertain such ideas. Too conspiratorial and rw-ish to me. :)

    It’s getting real…. Everyone strap up!

    Millions of Angry, Armed Americans Stand Ready to Seize Power If Trump Loses in 2024

    He is one of many rank-and-file Republicans who own guns and in recent months have talked openly of the need to take down—by force if necessary—a federal government they see as illegitimate, overreaching and corrosive to American freedom.

    The phenomenon goes well beyond the growth of militias, which have been a feature of American life at least since the Ku Klux Klan rose to power after the Civil War. Groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, which took part in the January 6th riot at the Capitol and may have played organizational roles, have grown in membership. Law enforcement has long tracked and often infiltrated these groups. What Nieznany represents is something else entirely: a much larger and more diffuse movement of more-or-less ordinary people, stoked by misinformation, knitted together by social media and well-armed. In 2020, 17 million Americans bought 40 million guns and in 2021 were on track to add another 20 million. If historical trends hold, the buyers will be overwhelmingly white, Republican and southern or rural.

    America's massive and mostly Republican gun-rights movement dovetails with a growing belief among many Republicans that the federal government is an illegitimate tyranny that must be overthrown by any means necessary. That combustible formula raises the threat of armed, large-scale attacks around the 2024 presidential election—attacks that could make the January 6 insurrection look like a toothless stunt by comparison. "The idea that people would take up arms against an American election has gone from completely farfetched to something we have to start planning for and preparing for," says University of California, Los Angeles law professor Adam Winkler, an expert on gun policy and constitutional law.

    Both Democrats and Republicans are rapidly losing faith in the integrity of U.S. elections. Democrats worry that voter suppression and election interference from Republican state officials will deny millions of Americans their say at the polling booths. A PBSNewsHour/ NPR/ Marist poll in early November reported that 55 percent of Democrats saw voter suppression as the biggest threat to U.S. elections. Republicans claim, contrary to the evidence, that Democrats have already manipulated vote counts through fraud to steal a presidential election. An October CNN poll found that more than three-quarters of Republicans falsely believe Joe Biden's 2020 election win was fraudulent.

    Deeply disturbing that people are so depraved that they have thoughts like that and even more disturbing that one or two of the scenarios presented are not so far-fetched. I need more ammo.

    Looks like they’re looking at some of the folks installed for this purpose. Clark was pushing the big lie in Georgia to get them to appoint alternate electors and trying to get installed as acting AG to further the scheme. Clark has already been found in contempt.

    I’ve seen varying percentages of how many think trump is still the president and the number is always more than half of all republicans.
    What a bunch of idiots.

    The fact that the chairperson of the RNC said trump is the leader of the R party makes their argument ignorant.

    thanks trump. Ironic repubs use to accuse President Obama of purposely “destroying America”. Trump actually is and is fostering further violence. Just so he can stay in power.

    Prophetic thread. Look at the dates.



    Hard to say the signs weren’t there.

    It amazes me that any American is pro Trump. I get if people don’t like Biden, but how the hell can anyone who actually loves this country support trump?

    It was obvious something was gonna happen. Trump and Bannon all but called it an open invitation to insurrection. I remember there being plenty of discussion here about possible scenarios these loons would try to block the election results. I don’t think anyone had a mob chanting “Hang Mike Pence” on their bingo card.

    That guy pretty well nailed what actually would happen. It is the detail to his prediction that nails it.
