The best outcome now is for the fuckers to mobilize and start killing ppl. Perform some actual Geneva convention war crimes and just really go to town. Proper attack.
Because right now is a very small but vocal group. And I'm sure Don Snorleone would marvel and rave about a new group of people marching forcefully in his name. Right up until they starts to execute democrats and people disagreeing with them on a whim.
Then you could respond in force, killing and jailing them and no one would disagree. It would be a wake-up call. It could purge parts of the GOP.
Now you have secession talks within the party that will just be whispers until this thing grows out of control. Then you get "Ciwil war" or god damn praise be "Handmaidens tale"...
Rise up and get fucked!
"The best thing" and "start killing ppl" should not be in one sentence. Those ppl will have families. I get the idea but no.
That's a typical genocidal lefty for you.
Fuck right off
The point here is that you need his base to start acting crazy.
Because they fucking are.
A second more horrible jan 6 would destroy that faction.
Left like it is now it can grow, but if it could boil over now it has a good chance to fizzle out.
Critical mass for violent escalation is really low.
Best thing would for these people would be for them to get bored of always being angry and move on to something else. Fizzle out, so to speak.
