I think January 6 proved that they are more willing to take extreme measures. The tension has been noticeably increasing.
The reality is the rhetoric at hand leads only to civil war or a coup if it continues. The fascists are no longer pretending to respect elections, they have multiple oligarchs funding their delusions, and they're armed and violent.
It might not be this year, but it could be. Or the next.
This is why I can't stand the holy than thou people saying na na na boo boo you won't do shit about MAGA types in the comments of posts like these. J6 was a warning shot in the sense that we got lucky it was not well planned and that they were very stupid once they gained entry.
These people are crazy and they have demonstrated the willingness to act. It's so dangerous to say they won't do anything. They might not, but there is no calling it either way.
Yeah but imagine if there had been an actual armed response then. They would have been slaughtered.
I doubt they'll be so chill this time.
Till that one maga-hag took a bullet to the face. They stopped pushing that front REAL FAST.
