Meanwhile, trump's army of inbred rednecks, drunk karens and incels managed to storm the capital, and get away with it, while being livestreamed TO THE WORLD. The more i see messages like this the more i feel disappointed with americans. Too fat and diabetic to break into a sweat I see.
Trump started claiming the election was fraudulent on November 4th. He spent a month and a half riling up his base, telling them the election was stolen. Eventually on December 19th he set a date for his rally on Jan 6th, setting a firm date and giving his supporters 18 days to prepare.
The US is big, and getting to DC is expensive and difficult, and it takes a long lead time to make something like that happen. It's now just one month since Trump took power, and although his chaos started immediately, it took weeks for it to build up to something that people might be willing to travel to DC to protest.
These things take time.
Trump will tell them to open fire immediately in a Jan 6 like scenario.
It's faster to just write "I'm too scared."
It's okay, we're disappointed in you all as well. I mean, jeez, how many dictators have you all had? History tells us a great deal about you lot.
Please learn from our history. And if not, don’t try to be USA and want to do it greater than any one else.
Yeah but it’s impossible.
