Trump followers invade the capitol

[Totenkindly]

They really are like religious nuts, except Trump is their savior. This is so alien to me, I just don't get it.

Of course, this is Trump:

I have no words for this:
Taj Allen - These are the people we got to watch for. Smh.... | Facebook

Don't startle the Witch.

QAnon believers are in disarray after Biden is inaugurated - CNN

See this line?

"Well babies are still being raped and eaten, any f**kin minute now GOD"

How do I know that is really a so-called believer and not someone who wants someone to become a so-called believer? I'm focusing on who is pulling the strings. I don't believe for one minute someone isn't throwing gasoline at fragile people to whip them into a fiery frenzy. It's kind of like Don Jr. That guy is pathological. Far worse than his father.

The number of people I have heard or read who claim they had NO idea about QAnon, The Proud Boys, white nationalists in the US military and police, etc, until today is just mind blowing to me. It certainly wasn't regulated to academics that work in extremism or investigative journalists reporting on it - cooperate news did plenty. But this is how the majority of Americans approach anything they can't comprehend - never proactive, always reactive.

The majority of Americans are stupid and you—alone—can fix it.

You're right. Why assume ordinary folks should have any stake or interest in solving problems? Let someone responsible take care of it; they've been doing such a bang-up job of it for 20 years at least.

Okay, Donald. Where you've been for the last 4 years, who knows . . .

Hey, what's your explanation for why there's been a rise in populism over the last decade? I'd love to hear your take on the subject.

I don't want to talk about Bernie right now. Maybe some other time.

I guess an answer to that question wasn't programmed into you. No need to wonder about why certain things are a certain way, just let the "experts" handle it.

Broccoli.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Oh, and then when bad things happen, run around in panicky circles because "nobody could have seen this coming."

Pancakes.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Pancakes.

haha, yeah right.

 

[Jaguar]

haha, yeah right.

You need a talk with Bernie. You'll feel better.

 

[Lark]

haha, yeah right.

broccoli and pancakes is a pretty shite brunch to be honest.

a "total failure" : Proud Boys now mock Trump

Dunno if anyone posted that already. If you can't interrupt the Javascript firewall, it essentially is "racists upset that racism was grifted by grifter-in-chief" and they see Trump as a traitor now. (In actuality, he was always gonna throw them under the bus if they failed to overturn the election.)

...After the violence, the Proud Boys expected Mr. Trump — who had earlier told his supporters to “fight much harder” against “bad people” — to champion the mob, according to their social media messages. Instead, Mr. Trump began distancing himself from his remarks and released a video on Jan. 8 denouncing the violence.

The disappointment was immediately palpable. One Proud Boys Telegram channel posted: “It really is important for us all to see how much Trump betrayed his supporters this week. We are nationalists 1st and always. Trump was just a man and as it turns out an extraordinarily weak one at the end.”...

...Some Proud Boys became furious that Mr. Trump, who was impeached for inciting the insurrection, did not appear interested in issuing presidential pardons for their members who were arrested. In a Telegram post on Friday, they accused Mr. Trump of “instigating” the events at the Capitol, adding that he then “washed his hands of it.”

“They thought they had his support and that, ultimately, Trump would come through for them, including with a pardon if they should need it,” said Jared Holt, a visiting research fellow at the Atlantic Council’s DFR Lab. “Now they realize they went too far in the riots.”

Some Proud Boys now say in online posts that the group should “go dark” and retreat from political life by cutting its affiliation to any political party. They are encouraging one another to focus their energies on secessionist movements and local protests.

“To all demoralized Trump supporters: There is hope,” read one message in a Proud Boys Telegram channel on Wednesday. “There is an alternative. Abandon the GOP and the Dems.”

So I guess theyve become less "proud boys", more... "disenchanted boys" now...

Do you think that if there'd been no Trump then there would have been a Bernie government perhaps from real change in government?
