Same thing happened with Bannon before the 2020 election. It won't make a difference to the cult

i'm pretty sure that historians will look back on this and agree that a wholesale slaughter of conservatives would have been the best course of action.

Man, the ballots aren't even printed yet and they're already planning their "Nuh-uh!!!!!!!" for when they lose. Truly, this is the strength and fortitude you expect out of your fascist leaders. Very strong and confident.

Duh.

It’s astounding to me that a second January sixth isn’t at the top of people’s minds this go round.

Not because it’ll be successful (although there’s always a chance) but because we already have elected officials who believe that trump won the 2020 election and there will only be more this time around.

What’s the long term effect of legitimizing disbelief in a functioning democracy? America never was one, but what does it mean when there’s double or triple digit numbers of elected officials who publicly say so?

The usual explanation for distrust in government has nothing to do with people recognizing reality and changing their views based on it but instead blames that change on lack of bread and circuses, no basics of life and no distraction from reality.

We certainly don’t have the basics of life, but the distraction machine is running like a champ slaps hood you could fit like seven more dissociative technologies in this sucker!

What combination of lack of basic necessities and distractions are driving people’s belief (true or false!) that the election was stolen and that our fake democracy is actually fake?

The only good news is that if they try to storm the Capitol again, they're not going to have Trump and his "acting" Secretary of Defense giving them cover this time.

Those troops are going to be loaded for bear.
