2020 US Elections

So weird how poor the police response has been. You just know if the sides were switched there would be full SWAT teams deployed in full battle gear lobbing tonnes of tear gas and flash bangs.

 

[grunge]

Of course they will. It's why I've never been worried about a "revolution". This is just Trump's firm.

in a traditional sense your right. Odds of a “Syria” style civil war is beyond minuscule.

but cell style gorilla warfare they could wage a slow burn civil war for years. IRA was only a few thousand people in total.

doesn’t take many to cause a lot of damage if they are organised

Maybe not over, but it didn't exactly look like the storming of the Winter Palace. More "After you, Claude", "No, after you." "Don't step outside the rope barriers." (I know it looks like someone got shot, but there were a lot of people on the steps who didn't seem keen to get inside the building.)

Maybe Vic, but the level of security inside the building was absolutely paltry, considering a) what a significant building it is, and b) the fact all this today should be no surprise whatsoever as it’s been flagged up for days on social media.

Ted Cruz should be hanging from a lamp post as well

Fixed that for you

Fcuk me, US coppers suddenly don't want to use their guns.
That's a first

My thoughts exactly. Compare it to Trump ordering a clearing out of all those people from the roads outside the White House a few months back.

Let’s not forget a vote for Trump is exactly the same as a vote for Biden.

Good point.

On the other hand, it might oddly be cathartic, like lancing a boil. One can but hope.

Send John and Ruben over, they'll defend the constitution better.

None shall pass.

Where’s Bigga?

 

[Gray]

I am now awaiting for the population of the USA to start shooting each other, they have got enough weapons stockpiled for a really good bloodbath.

Yeah, I’ve been hanging out on a US right wing forum out of Louisiana and they‘ve been psyching themselves up for violence for the last few weeks, so zero surprise it kicked off.

All authoritarian RW leaders have to be dragged out of office amidst chaos and violence, you could see this coming from space. How the hell no one was prepared for it is bizarre.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I mean it's been said a lot today, but it turns out that blue lives matter actually meant black lives don't matter. Very little concern for blue lives on show.

It's probably a good thing really. I bet the mob were more heavily armed.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Mad country.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Of course they will. It's why I've never been worried about a "revolution". This is just Trump's firm.

Yes but it really needs to be stamped out tonight.
You can’t have that mob turning up at the inauguration.
They should be stamped on tonight.

What a mess.

 

[Vic]

Well, at least the first objection debate has had its two hours.

Shame it was only mace
