If he loses again there's going to be carnage. Probably mass shootings and deaths this time.
There won’t be. Will be a few incidents, a nutjob or two. But nothing widespread.

Don’t underestimate how exhausted the nation is by this, nor the realiz(s)ation by some of the previously cavalier MAGAs what the consequences of their actions might be (cf. 1/6 defendants AKA criminals).

A “political prisoner” is still in prison. And they also know Trump won’t save them.
 
That fiveheaded Butthead looking **** Matt Gaetz looks to be in trouble again for sex trafficking and underage girls.
it's always the ones you most expected...

Religious - check
Evangelical - Check
Republican - check
Ultra right - check
Git - Check

Trans - nope
Gay - nope
Leftie - nope
Hippie - nope
Care for others - nope

Also January 6th happened because Trump had control of federal services and national guard and we know his cronies blocked them from supporting the DC police.

This time, Biden is in charge, and Washington DC will be absolutely swarming with police and feds expecting a repeat of 2021.

You bet. Maybe the assumption is in places outside DC (like parts of South Carolina e.g.) there will be problems. Could be.

Frankly if Trump does win and begins to advance some of his more heinous agenda I could see far larger (and at first peaceful) protests that erupt into worse things. Not “storm the capital and hang JD Vance” stuff, but more like 60s-style problems.

Just mass demonstrations in which local/federal law enforcement becomes somewhat overly aggressive and/or some demonstrators do likewise and people get hurt. What happens sometimes when large groups of angry people are protesting and those expected to keep them orderly clash. Nothing to do with what is being protested — just the emotional effects.

An interesting parallel with Speaker Johnson...


It's really quite simple - Johnson is a political animal and does what it takes to remain in power. That's why he's doing what he's doing. As for the accusation about child abuse, it's just Fox News style click bait at this point. Which is not to say that I'm a fan of MAGA, Christian Nationalist, Mike Johnson.

It's a bizarre thread, the mirror image of pizzagate.

They are and it's not just Democrats. Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, John Bolton and others are doing it as well. Unfortunately the way the GQP bubble works means that millions of people will never get the memo.
Agree but that hard core of delusional followers are too small in number nationally. Where there could be trouble is the red states where these idiots have a majority and if the maga loonies take hold of a state they could really do some damage.

Yeah, they immediately pivot into “Well, Biden is in China’s pocket”* and then go into hUnTeRs LaPtOp as somehow being evidence of this.

* This and ‘old man, senile Joe’ are going to be the two points they hammer on this year in the lead up to the election. Of course, they have no fucking actual policy to talk about that anyone with a shred of morals wants to hear.
