In ‘mirror world’, Trump is martyr and Biden is autocrat, as calls for violence erupt on internet after ex-president’s conviction

““If we jail Trump, get rid of Maga, end the electoral college, ban voter ID, censor free speech, we’ll save democracy,” says one meme in a QAnon channel on Telegram that depicts Biden in a Nazi uniform with a Hitler mustache”
Apparently they at least understand their opponent’s view .
You're viewing a single thread.
Given Trump's failure to maintain power when he had it, I have little faith the gravy seals will rise to an occasion while his opposition is in power.
Not saying it shouldnt be taken seriously... Saying it should be televised 🍿
Agreed. I don't fear the thicc morons assembling on a large enough scale or being organized enough. These are Walmart shoppers who vacation in Florida every year for the most part, they're not going to be committed, adaptive, intelligent, resilient. They're not loyal enough to any one cause by nature, most are just vocal karen types over a bunch of superficial bs.
Will/can some of them be a problem? For sure, but... Yeah
I fear that those who favor the rule of law and maintaining peaceful order are even more complacent than the Q-tards. So if they have a sizeable portion of the cops on their side....
The Guardian is a UK source and isn't the best at US news. They don't quite understand US voters, so read the facts but ignore their opinions and analysis.
UK readers: Trump voters are like your drunk uncle down the pub who's always shouting at footy on the telly. They're going to talk big, but it's doubtful they'll ever actually get off their arse and do anything they claim.
The Guardian has an international writing staff.
The author of this article, if you click on her name, for example:
Rachel Leingang is a democracy reporter focused on misinformation for Guardian US. She is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Here's her LinkedIn, saying she has 10 years of reporting experience after going to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications in Arizona for 4 years. https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-leingang-6a044b2a
Didnt they launch an attempted coup d'etat last election? Granted an incredibly shittly planned and executed one, but they stormed the capitol trying to hang government leaders.
I think the point they're trying to make is that the second they met actual opposition (when the secret service fired on the mob trying to breech what I think was the legislative chamber, don't recall exactly) the mob dissolved immediately.
I will never not chuckle at gravy seals
