Trump's obsession with revenge: A big post-verdict danger
Trump's obsession with revenge: A big post-verdict danger
The convicted felon has long hailed retaliation as a key to his success.
Sounds like a danger to society and a criminal. What does the justice system do with someone like that?
Wait, wait! I think I know this one! Is it "lock him up"?
that's what it should do anyway
We need to start a pool.
When he loses and declares the election stolen, how many of his cultists will lose their right to vote and own guns? We can break it down by state and date.
Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I have to assume that since an adult is in the white house right now and since we know what happened on Jan 6, there will be significantly more resources in place to protect the Capitol and other government buildings around the country this upcoming January. Plus we've seen that the FBI got a bunch of them and charged, convicted, and sentenced them, so there's some precedent to act as a deterrent now. The cultists may be fucking morons, but they're also absolute goddamn cowards, so I don't think they'll try to "storm" shit that is obviously properly defended, especially when they know that they'll probably be caught and go to prison for it. At least not thousands of them like last time. Maybe like 50 total will push through, but they ain't even getting to the steps outside this time.
It's not about an adult being in the White House; it's about a non-traitor being in it. The police weren't conspicuously mostly absent on Jan 6 because of incompetence; they were deliberately sent away in order to help the coup succeed.
